    Question about which Meat Your Maker grinder model I should be looking at.

    So I have a bottom bottom grade grinder from Harbor Freight, it works and was super cheap. Now I want to get something better, which would literally be anything. lol It's not going to see heavy use, I won't be stuffing sausages in it or grinding up entire animals. Mostly some Brisket for smash...

    Suggestions for a burger seasoning I can buy on Amazon?

    I use Meat Church Holy Cow now and love it, but there are so many others out there. I was reading on Google and a lot of people love the seasoning at Freddy's Custard & Burgers. The closest location is like 80 miles, but I saw bottles of the seasoning on Amazon. And I found the copycat recipe...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    Unless it's the organic house Krogers brand, that flour isn't gonna work for Neopolitian bakes. It won't matter how fast or how often you turn it, it'll burn before it's cooked properly. At best if you manage to get it out before it burns, it'll still be semi raw in the middle. Sorry, I forget...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    Semolina's what I use, also try holding the turning peel near the fire for like 10 seconds to get it warm before you turn the pizza. I've made a lot of pizzas and I couldn't turn one sooner than 15-20 seconds without it sticking. Heating up the turning peel does help, but the dough needs some...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    A store called Smart & Final, it's a West coast only (I think) grocery store that sells bulk stuff to a lot of small restaurant owners. And I buy 5lb loaves of Mozzarella cheese for my pizzas there for $16. It's about $7lb at any other store around here. Buying boxes online kinda sucks...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    I sold my Ooni and bought a Halo Versa 16 pizza oven. Anybody looking to make pizzas, it's really awesome for lower temp pizzas. I do 600-700f NY style, which for me required a lot of playing with the gas knob on my Koda 12, less so on my Karu 16. But I still had to do adjusting throughout the...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    If you ever start making your own and want to actually get good at it, there's a lot to learn lol. It's not really complicated, but it's way way more involved than BBQ. I have an app on my phone I punch in a few things and it tells me how much of everything to use. While I've never used it, I...

    Breville Electric Pizza Oven?

    I do NY style pizzas, so very long 6-8 minute bakes compared to 60-90 seconds for a Neopolitian. You'd have to have an Iron Chef level pallet to notice the difference between a pizza cooked on gas, propane or wood. And I don't even think the best pallet could detect how it was cooked. You will...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    16" pizza I made in my Halo Versa, super oven for the price, it's rotating pizza stone's amazing. While I loved my Karu 16, in this I can launch my pizza and walk away until it's done. I do NY style only, so about 6-7 minute bakes. It's not a fantastic oven for Neopolitian, but you can do 2...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    What's the hydration of your dough? 65% and under I can build right on the peel and launch without it sticking. You gotta be semi-quick, dunno exactly how long because I don't time it. But I'm under 2 minutes from start to launch. I don't even flour the peel, but if you do I'd use Semolina...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    This is a great tip for a turning peel, if you heat up the launch peel and try launching the pizza it'll definitely stick.

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    I don't know what B&M stores have. But, for less than Ooni you can get TKC on Amazon. I have their 14" proliferated peel, while it wasn't cheap. It was $48 compared to Ooni's which is $59. Having owned both I'd say they're equal. Some of the cheaper ones are nice too, but some are a bit too...

    does it make sense to grind our own hamburger ?

    Ground Brisket Smash Burgers seasoned with Meat Church Holy Cow - I have no words, even just salt and pepper would be amazing. But with Holy Cow it was one of the best things I've ever made/eaten. I know I mentioned this way back in this thread, but I can't stress enough. If you're gonna make...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    Ooni's wooden peels are good for launching and cutting/serving on. And there seems to be a decent chunk of people who sometimes have issues with their dough sticking to a metal peel when they launch. Their wooden peel with a sprinkle of Semolina flour on it works well for launching. I've had...

    Help with how long to smoke spatchcocked 25lb turkey

    I didn't mention it because I didn't see his video until I was just about to put the bird on. I generally trust Malcom as he's a southerner, a BBQ legend and a big boy. All good signs they know what they're doing when it comes to BBQ lol. I think he said it will make it taste good and help...

    Help with how long to smoke spatchcocked 25lb turkey

    Thanks again to everyone who helped, I don't like Turkey but it came out pretty decent. 450f for 30 minutes, then dropped to 325 for a few hours then upped to 350 for about 45 minutes then down to 325. Skin came out super chewy and rubbery which sucks. I dried it super well after brining, and...

    question about Kingsford savory and smokey charcoal

    Thanks for the info, welp it's 2:30AM I'm putting the turkey on at 5 and I have no other charcoal. So hickory infused it is. I know you said you don't recommend them. But thankfully this turkey will be eaten by people who mostly are lacking pallets so it should still taste good to them.

    Would like to know if I can eliminate all charcoal from the Master built 800

    I own a 560 and while I've never tried just wood, the manual makes it very clear to not use it with only wood. They even list the recommended maximum amount of it. It can't be ran without charcoal. And while I don't remember the exact amount the recommended amount of wood's a relatively small...

    question about Kingsford savory and smokey charcoal

    I'm not finding a definite answer here. Roomie bought characoal for me to smoke the turkey tomorrow, but they didn't pay attention and got Kingsford Savory & Smokey Hickory. My plan was charcoal + some Pecan wood chunks. I've never used this infused charcoal so I don't know what to expect...

    Help with how long to smoke spatchcocked 25lb turkey

    I definitely don't think the brining will be long enough, but it'll still be worlds better than a turkey that hadn't been brined. The meat injector idea's a good one, I don't own one. And unfortunately for Thanksgiving a lot of people who barely cook want to become a chef. So things I could...
