Jax,
You are being too modest...I re-did the links (don't know why a global one won't work), and you turn out some amazing stuff. Besides, having a lang says you are serious by default! You are more than ready.
One time I did some wild rice stuffed peppers that were pretty frickin' amazing...use a whole grain / wild rice and whore that up with toasted almonds, tomatoes, broth, etc. Stuff that in some peppers and I coated with some cheese to melt and keep everything in...This could easily be a filling...
Man...That is a sweet looking setup, not to mention the grub! Love that wok idea. That is just awesome.
I get so many great ideas from this place...sometimes I just walk away shaking my head wondering why I didn't think of that, and this post is one of those moments...
I will also try the...
I love the fruit woods...Apple, and Cherry. I also like pecan a lot, and will then make mixes of the above three. I want to get my hands on some peach wood this year.
I don't like mesquite, unless I throw a chunk on the grill beside a burger or steak. Not a good smoking wood IMHO.
I'm sure the Dude would throw in a second on SCPatterson, but I think he is still waiting on his Gen-U-Wine Singapore Hello Kitty Scooter (don't worry Dude, I'm sure it is probably stuck in customs)! Congrats to all of the new nominees...well deserved on every account.
Some times you run...
Since you will be grinding your own, this is what I suggest...
I always remove the fat cap from my butts. I do this for many reasons but the most prominent are that smoke won't penetrate to the meaty portion that I actually want smoke to penetrate, and I love the bark / smoke ring and get this...
I have never smoked cheese, but this last weekend I had some free time and decided that I might give it a go. I bought something cheap to experiment with, and I happen to like smoked mozzarella anyway. I don’t have a smoke generator (I plan to build one…stay tuned for that) so I will be using...
Hey Todd,
I don't profess to being a good gardner, but I do have a short story to tell.
In the past I have failed as a gardner, after having raised beds, irrigation system, yada, yada, yada...I couldn't even grow tomatoes which I categorize as a fruit bearing weed. My corn was looking perfect...
Hey Todd,
Looks great! Definitely like the idea of running the squash through the smoker too. I thought your design looked pretty cool...kinda like a dragon or something like that...that is what you were going for, right? LOL
You can tell when you have a professional bartender when you...

I only caught the show once in a while...While I sincerely appreciated the mechanical elements and manufacturing process, I could really do without all of...
Hey Geert,
Website looks good...I don't mean to hijack your thread, but is this your charcoal? It looks like it is formed into a square...is this dutch briquettes?
The membership is worth it if you will use it for necessities...
I use Costco, but it also applies to Sams. I drink a lot of milk, and I save the cost of the membership on milk purchases alone. It is more than a buck cheaper for a gallon as opposed to the grocery store. Then there are the...
Take a look at the link I posted...HW says this about a #32...
I suspect you need an NCAA Division 1 lineman to operate the crank on a #32 if you are trying to push the first grind of meat through a 3/16" plate.
and this quote..."A #32 is about half again larger than the #22. It is a beast...
Hey Bill,
Check out this link from the Hog Warden...It has one of the best comparisons of hand crank grinders that I have ever seen...starting a couple pages back.

I consider the information from Hog Warden solid gold...he knows of what he...
The reason that you have the hole in the center of the sausage is so you can use it as a straw to drink your beer!
Seriously, what's better than beer and sausage?
