    Re heating shoulder

    Depending on my time frame, I will use the crock pot with some finishing sauce if I'm not pressed.

    Need advice on my paint options on my first UDS build..

    That looks pretty close to Ford blue to me. Don't know if engine enamel will stand the heat from a UDS, but it should be pretty close on color.

    Glass lining in a water heater tank

    Its gotta come out. I would burn out the tank several times to see if that will loosen it for brushing out, or it might actually burn it out itself. I've made some wall tents stoves out of these tanks, and just burned them good outside after construction, not had much trouble. You will have to...

    A Long Time Coming. Finally, My New Toy!

    You might have had to wait a bit, but you sure got a nice rig when you got it. Great piece of equipment there. I got a used Hobart Beta-Mig last year. Like you said it might be more juice than you need, but it will be nice to have it when you need it.

    From wickipedia: Sodium erythorbate (C6H7NaO6) is a food additive used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks. Chemically, it is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid. When used in processed meat such as hot dogs and beef sticks, it increases the rate at which nitrate reduces to...

    Do I brine a turkey breast thats packaged in solution?

    Another option for enhanced injected meat is to soak it in ice cold water for a few hours. This will pull a lot of the salts and chemicals from the meat, then soak or reinject with your brine. Allow to sit overnight or however long you like. You might need another soak in plain water to keep it...

    Venison Jerky Questions

    I've have used High Country and High Mountain mixes with great results. I've also used a huge variety of home recipes, both dry rubs and marinades and had mixed results. The thing to remember about dry mixes is that when sprinkled on the meat (both sides) it basically becomes a marinade in that...

    powdered buttermilk

    As Mark says, powdered milk can be, and is used successfully as a binder in sausages. I use it often. I have not used either powdered buttermilk, or regular buttermilk as a flavoring agent so I cannot speak to the results you might get with it in that context. Binders in general can get a bad...

    Project Fridge

    I would sure think the whole freezer compartment would make a nice enclosure for your thermo controls and themometer. If you went with a rheostat style thermo control, you could use the control knob in place of the knob that comes with the thermo control. It's gonna look pretty cool when you get...

    If I buy "The Bible" should I still get...

    I don't think you "have" to have them both. I've pretty much gone by Ryteks book for the last 20 yrs. or so, and gotten by just fine. I do think I will get Charcuterie at some point just to satisfy my curiosity and see what else can be learned. With either book, and the great resource this forum...
