    Opinion on meat slicer, Hobart

    I move fast apparently. I JUST now saw a globe G12 listed on ebay (must have happened late last night). The G series has 1/2 HP motor vs the 1/3. Rates for 4 hours of meat 2 hours cheese, much higher than 1 hour meat and "limited" cheese for the C12. It was only 30 bucks more (plus sales tax...

    Opinion on meat slicer, Hobart

    I had a line on two globe cg12s for 400 bucks out of state, one required repair which is fine bc my family runs a foodservice repair in that state. But someone beat me to it. Now I'm looking at a globe c12 here for 500 (c12 still made cg12 discontinued) or the new vollrath now dropped to 350. V...

    Opinion on meat slicer, Hobart

    When I see the Vollrath at 500 bucks on local ad, 950 retail and it's 288 watts and I see KWD at 320 watts for 384 new, I have to think something's gotta give. I understand parts are always better for machines like this, but isn't the main thing the motor and maybe blade quality? But the cheaper...

    Opinion on meat slicer, Hobart

    Well the hobart guy's not getting back to me and the glove C12 appears to be gone. There is a Sirman slicer on there, from what I've found an italian model. My family runs a food equipment company and their advice was no imports for reason of parts availability. They service Hobart and Globe at...

    Opinion on meat slicer, Hobart

    Good feedback! Due to size I'll be carrying this from my shed I didn't realize they were that heavy. Another person has a globe c12 for 500 bucks. That's quite a bit cheaper than new 1400 and it's still produced

    Opinion on meat slicer, Hobart

    I need a new meat slicer. I have on one of those home unit that is so chintzy and a pain to clean. Meat gets into the screw heads every time and it just sucks. I want either a used commercial unit or something like the several brands out there that are either home/small deli units one notch...

    Coppa minor fail

    ah well damn! I have two coppa cuts since I butchered it myself. That's what I get for following a book and not my brain!

    Coppa minor fail

    So my Soppressata turned out well from a slaughtered hog so I tried coppa. Coppa requires stuffing larger chunks of meat into a casing. This inherently lead to my problem when I tested it...moldy pockets between meat chunks that got green and fuzzy. The rest of it was fine and you could cut it...

    Suggested Hog Cuts

    I'm prepping to butcher my first hog in the early spring. My buddy's raising a Tamsworth/Berkshire cross. Are there any "must have" cuts I should specially prepare for charcuterie? I'm going to butcher chops, side, cheeks, trotters, etc the usual. One whole cut I want to do is one of the hams...

    Rec Tec or Grilla?

    Hmm I'll email Grilla about this then. I've only gone through maybe 1 20# bag.

    Rec Tec or Grilla?

    OK I spoke too soon haha! I just fought for 30 mintues trying to figure out why my temps were dropping more and more and more to 125. I eventually shut it off, took everything out and found the pellet box overloaded with pellets. Took a meat fork and stirred it around and scooped a bunch out...

    Rec Tec or Grilla?

    I figured I'd give y'all an update. I did get it in May like I was told. I've used it now 5 or so times for both grilling and smoking.  First smoke, I rushed the chicken so it wasn't too smoky as I did it at 250. Since then, brisket, chicken, and pork has been done at 225 and came out great. I...

    dry aging rib roast

    Alright, day 30. I trimmed out one of them and had a surprisingly low wastage rate. I think this was because of the huge fat cap and chine bones.  So it made 7 huge cowboy steaks (2.5" thick), some scrap flaps of meat, unsure of what actual cut it is (will be used for tacos or something)...

    Rec Tec or Grilla?

    I've seen nothing but great feedback from owners of the Grilla. They're backordered until the end of April (another proof of success). I just placed an order for it. Now I have to sell my current smoker and grill.

    Grilla Silverbac

    You haven't had the need to add a downdraft hood like some of the other barrel smokers?

    Rec Tec or Grilla?

    Price really. I don't want a traeger and I don't want to spend over 700 since it's not a "necessity" for me to switch, it's a "want". The only one I'd consider over this would be the Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro since it has a nice controller, space, construction, and reputation. I don't require the...

    Rec Tec or Grilla?

    I have a line on a used Rec Tec 680 for 700 bucks. Today while researching stuff I came across Grilla grills. Their Silverbac is comparable in size, but its 700 brand new with free shipping.  Either way, I'll have to buy a cover and grill grates for searing. I know that people who have rec tecs...
