    Why Durum Flour is perfect for pasta

    @indaswamp , that's a good video. We make a good bit of pizza dough and bread dough with about 1/3 semolina flour As you likely know, semolina flour can be hard to find. At places like US Foods Chef'Store, Restaurant Depot or other food service stores you can usually find 50 pound bags of...

    Alcohol might have been involved

    Publix will quite likely have that sale going again this week due to New Years Day coming up. At least here in the Winston-Salem area they'll give you a whole rib section at that price if you ask. Or anything up to the whole rib section. The whole section is 7 bones and usually they are...

    Piwo

    We sold our farm in Sennett, outside Auburn, NY 6-1/2 years ago and moved full-time to our North Carolina place. Our farm was right next to Elderberry Pond, the organic farm and restaurant in Sennett so we ate there often but one of the places we'd go to in the Syracuse area was Eva's European...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    I have been known to hide my mistakes, too. It usually involves a dark night, a secluded spot and a backhoe, though.... At two hours away, I'd see if they'll deliver it.

    Making up for lost time

    Looking good! I would note that BBQ pork freezes and reheats wonderfully and you could smoke a full rack and then freeze half to have quick BBQ fix later. We often do that and after thawing it we warm it back up in the microwave and toss the heated ribs on the grill for a minute or two on each...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    First, I confess that for some reason I missed the word "inside" in your thread title and was thinking of the outside of your smoker when I commented on scratches. If my brain cell hadn't spaced out on the word "inside" my advice would have been the same as his; oil the mill scale and forget...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    Thicker hot rolled steel takes longer to cool than thinner steel and develops a thicker, harder scale than thinner sections do so the examples of cleaning thin wall tubing shown are not the same as you have to deal with. What you have is going to be thicker and harder and you have a lot larger...

    Still remember the old BBQ list days when 9600 baud was fast

    Why I remember my first mastodon brisket. It took two days and a cord and a half of wood to get past the stall..... And would I be dating myself to note that my first computer language experiences included the then new languages of FORTRAN and COBOL? Or that about 14 years later the first...

    Who still has one?

    I spent 29 years as an Army infantryman with the first 7-8 year s spent eating C-Rats. Some of my earliest tactical training memories are of stripping out the C-Rat stuff you weren't going to use and stacking the cans in a tightly tied off spare sock during you pre-combat checks so that they...

    @tx smoker , what is CPB?

    Felt like some steakums!

    We find that the "chopped and formed" sandwich steaks can indeed taste a bit off and generally lack any distinct beefiness. And many, if not all brands, have a lot of water that cooks out of them so we pay premium prices for water added to the product. Once or twice a year I buy the least...

    ThermoPop for Hawaii $12.60 all proceeds to feed Hawaii!!

    It's good to see Thermoworks step up like this. They raised over $200,000 for the World Central Kitchen to help feed folks in Hawaii.

    Hello from Long Island NY

    Welcome from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pinnacle, NC. I was around 8-9 YO when we moved from Queens to a suburb of Buffalo. We used to spend literally the entire summer at Wildwood State Park a bit further out on the island. We "retired" ad sold our NY farm six years ago and...

    USDA minimum Corn Dog size?

    What goes into hot dogs varies a lot by who the maker is. Some, like Hofmann in Syracuse use only whole muscle beef, pork or veal in their German Brand and Snappy Grillers. Anytime you see the words "mechanically separated" you know that the last itty-bitty fragments of flesh were separated...

    Safety Question

    There is no safety issue with what you describe. There may be a slight quality issue as when we freeze meat the water turns into ice crystals and the ice crystals act like tiny knives to damage cell walls. Then, upon thawing the meat, you'll loose more moisture than might otherwise have been...

    Rf Plate questions

    It isn't accurate to say that any particular diameter will flow better than any other diameter. Airflow in any particular pit is a symbiotic function of firebox size and layout, fire grate placement, vent size and placement, cook chamber shape, exhaust stack design and placement, the quality...
