    Recommend Outdoor Propane Fryer?

    I at one time had a floor fryer and it was great. I just can’t justify one anymore, I recently bought one of the masterbuilt turkey fryers to do wings and onions and fries.

    Used Smoker

    Rain suit and pressure washer, then soapy water or degreaser and pressure wash again would be quickest.

    new knife sharpener for touch ups

    I have a work sharp and a hoard of bench stones. I have and exclusively now use the diamond and ceramic v rod sharpeners from AG Russell. I discovered that for the most part I was way more concerned about sharpness of knives than anyone else I associate with. I use a steel and then a leather...

    What say you to chicken livers?

    I like to wrap chicken livers in bacon and grill them, you can brush lightly with bbq sauce for the last couple of minutes. I use the thinnest bacon I can find so that it’s done when the livers are done. Gizzards I put in the instant pot for 35-40 minutes. Then dip them out and cool in a bowl of...

    rub recipe curing canadian bacon

    https://www.mortonsalt.com/article/meat-curing-canadian-bacon/ I’m genuinely curious about why you wouldn’t use TQ for meats that will be fried. I’m learning daily and trying to get better results when I have time to devote to curing.

    Why would you not use tender quick and then fry? The Morton recipe for canadian bacon specifically says to fry.

    old fashioned fire starter.

    I actually use one of those with a chimney, I put a couple of layers of briquettes or lump in and then stick the electric starter in and fill with whichever I’m using. About 5-10 minutes and pull the electric and let the charcoal finish lighting off. I’ve never had any luck using a chimney with...

    Weston meat grinders Pro vs Butcher series ??

    I have the pro series #8 and have been very satisfied, I bought the cuber attachment and use it several times a year. Using the grinder is a pleasure. I have no complaints about it at all.

    CPAP Advice

    I started using cpap about 2 weeks ago and the machine I have is the Luna II. I haven’t had a problem with the machine at all. It starts at 4 and then increases over 15 minutes to 10 which is thankfully all the pressure I needed. The ramp time is adjustable and the heat/humidifier is also.

    Successful fried turkey, but I have questions

    I used just a touch under 4 gallons of oil for mine, dropped the turkey at 375 and had to turn the burner down 3 times to keep from going over 350f while ours was cooking. I have a “turkey fryer burner” and can’t remember who made it. One thing to check with an adjustable regulator is that it is...

    Sous vide in cryopac

    I have also done a couple of those and they came out great. A buddy of mine told me that he does them and he’s done quite a few, I tried it after he told me.

    What medium size griddle to buy??

    I have the Blackstone Adventure ready 22” and it came with a stand. The stand is functional but not quite as stable as I would like. I bought mine at Walmart and use it several times a month.

    grinder horse power

    I own the Weston pro series #8. It runs on a regular outlet and is rated at 4-6 lbs a minute 3/4hp. I have done 50+ lbs several times and honestly it takes longer to clean up than grind. I also bought a foot pedal and it is worth the investment in my opinion.

    Road trip recommendations needed (AL,MS)

    I would recommend that you alter your route and go through Decatur Alabama and stop at Big Bob Gibson bbq. If you get toward Tupelo don’t miss CHOP, Clays House of Pork. They have a phenomenal beef brisket and I’m normally not impressed with Brisket. Tuscaloosa area: Archibald and Woodrow’s or...

    I upgraded from a Kitchen Aid meat grinder attachment to a...

    I also recommend a foot pedal, I use mine religiously when I’m grinding, I don’t use it when I’m using the cuber though.

    Going big for Thanksgiving - Tips please!

    Definitely inject for fried turkey and it doesn’t hurt for smoked either. I’m a fan of the Tony chacherez creole butter injection and I will normally rub with butter and sprinkle with Tony’s creole seasoning.
