    Camp Chef Discount for Veteran's

    That's good on Camp Chef. For those of you who are currently serving or retired military be careful when vendors ask for a copy of you ID card to grant a discount. Aside from governmental purposes or to verify and process claims for medical care not provided by the military it is a federal...

    Howdy from NC

    Hello Foxman and welcome from the thriving metropolis of Pinnacle, North Carolina. We can't be all that far apart. I'm 25 minutes north of downtown Winston-Salem. Maybe we can get together sometime and toss some critter parts in a smoker. Or make some sausage. Or get some meat started...

    Need recipe for pressure canning Dove and Quail

    You could look at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Website: http://www.wildharvesttable.com/2020/03/25/venison-meatloaf-comfort-food/ And the Georgia Cooperative Extension publishes a great book by the name of "So Easy to Preserve" that has info on all kinds of food preservation and includes...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    Bill, I don't think anyone is talking down about any brand of pressure canner/cooker as much as posting up what they use. We have the 921 AA 21-15 qt canner and a 10 quart Zavor (Fagor) Duo pressure cooker/canner. If I hadn't bought the AA canner used for about 35-40% of new I likely wouldn't...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    I was never stationed at Drum but in 10 years active duty and 19 more in the NY Army National Guard (with much of that active duty) I spent a lot of time at Drum. In the 1984/5 time frame as the transition to Fort Drum from Camp Drum was happening and all the directorates were expanding I...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    Ahh. We had a farm outside Auburn for 20 years until we "retired" to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in mid 2016. We still have two sons and my brother in the Scipio/Auburn/Weedsport area. When we get up there it will be split between the Buffalo area and the Auburn area so from...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    Bill, where in Upstate NY are you? Nancy and I grew up outside Buffalo (Amherst and Elma), had a CNY farm for years and are now retired to our place in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC. But I may have an extra All American No.7 All American canner (Same as the model 915 at 15.5...

    Looking to Make Pastrami

    Ahh, I'm a little north of Winston-Salem, NC so we're 6+ hours apart. If we were closer and we could do it safely I'd have offered to grab a couple of briskets from the local Restaurant Depot and walk you through what I do. Still, it's pretty straightforward and I'm sure that you'll make great...

    Looking to Make Pastrami

    It's always interesting how so many folks can use so many routes to get to the same place. I inject cure into the brisket, AKA "spray pumping", with an injection syringe and then submerge it in brine. I spray pump as I feel it makes for more consistent brining and usually just use a water...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    I have a lot of pipe nipples on hand and gave that some thought but that wasn't going to work well here due to the slope of the ramp, needing to control the sheet to keep it from tipping and then raising it up onto the cart off pipe rollers. The rigging I used kept the leading corner above the...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Thanks, seenred I'll look into them. The auction was an online auction and I had made an appointment to inspect the lots I was interested in a few days before the sale. When things closed I bought a good used pallet jack to replace my tired one, a 10' twin step Type 1AA step ladder and a...

    Firebox design questions

    Thanks, Dave. I hope that you are well. But that's not what I'm asking. Does the calculation for firebox volume assume the entire firebox including any volume given to the grate and under the grate or does the calculation only include the volume above the grate for best performance? For...

    Firebox design questions

    Hello All Sooo....does the computed firebox volume apply to all the firebox including any volume taken up under the fire grate or by the fire grate self (think bar grate here)? Or does it include only what is above the fire grate? And am I correct that if I am up-sizing the firebox volume for...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Chopsaw, you sure have that right. Metal cutting saws can be real screamers. My experience with metal cutting saws is that carelessly shock loading the teeth by starting a cut too aggressively or forcing the saw as opposed to letting it cut freely are both quick paths to buying blades a lot...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Most of the used plasma cutters that pop up here either look like they got air dropped sans parachutes or the sellers think they should get close to high retail pricing for them. In some cases they must have bought them dumb as they fairly often pop up at over normal street prices. For most of...
