    Kirby stuffer

    Hi all, I am finally in a position to buy a Kirby water stuffer. I emailed him only to find out he no longer makes them. Does anyone know of one for sale? I was hoping to buy a #15 pound model with foot control. I’m also open to other options for a water stuffer. I’ve just always read that...

    Salt pork

    Just an update…… I pulled the pork belly out of the salt and sugar mix today. It’s been in it for exactly one week in the fridge. It turned out well, I fried a small piece without soaking it and it was SALTY! So I think it was a win. Before using to cook with I will soak it in water for a 1/2 to...

    Salt pork

    I would like to stay away from cure 1 if possible. Seems like I get a ham type flavor when I use it. Yes, real salt pork requires soaking before use due to salt content. I saw a video where the meat was put into a brine. Another I read just coats it in sea salt and sugar and sits in fridge...

    Pulled pork

    No sauce, I plan on putting in a foil pan with finish sauce and putting in my big offset reverse flow cooker as the chicken is on. I’ll then put my homemade bbq sauce out if anyone wants. I normally do chicken and whole hogs, I’m very happy with the way this turned out!

    Electric smokers

    I’ve replaced the heating element twice. I do like it but mostly just use it for quick last minute smokes or cheese. I normally fire up the big reverse flow of set for planned cooks. Guess it dies t have to be replaced but I was just thinking of replacing it.

    Electric smokers

    Hi all, I’ve been using my MES 40” smoker for years. It’s starting to show its age and I’ve been looking at replacements. What are your recommendations on a replacement electric one? Manufacture and model would be helpful. Thanks much

    Pulled pork

    Thanks guys. I think I’ll try to do it ahead of time. Should I use a pork shoulder, roast or something else?

    Smoked corned beef

    I’m wrapping up some homemade corned beef from a good size brisket I had. I’d like to smoke one of the chunks this weekend. I have a MES smoker with an external smoke generator connected with a dryer vent. I’m hoping someone can give me advice on how to get good bark with my set up. I can cook...
