    Did i screw up my bacon?

    I use vac seal bags but seal before they are all the way vacuumed and get a few of those spots on maybe one out of four. Doesn't hurt a thing and no need to trim it off. Looking forward to seeing that bacon!

    LEM collagen casings

    @Dave in AZ Have you used the fresh collagen casings? Do you know if they can be used in the sous vide? I'm guessing something like this is what the large commercial producers use?

    Labour Day Weekend 2024

    BOTH! Man I gotta hear more about this! Folks think I'm odd because I will not under any circumstances eat a chicken liver but I am nuts about gizzards. And "golf" with black powder!?! Oh hell yeah!

    Price Fixing in meat (all types), eggs, and dairy industries

    I dunno man. I'd like to see the context in which that statement was made. I did a google search and couldn't find anything other that repetition of this news story. There are no facts. Just a statement that was extracted followed by opinions. Lord knows I'm no fan of big corporations and what...

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    Hey @jcam222 75001 has that butter at $2.79. Doesn't appear to be restricted. Yeah not much difference but if you buy five its a buck saved.

    SmokinEdge Bacon Doctrine

    You are definitely on the right track. Absolutely no need to rinse. I like sessions of cold smoke only with resting uncovered. Tried hot smoking when I was starting out and for us cold smoking was better. After cold smoking sessions I'll let it rest in the fridge for about a week uncovered...

    4am Butts under the Moon

    I agree with that 100% and cooking ahead and reheating is how I do almost all of my pulled pork. However I will say that having some smoke in the air and breaking down the butts in front of everyone seems to make it taste better to a lot of folks lol. Even if you're pulling them out of a cooler...

    Freezing and Thawing Meat for Grinding

    Holy smokes man! That's insane! Is that for regular commodity pork back fat or specialty heritage breeds?

    Kettle upgrade

    Looks good! Enjoy that kettle. In my opinion it's the the best grill out there of the money.

    Cowboy Candy

    Hell yeah. Cut em up. Put them in the brine and wait a while. I do it all the time. It gets weaker with reuse from the dilution of the water that the previous batch gives off but will work a time or two. Also works well as an addition in salad dressings. And who knows what else. Try marinating...

    Well that's a bummer but I'm not surprised. Figured that was coming. Thanks @dr k for starting this thread! My freezer is loaded as well!

    What are you drinking today?

    I heard a few people say the NA beer from Athletic Brewing was pretty good. I gave it a try for the hell of it and it was actually decent. Especially compared to others I tried in the past. Kinda pricey though. Go figure. I bought it in a Publix and have seen it in a couple liquor stores.

    Unwrapped vs. wrapped

    Simple answer: No I've made single cut ribs with the vortex I think 4 times now. We like them. Not as good as low and slow but damn good taste in record time. But I don't think you can get them fall off the bone even with a no sugar rub. The temp is so high I feel certain they would burn getting...

    That's exactly what I thought about the jerky. I haven't had much luck with west coast coupons working out here either but I'm gonna check just in case lol.

    Smoked Pork………………..

    Try bacon burnt ends. I highly recommend it.

    * UPDATE, THAWED AND COOKED. PICS IN OP * Defrosting a solid frozen brisket in refrigerator.

    Just my opinion but I don't think it's a big deal if a large hunk of meat isn't completely thawed. It will finish thawing real quick when it hits the cooker. I would say 4 days in your fridge if you have that much time would be sufficient to get it going. As for your second question I prefer...
