    Thought I'd share my sausagefest of the last two days.

    Clean up your dirty minds, people. Went to my buddy's place yesterday, his wife and kids were at the zoo, and we had clearance to use the kitchen for sausage making. I've been waiting months for him to get some time free - last time we did this was Jan 1st. <sigh> Hopefully it won't be this...

    Who knows about welding or wedding tent type structures?

    Looking at buying a welding or wedding tent (or something) I can use for painting. So a simple camping tent won't work, doesn't need a floor, but does need 4 sides, and preferably rollup or removable sides - so I can pull a trailer or a yard cart type smoker through. Doesn't have to be super...

    Did a side-by-side test today - hot vs cold smoked

    Been doing various different methods lately. This morning I cooked up a mess of bacon on my 36" Blackstone and had a few notes. Hot smoked bacon, as I've noticed before, when cooking does not leave nearly as much residue on the griddle (or pan). You know, when you've cooked a bunch of bacon and...

    Sending bacon on a plane with visiting friends?

    Got a couple visiting this week from Trinidad. They love my bacon, so they want to take some home with them. This is my plan: Currently cold smoking 20lbs in my cabinet smoker with a couple of pellet tubes. Going to go maybe 3-4 hours. Later today, will apply the heat, hot smoke it up for...

    Here is the current pit I am building. Going to be a long post... offset 125-gallon backyard model.

    Well, I've built a few, and am working on trying 'break into' a slightly higher end market. So this cooker I am hoping is going to come out nice and snazzy and bring a good price at the end of it all from some yuppie suburban dude wanting a nicer backyard offset to complement his higher-end...

    Refurbishing a Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain cabinet smoker

    I picked up one of these for $50 recently but I cannot get the burner to light. I have tried the tank on other smokers and my propane torch, works fine, not an issue with the safety valve-limiter on the tank. I can see the igniter sparking when I press it. And I can smell the propane when trying...

    So, will meat prices come back down much?

    Don't get me wrong, I know economics dictates all this, and it SHOULD come back down once all the craziness from this <cough><cough> stuff straightens out, but... I'm reminded of a scenario a few years ago. I remember maybe 4-5 years ago when a virus went through and was killing little piglets...

    3 fatties in 2 days...

    First fatty was Thursday, before I found this forum. Thread posted here. So after reading here, decided to do some more, the very next night! So here are #s 2 and 3. I used about 1 1/3 lb of Jimmy Dean's Italian sausage. I think I will do 1 1/2 each next time. Just want a slight bit more...

    First fattie last night - then someone pointed me here.

    Well, I got into smoking this summer after a nice neighbor lady loaned me her Traegar pellet smoker she hadn't used since her husband passed 3 years ago. So I've done a variety of pork butts, ribs, 'dillo eggs and even a corned beef with an apricot glaze that turned out great. But I've been...
