    Smoke time for Summer sausage

    I would rather not have anything but water on my SV, smoke is hard to get off of somethings and my plastic tank wasn't cheap.

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    I have had some good strips cooked at home and some tiugh ones, have used everything under the sun but still not as good as a ribeye most of the time, I have a 3 riw Jacard and use it along with pineapple or Adolfs, I really miss the steak flavor they use to have

    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    Pre-marinated Tri-tip

    Honey(bees) - 150 pounds in my near future

    Has anyone else lost their tolerance for heat?

    I have always loved hot and spicy, been having indigestion for awhile and narrowed it down to tropical 7UP, I had slacked off of spicy and have decided the citrus acid was causing my discomfort. Hate that too cause a good cold 1 every few days was really good. Oh well part of aging I suppose.

    Yellow powder on mesquite chunks

    Seasoning packet, any use?

    I throw it out when I buy a bag of mixed beans, like some type of smoked pork and country ham has been on sale in bags of pieces, I buy separate vac and freeze, works very well and saves $$

    Bang for your buck steaks.....

    2 strip and 1 ribeye was about $32 yesterday, ran out of the rib roast steaks I vacuumed back around Christmas, will buy more hopefully this Christmas sales season. Kroger limits to 2 per week I need to shop around even if higher, maybe shoot more deer this season as shoulder is better 🤣
