    Rolled sirloin cap makes my mouth water. You’ve gotten some good suggestions.

    Bacon Gone Bad - Jowls

    Sounds too warm. I keep mine at 37. And it could also be the fattier jowls will take longer to cure than the belly based on fat content.

    What to Do with Leftovers ?

    That looks like some good jerky.

    Weber Gas Grills Worth the Money???

    Heat it up, scrub it off, cook your food. I use a grill brush that’s woven metal, instead of bristles. It’ll stop sticking after a few more uses. You can rub it it down with a little oil just before adding food, if you want.

    Thai Chicken Sausage

    You could try cashews, or a combination of cashews and almonds. You'll have to play with flavor profile until you find something you like.

    First time bone in pork chops

    Looks like a good start! I usually do a brine for about six hours and then a quick reverse sear after smoking.

    Favorite beer while smoking and/or eating BBQ?

    I tend to like lighter beers with bbq. My favorite is Payette Brewery “North Fork Lager”. That or a whiskey, neat with a water back.

    Duck score

    Seriously? Did you sear before going into the crockpot? I’ve got a lot of duck breasts in the freezer. Even though they’re skinless, I’m always looking for new ways to use them.

    Duck score

    I wonder if a little brining would help with the long smoke?

    2 racks burning plum and oak

    Looks good! Tell me about plum. I have a large, old tree that gets pruned every year. It’s a lifelong supply.

    UMAi Garlic Done 1 month and 4 days

    Very nice. Now that my spot in the fridge is open, it’s time to cure something.

    Finally broke down and ordered some umai bags...

    For a first cure, I would recommend Lonzino. It’s an easy one to do and the results speak for themselves.

    Snack sticks

    Mix by hand just before stuffing. I don’t know which brand of ECA you bought, but I found 17gm for 5# to be too much for my liking. Cutting it by a third was perfect.

    Sausage fat content

    I use 20-25%.

    The All American Burger and Fries

    Nice, Chile! We're fortunate to know exactly where our beef comes from and how it was handled, so I can keep our burgers medium rare-medium. Have you tried the traditional double fry at 325 and then 375? It would be interesting to know if there's a real difference.

    UMAi NY strip

    Thanks, guys! I’m pretty happy with this first try. I’m now willing to buy a prime quality strip for the next attempt.
