    First Batch With My Stuffer

    Yep, I have the same. You will love it. After a few times of making sausage I was thinking I should have gone bigger. But I realized that I only make it from Fall to Spring and just a few batches. If you started out with the stuffing attachment for a grinder and then went to this you will...

    First Batch With My Stuffer

    Great looking first batch. I'm sure they tasted as good or better then they looked. 2yrs ago I got into sausage making. First batch of Italian Sausage I put together kind of threw me for a loop. I copied a recipe from somewhere into my sausage making log. Mixed everything up, stuffed it...

    Should I Cancel or should I not.... MEAT Your Maker Disaster.....

    MYM experience. Last year I decided to pull the trigger on the 1 hp grinder. They had a sale that just started that day. It was "in stock" when I went to order it. After it was in my cart, it was out of stock and not available for purchase, but still on the web page for the "sale" price. My...

    Found a Dimond in the rough? or a lump of coal?

    Thanks John, I had no idea. I only heard the word charcuterie being used describing a board or plate with cuts of meat and cheese, maybe some fruit and crackers on display.

    JC, what did you mean by a charcuterie cabinet? I've heard of a charcuterie board.

    Found a Dimond in the rough? or a lump of coal?

    I see not using the original lining due to it being plastic. What if I lined the interior with wood? It would be a stand up wood lined chest for cold smoking.

    Found a Dimond in the rough? or a lump of coal?

    I saw this at the side of the road for trash pickup. It was real early so I didn't want to bother the homeowners to get the story why it's being tossed out. My immediate thought is to make it into a cold smoker. Please look at the pics and let me know what will be the best decision in moving...

    Payment for cutting wood

    Well folks, I'm sorry to report that this rib cook was a COMPLETE failure. I started the grill today around 12/12:15. Let her burn down for about an hour. In the meantime I trimmed up 4 slabs of spare ribs. SPG them all over and placed them on the grill. Had a pan of water on lower rack...

    Smoked Braided Pork Loin with Peach Glaze

    Schlotz, type in Braided Pork Loin in the search. milkman55 has a post from March 4th, 2023. That's where I got the recipe. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/braided-pork-loin-peach-glaze.320253/ Don't know if that link will work. Not the most computer savvy person around. Good Luck

    Payment for cutting wood

    My son and his roommate helped me cut up some downed maple trees at my uncles today. I'll be using these splits for my pit along with Ash and some store bought Hickory. I said to pay them for their work, stop by at 5:00 and I'll have some ribs done. I trimmed and seasoned up 4 large slabs of...

    Smoked Braided Pork Loin with Peach Glaze

    Thanks guys... It is true, loins can be tricky due to the lack of internal fat. That ole saying is perfect for pork. "Low and Slow". Can't rush it.

    Smoked Braided Pork Loin with Peach Glaze

    I ran across the post from Milkman55 of when he did a braided pork loin with a peach glaze. My mouth started watering right away. I figured I would treat my wife to an "unusual" smoked dinner for our anniversary. Even though it was Saturday and I didn't get to do it until today, oh well. I...

    Grilled up some Pork Steak tonight.

    No clue, I never stabbed them with a thermometer before pulling them because they were on so long. I was afraid they were going to be all dried out for being on the grill for so long. I kept them at the far end of the grill before deciding to bring them in. I never flipped them over the hot...

    Grilled up some Pork Steak tonight.

    I'm not blaming her for being late. She is usually done at 7:00 and home by 7:20. Sometimes she runs late. A person can only keep meat on a grill for so long. At 7:45 I made the executive decision to pull them off the grill and enjoy them. She was lucky she came home when she did. I could...

    Grilled up some Pork Steak tonight.

    Weather was holding out, no rain and cooling off a bit. Decided to fire up Ole Black Betty. Threw some charcoal in the main chamber with half a split of hickory. When she was hot, I tossed on some spiced potatoes and onions in foil packs. While those cooked for a bit, I cut up some...
