    Knife recommendations for trimming

    There are knife forums, and a search brought up a few pretty eye-bleedingly in-depth threads about honing steels. I think it may be a good idea to make a brand new thread if you're more on the mid-range to budget spectrum, because I think most of their discussion probably ignores price, as...

    Butcher Paper - Pink vs Brown & a few different options

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I think I've made my choice. The web restaurant store has by-far the best price per sq foot on butcher paper, even after the very heft shipping cost. Regarding the difference between brown and pink butcher paper, it doesn't seem like there actually is a...

    Knife recommendations for trimming

    I'm looking for one of those too, but I haven't looked very much just yet. Any suggestions?

    Knife recommendations for trimming

    Thanks all, I may just scoop up a bunch of these including the Victorinox, some ceramics, and maybe even a Mercer and one it these https://www.walmart.com/ip/15904150, which I believe is the one Nate was mentioning. They're cheap enough that I may just see what I like he best. I guess if I'm...

    Knife recommendations for trimming

    I'm looking at a boning knife myself. Frankly my reasoning is that I see at the Youtube guys I watch (Jeremy Yoder aka "Mad Scientist BBQ" for example) using them. I know Jeremy tends to reach for a cheap Mercer Culinary M23850 Millennia Black Handle, 6-Inch Flexible, Boning Knife which is the...

    Butcher Paper - Pink vs Brown & a few different options

    Doesn't parchment paper have some silicone in it than can transfer onto the meat? I seem to recall reading that is why people recommend against it...

    Butcher Paper - Pink vs Brown & a few different options

    So unless I'm missing something, this looks pretty much identical to the pink papers I've posted, excluding the one from Web Restaurant Store that's treated. Sounds like I should stay away from that one. The next question that still remains is... what's the difference between the brown and...

    Butcher Paper - Pink vs Brown & a few different options

    Hi there, I'm going to be buying some butcher paper, and I've googled around, browsed the forum, and read a decent amount. I'm still left with some questions, so I'm hoping you guys can provide some clarity before I buy. 1. As I understand it, white butcher paper (like this) is bleached, and...

    Need quick info/opinion on MES MB20074719

    I'm sorry, this is probably a dumb question but I cannot find a single picture online that shows the back of this unit (the MB20074719.) Can someone please confirm whether it actually has wheels or not?

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    Thanks for the recommendations. How's the dexterity on the RAPICCA gloves? Those wire racks look pretty nice - I particularly like the silicone feet to prevent scratching / sticking / hopefully reduce having to clean the feet, which would be a bit fussy otherwise.

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    Oh I like the look of these... very heavy duty. I bet they'll last just this side of forever. I had some flimsy wire baking racks where the welds all started breaking. I probably will opt for something like these guys. Thanks!

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    Good point on the gloves - they're not waterproof. Maybe a silicone option would be better for when I'm handling cast iron. I had thought about welding gloves, but I think those are absorbent as well.

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    Oh wow, that injector looks pretty much exactly like the Spitjack that someone else recommended, but it's less than half the price! Doesn't have one or two of the tips, but I can't imagine those extra tips are worth an extra ~$70 to $80. I think I'll maybe try this first, especially since I...

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    That's the one that stood out to me, so I think that's what I'll put on the list. Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/gp/your-account/order-history&tag=smokingmeatforums-20 <--- If you click that link it'll take you right to your Amazon order history. Would love to know which ones you got...

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    I have a Pit Boss Laredo 1000 pellet grill. I have to imagine that removing a wire rack is much, much easier for me than pulling out the entire, much heavier, inset grill rack on my pellet smoker. I don't want to risk slipping and having the back of the rack fall down into the grill, and watch...

    Selecting quality BBQ equipment (injector syringe, cooking racks, gloves, etc) -- Help wanted

    Hi there, I'm just getting into smoking, and it seems I could use a few tools.... and my family is demanding a gift wishlist (lol) so I'd appreciate some help identifying good accessories. The tools I'm thinking about currently are as follows: 1) Meat injector syringe. I've found these blog...

    ThermoWorks probes - alternative/compatible brands?

    Did they come to any sort of conclusions about the failures after studying the probes you sent back? I have to imagine if you've had THAT many issues with them, you've got to be a fairly notable outlier. If there were a lot of others experiencing the same failures, one would assume they'd have...

    ThermoWorks probes - alternative/compatible brands?

    Out of curiosity, have you tested the Amazon probes side by side with the Thermoworks ones right next to each other in the same piece of meat? I'd be curious to see if they register the same temps / graph the same way.

    What tool should I use to scrape my porcelain coated grill grates?

    I think I'm going to try a variety of solutions. My preferences so far are (in no particular order) the cutoff grill fork, the 3M not scratch scrubbers, ammonia method, spiraled wire brush, and wooden plank with holes drilled. Oh and a normal wire brush for the non-cook surfaces like the heat...

    What tool should I use to scrape my porcelain coated grill grates?

    Yeah, I wasn't exactly thrilled to see the porcelain, and in fact the ends arrived a tiny bit chipped, which I contacted Pit Boss about. They promptly sent me a second set for free, which had the exact same issue, so I guess that's just how it is. I don't love it, but I can't bring myself to...
