    Smoking tube questions

    You can dump out the pellets onto a metal tray or pan and separate the burnin pellets from the non burning pellets. I usually just let mine continue to burn and burn itself out.

    Re-using lids?

    Not always. They are sealed if you can’t take the lid off by hand. Another option is to by reusable mason jar lids. They are plastic but they hold up to the heat. I have been using them in the Sous vide for several days eats now with zero issues.

    Upside down blueberry polenta cake

    Basically. Polenta is a courser grind though. So texture wise it is different.

    Excess Grease on Cast Iron Griddle Topper

    Dab it up with paper towels or a rag. Or set it up so you have some slope and put a grease trap at the other end.

    What medium size griddle to buy??

    You don’t have to use them weekly. Just like cast iron if they are well seasoned and stored properly rust is not an issue.

    What medium size griddle to buy??

    The latches make moving it around way easier. I have the quick connect hose. Works great. We use ours at home and camping. I put it on a rolling tool cart that I can load in and out of my converted cargo trailer camper. Leveling it can be a pain sometimes though as we don’t camp in campgrounds.

    What medium size griddle to buy??

    Really like my 22”. Wish I’d got the table for it before they discontinued it. I have the lid and it’s a must hve in my opinion. I put latches on the lid so I can carry it like a suit case.

    Ham help needed

    The stream in the package creates the air. Yes you need to weigh it down so the meat is submerged. Also it’s not recommended to cook in the original packaging.
