    Burger Meat - Sams Chuck Brisket Burgers

    GB too expensive? Brat burgers to the rescue! Then there's pizza burgers using italian mix. 50/50 beef: pork is KILLER for sloppy joes.

    German in South Carolina

    Welcome! @Parmaster32 NICE STUFF! I am TOTALLY into the german stuff as well as the italian. Looks forward to your posts. Not sure if you are aware or not but there is a TON of german culture up here in the North.

    Question about Bacon cure recipe?

    Math looks good to me and yes, it does not look like much and kinda shocking how little cure is needed. FYI 1lb=454g. Maybe since I am a car guy that clicked with me and made the transition to metric a snap.

    Chicken leg 1/4's . Deboned and stuffed .

    Think I can envision this but doubt it will work for me LOL Next time try and get one of the kids to do a short video for us. That is easily the cleanest looking deboning I've seen. Seems like it would be fast. Oh yeah! Mini turducken roll sorta.

    Chicken leg 1/4's . Deboned and stuffed .

    Looks great! I've deboned a few dozen thighs and never really got good pattern down. Your method is MUCH different than any I've seen. Totally love legs/skin in sausage... Method close to this?

    Pickled Tomatoes

    Been pickling all sorts of stuff for last year and have stuff nearly a year old and no mush. Only mush so far were 2 jars I processed. NOPE. These are fridge pickles only. CaCl works well on these BTW. Won't lie my kraut turned out so well I want to try lacto on these.

    Pickled Tomatoes

    I think it takes like 90 days or longer for best quality but 1 month is decent. Not joking, a chamber sealer would fix that. I am not grabbing one until someone confirms but apparently the pressure is so high it instantly pickles. Anyhow, the key to not rushing is to make more. Old...

    Pickled Tomatoes

    Been playing with my grandfathers pickled green tomato recipe off and on. It's fantastic but salty AF (and I like salty stuff). It's weird, whatever I change does not work well. Anyhow, for me small roma are best and 2nd would say medium size beefsteak type cut cup. No idea why but cherry do...

    Any Freemasons Here?

    I've had the hint to join dropped on me a few times. I was told a long time that Catholics cannot be FM (and we drink more than them) :emoji_laughing: See if you notice something in our City Plat.

    Spicy vinegar

    I need to try this! I have been looking for an excuse to play with SV extraction. I want to try making some german style herb vinegar and may be vanilla (pickled eggs?). Anyhow some found some REALLY good info on Reddit to pass along if anyone into the SV idea. SNIP Hi! I have some...

    Electric Smoker Temperature Controller

    I have the Auber wifi. It was a little wonky with my old router but (knocks wood) much better with the new one. Still little weird to setup and not perfect. They run a 10 or 20% off special around TG so there's that. If money tight, grab a used on FB. I went up to 40 stainless with window...

    Tips for crock pot reheating pulled pork

    Yeah, would agree. I never had a sauce like that before. I was BLOWN AWAY to find out JJ's sauce was about the exact one I had down there. Hush puppies with smoked food was mind blowing too. Oh yeah the tea is SWEEEEET! :emoji_laughing:

    Tips for crock pot reheating pulled pork

    NC = North Carolina which is it's considered the best. Bring a small fry daddy and do hushpuppies. That's the classic side in NC. Crazy good together. You dip the puppy in JJ's sauce. Smell of those deep frying is INSANE and would definitely grab attention.

    Tips for crock pot reheating pulled pork

    Crock is too slow and too hot for my liking but we do not have the fancy temp control models. InstaPot would be what I would use. 140F. Apple juice is good for a little moisture but take it easy. A little more than 1T say 1/4C. Good call no sauce. I HATE PP swimming in sauce that ends up...

    Using pure Sodium Nitrate for DIY #2 curing salt

    Not kidding will meet anyone for anything in Detroit/Windsor. Short drive for me. IIRC CA does not allow sausage fermenting cultures up there either. EDIT. Forgot to mention I LOVE Canadian bier! :emoji_laughing:

    Help a first timer

    ^ Very good info @normanaj . I would HIGHLY suggest finding a used MES on FB Marketplace. They're like $50. Set and forget temps. Use the chips you got if you want but would still recommend the tube and pellets as it will give you TBS for like 4-5hrs. If dead set on gasser, pick a day to...

    Quick Chicken Tacos

    Funny you mention that I was gonna give you the "sometimes less is more" speech. You got a lot going on there. Some people into that but not me. Had some chicken tacos on vacay that were the best ever and still working on replicating it. Main thing for sure was shredded cabbage. Chicken...
