    Looking for Amazing Kansas City BBQ Locations

    Thanks for the info! Next year if I end up back in KC I'll check them out. It all depends on what the travel schedule turns into. I think I may end up in Missouri again and in an area further from St. Louis so not sure BBQ will be too much of an option, but I'll sure try some things :D

    Grinding deer meat, die size?

    I do 20% fat where 1 pound is fat and 4 pounds is meat making a total of 5 pounds. This means 1 out of 5 is fat (1/5) which, 1/5 = 20% This is my go-to ration because it flat out works well for every sausage, burger, meatloaf, taco, spaghetti, etc. application I make. Also, the math is super...

    2025 Hunting Trip Done w/ Animal Pics

    Yeah Barnes for me. I tried the Horandy GMX and have been suckered into overrun discounts on them but don't shoot for crap with how finnicky they are. I read that their secent ogive shape is the reason and man are they difficult to whip into shape with a load. At least that's been my...

    Mexican Menudo Soup (Pressure Cooker)

    Damn these 1st world problems :D You did the right thing and the beef tacos will be good! I'm sure the crab will be fantastic as well. Enjoy all the food and the menudo to come! I would try about 3 pounds of pork butt. The tripe and pigs feet are full of water and things that break down to...

    Grinding deer meat, die size?

    I do 1 grind with 3/8 plate. I also grind the fat I use (beef brisket fat or pork backfat) with this plate. Also, also, when making sausage from pork butts or brisket meat still use this plate, it's pretty much my go to. Why 3/8? The grind is big enough for burger and sausage making while not...

    Talk, to, me about Insta pots, please.

    I bought my mother one about 10 years ago and they are awesome! Though a pressure cooker/canner and an Instant Pot are 2 different animals. For one the size of most pressure cooker/canners is usually pretty big vs the 6qt IP being much smaller. Ease of use, the IP is easier for cooking since...

    2025 Hunting Trip Done w/ Animal Pics

    Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! This year I am using a new Savage 110 in 30-06 that I rebarreled with a Shilen bull barrel. I channeled out the fore end and steel bedded action of the already pillar bedded Hogue stock that came with the Savage 110 I bought. I figured I had nothing to lose...

    Talk, to, me about Insta pots, please.

    My 3rd most viewed post ever is an instant pot recipe for authentic Menudo Soup hahaha. The instant pot speeds things along greatly but it's still the same good ol recipe you would use without the instant pot if you wanted to spend the time. I figured it might be up your alley :D...

    2025 Hunting Trip Done w/ Animal Pics

    Took my yearly meat hunting trip and only went after 2 animals this year. I bagged 2 large does (large for my area) that were maybe 100-110lbs. My brother bagged 1 doe and 1 spike. Normally I get more animals but my freezers are quite packed so this is what I was happy bagging to fill them...

    Talk, to, me about Insta pots, please.

    You won't go wrong with the 6qt Instapot Duo if that is what it is. You can do a whole chicken in it. Also, I have made yogurt in mine in addition to other things. I'm not a major yogurt fan but I have to say I made the best yogurt I've ever eaten in it hahaha. It does a ton of things, I hope...

    Snack Stick Beef/Pork?

    As suggested, going all pork will be the ticket on saving money and it will taste great! If you do want to mix you can basically go any ratio you want depending on if you want more beefy flavor or not. 50/50 is great and I've even mixed 80/20 where the 20% was strickly pork fat and it is...

    Pork fat-back freezer life

    I've had vac sealed last for 3 years and use it. I've also had not vac sealed go bad, where bad means the flavor was not good. It doesn't spoil in a way to make you sick it just degrades in flavor and texture and mine was more like a soap or chemical taste on the bad batch. The way I test is...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    Hi there and welcome! It sounds like troubleshooting time. Have you simply plugged into the wall, by itself (nothing else plugged in) the new cord that goes directly to the heating element? This would eliminate everything else and the element should just heat up on it's own uncontrolled. If...

    First Ground Beef Jerky in Dehydrator

    Heads up, resist the urge to cut the grated mats so that they fit better. I've read that those mats may contain materials like fiberglass that are not good to be exposed to our food. Eating some of that would be a bad day :D
