    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    All I know is we better get to liking soybeans, seems to be a large stockpile at the moment, can critters be raised on soybeans ? feed might be cheap at some point.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    It's crazy, reckon I will be loading the freezer with deer this year, glad I live on the east end as the west end has started having deer with CWD and I won't knowingly eat 1 with it.

    Country Ham Research

    I live not far from Bentons and all of their stuff is pretty good, I don’t cook the bacon in the house as it takes days to get the smoke smell out, it’s not a breakfast type bacon rather a meat to add flavor to dishes. The country ham is decent but I am not a big country ham fan.

    St Louis Ribs Pellet Smoke

    I have found that with my pellet smoker opening it doesn't really add much time, the burner kicks on and back to temp in nothing flat, that's not how wood burners work as it can't ramp up or down easily or quickly. It's rare I wrap as it's tough to build smoke flavor without spritzing or a tube...

    More of you guys should try making jerky. Batch from last week

    Looks great, only problem is store bought teeth hate whole muscle jerky. Coarse 1 piece will last all week :emoji_laughing: , I makes some with ground deer and shoot it onto trays , when smoked it resembles the real deal without the tug.

    Vacuum sealer questions - UPDATE, bought the...

    I have had the FS auto for 7-8 years or so, love it if something happens to it I will buy another, load the bag poke it in and it does the rest no button or bar to press, when I process a deer outside and it's cool you can seal none stop. Inside 4-6 before you get hot if you have a bunch already...

    Sealing Cooking Chamber...

    Well the bigger the smoker the less a leak will impact it, on the other hand the smaller the smoker and firebox the more it will impact it, limited heat availability might make it tough to run a specified temp, I hate chasing temps but it's part of the game. As smoke is released places it...

    Pork steaks and ribs

    Looks great, I cook pork steaks often on the grill and prefer 1/2” thick, the thicker they are the tougher they are, 1/2” seems to be the sweet spot for grilled imo.

    Pulled chicken... who knew??

    Looks great, I love to put the rub heavy to leg 1/4’s and let the pellet smoker run about 4-5 hours at 225-250, skin sucks but the meat is great and thats what its all about in the end. Been using SuckleBuster sweet heat and it goes over well without to much heat. If I could buy chickens with 4...

    Is it enough smoke?

    You won't be able to control the temps if you crack the hood, microwave the pellets is the best advice to give.
