    New-to-me Gander Mountain 15 lb stuffer. EDIT: It's not a Cabela's stuffer.....

    Happily, no. What was on the can and piston did seem to be partly vegetable oil residue and partly just not thorough enough cleaning. Even the outside of the can was smudged and tacky and needed a good bit of scrubbing to clean up. I have spray silicone and food safe silicone grease for the...

    (Sweet) Italian Sausage

    I'm not near my recipe logbook to offer a hard number but agree that the recipe stated in the OP is low on fennel. And add me to the crew that uses fennel and (usually) some anise. I don't remember using caraway in Italian sausage but it's at least a year since I made any so that could just be...

    New-to-me Gander Mountain 15 lb stuffer. EDIT: It's not a Cabela's stuffer.....

    I've used a 5 lb LEM stuffer for years and lately I've been checking Marketplace and craigslist off and on for a bigger stuffer. Today I spotted a newly listed 15 lb Cabelas Gander Mountain stuffer and bought it for around 1/3 of the current cost of a new basic 15 lb LEM stuffer. It came with...

    New Toy to Play with....Bowl Chopper!

    Good morning, Tim and welcome to the site. The 8141 is a heavy beast with a lot of heavy cast iron (cast steel?) parts and generally has a tinned cast iron bowl. The cataloged net weight of the machine is 178 pounds so it you won't have the option for carrying it up stairs. If you remove the...

    Expanded Metal For Grates

    I'll order a couple of local piglets. If you start paddling now they'll be ready to butcher about the time you get here. We'll pick you up at the coast and start the foodie journey back here to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with a Down East clambake on the shore. @boykjo and some...

    Expanded Metal For Grates

    What @boykjo said. 3/4"#9 flat expanded metal is pretty standard and will generally be available at any steel supply house. It won't break the bank and will hold up a good long while. Where are you? A location makes helping out with suggestions and advice a lot easier. Someone may know of a...

    Where to get jumbo dino beef ribs?

    We did several years ago. We're in Pinnacle, NC right next to Pilot Mountain State Park. Where are you? We're maybe a little far for MileHighSmokerGirl to join us but I have a lot of beef ribs, ribeye steaks and roasts and other goodies in the freezer. @MileHighSmokerGirl, beef ribs are...

    Where to get jumbo dino beef ribs?

    There's a Restaurant Depot in Denver. Restaurant Depot plate ribs are packed four rib pieces in a cryovac package that will weigh around 20 pounds so you'll need to dig deep for a package. But the plus side is that you'll have three more racks in the freezer..... We go camping or backpacking...

    Hey guys, my name is Jimmy I’m from Texas, I retired and moved to North Carolina.

    We can make something like that happen. I can bring either a small smoker or a Weber kettle and we can toss some critter parts into the smoke for dinner..... There are some really nice waterfront and water view campsites at Parkers Creek Loop 2. This was our first trip there and won't be our...

    We're a half hour north of downtown Winston-Salem near Pilot Mountain State Park. We were camping early last month not too far from you at Parkers Creek campground on Jordan Lake.

    Slicers w Sharpeners

    Just be aware that if the sharpener has a second stone that contacts the outer surface of the blade (the side the food is on) it is only there to remove any slight wire burr that may roll over to the front side of the blade when taking a fairly heavy cut in sharpening the blade. It should be...

    Baby Backs Hung Vertically

    I have several bacon hangers from back when you could buy bellies for less than bacon. They come in different widths and work pretty well for hanging rib racks.
