    old posts

    Does anyone know if the old posts will be returned to each forum?? There was a lot of info in them that would be a shame to waste. Maybe this has been addressed elsewhere.....If so I apologize for being "dumb"

    new build

    I just found an old refrigerator that I want to convert into an electric smoker. My plan is to use a oven-type thermostat to control an electric heating element. To "make smoke" I want to use a smoke generator that I saw in another post. My question is where do I find a reasonably priced...

    Wieners, Frankfurters, Hot Dogs

    I think what is being referred to here is a skinless weiner like you get pre-packaged in stores. Hormel and Ballpark comes to mind. The process for these are they are stuffed in a "plastic type" casing by a machine which handles the whole process of stuffing, twisting etc. The product then goes...

    a little blonde construction humor

    Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double-pane energy-efficient kind. Yesterday, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the windows had been installed a whole year ago and I hadn't paid for them yet. Now just because I'm...

    Deer Jerky Marinade and your thoughts Please

    I have a similar recipe and also use a dehydrater. My recipe calls for prague powder for the cure. Wouldn't that cure the product without adding saltiness to it?

    Prison or work

    Don't know if this has been here before but thought it was "right-on" Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this comparison chart should make things a little bit clearer: @ PRISON You spend most of your time in a 10X10 cell WORK You spend most of your time in a 6X6...

    How long can beef jerky stay warm after vaccum sealed??

    A year ago a friend of my sons was in Iraq and I sent him a "care package" that include my beef jerky. I vacuum sealed a half dozen in each pouch and had no problem. My recipe has prague powder in it for the marinade. I probably shouldn't say this on this site but, I didn't smoke it, I...

    The watch

    A Wyoming cowboy walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance then causally looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, 'Is your date running late?' No', he replies, 'I just got this state-of the-art watch, and I was just...

    A little BBQ humor...

    We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved. When a man volunteers to...

    One for the ladies...Eves' side of the story

    After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. 'So, how is everything going?' inquired God. 'It is all so beautiful, God,' she replied. 'The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem. It's these...

    Feral Cats

    I'm guessing that the cat that came up to you was someones "Tabby" that they no longer wanted and just conveniently dropped off in your "neighborhood", because a true feral cat won't get close to you on purpose. Also they smell just about as bad as a skunk. I found this out by leg-hold trapping...

    The madam opened the brothel door and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late 40s or early 50's. "May I help you?" she asked. I want to see Valerie," the man replied. "Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else," said...
