    Electric Smoker Temperature Controller

    Amazon sells a digital temp controller that might work. It is not PID but says it will control within 1 degree...

    Sealing Cooking Chamber...

    I would add that, as a concern, having a well sealed firebox is far more important than having a sealed cook chamber. The firebox sealing determines your air and fire control while the cook chamber sealing satisfies your OCD.

    Brisket Price?

    Back at the start of Covid I went by the local meat market one day and they had the worst looking brisket I've ever seen. Kinda shaped like a gigantic tritip.:emoji_dizzy_face: The price was $13.49 a pound!:emoji_disappointed: At least things seem to have gotten better.

    Looking to get a food processor

    Possibly the best food processors are the Magimix brand made by Robot Coupe in France. They are the original food processors and have a 30 Year guarantee on the motor with a lesser warranty on the plastic bowls and the like. They have a refurb program which gives you a full factory warranty...

    Alternative Sweeteners for Sausage?

    OP, you might look at Allulose as a sweetener for your needs. I've seen it recommended by Keto and diabetic diet types. It's available as in a powdered form and as a liquid.

    Alternative Sweeteners for Sausage?

    Any artificial sweetener with maltodextrin in it is said to raise blood sugar. This includes Equal, which my diabetic mother used for years, and the doctor kept after her because of her A1C levels. Yet the doc's and dieticians kept saying Equal is fine for diabetics.:emoji_angry:

    What am i making? Revealed

    I had thought it looked like cream cheese and sugar creamed together but mine is always done with regular hand mixer beaters and looks a bit different because of that when making Mexican Cheesecake/Cheesecake Chimichanga. Just couldn't commit to posting.

    Sealing Cooking Chamber...

    My OK Joe Longhorn leaked some when I first got it. I spent a few weekends with a Big Freakin' Hammer beating the sealing strap around the inside of the cook chamber opening into and out of the chamber depending on which way it needed to be bent. I got mine down to the point it only showed a...

    Rice and Gravy, Louisiana style

    Looks great! Love that stuff. Mom was from Louisiana so I grew up eatin' such stuff, and still do. Next time try putting some Better Than Bouillon, Tone's, or Minor's soup base in for part of your salt ration. Fortify the stock you're using. :emoji_wink: Plain ole bouillon will work too if'n...

    Doing a brisket tomorrow-wish me luck!

    I used to cook at 250 on my old offset 'cause it ran so well there. Then I discovered briskets cooked so much faster and tasted as good or better at 325. Only thing is you might have to take it to a bit higher finishing temp to get probe tender. I had 'em go up near 210 with a high temp cook.

    Strong coffee

    I remember those high ratings but ya have to be careful with octane ratings. They're kinda like the difference in gross and net horsepower ratings. There are at least three ratings for motor vehicles. There is the Research Octane Number, the Motor Octane Number and what is currently shown at...

    Strong coffee

    I may have even better examples. Back when I was a kid you used to see Ice Milk for sale at the grocery. It was a cheaper, and less tasty, alternative to ice cream. When low fat became the craze ice milk disappeared. After a time period for everyone to kinda forget about ice milk, Low-Fat Ice...

    Cocktails Thread

    A drink for summertime weekends at the lake. We called them Lemon Surprises. Equal parts of Barcardi Limon, Collins mix, and Club soda. Serve over ice. Tastes like good lemonade. Dangerous.

    Steak ranchero t-bones round 2

    Had to go grab a copy and paste off a menu to talk about the steak. While it's unusual for find all these steaks on one menu several of the following are common entrees at the Mexican restaurants around Arkansas. One place I used to eat at served steak tampiqueno, except cooked what is...

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    Abigail, if you are trying to go gluten free with your gumbo I have no suggestion, but to lower the glycemic index try it with whole wheat flour. There is nothing I am aware of that will give you that toasted nutty flavor like a flour roux. Roux isn't just for thickening ya know. If fact a...

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    I looked at your tasso link earlier today. The link inside your link to the tasso recipe was broken when I tried it.

    Steak ranchero t-bones round 2

    With our open borders, Arkansas is flush with Mexicans and many like to run eateries and work as cooks. A friend ran a bar. Bars in Arkansas that serve liquor, as opposed to beer/wine only bars, have to serve real food, not just bar munchies. He had a Mexican cook who I watched make Mexican...
