    Local Meat Locker

    I've purchased these in bulk before but it requires that I place the order and prepay which isn't an issue for a catering job. I stop in and on occasion I'll find a couple of packages of the chicken, apple and cranberry sausages and they are the best thing locally. Four sausages about $7 so I...

    Cold smoke time ?

    I know,it's like asking preference on oil or tires on a motorcycle. A thousand posts later and still no definitive answer. Thanks for the input. Being that I live on a very very sparsely inhabited mountain and the bears appear daily, I'll put it just before dark 30.

    Flavor not penetrating into meat of baby back ribs; bark is good but meat is bland - help!

    Well I don't do any of that but I do make my own rub, I do have a specific process I follow, and I do keep the ribs moist until wrapped. Granted these are spare ribs but I do all of my ribs the same way. I like how pig tastes. I try not to overpower the sweet natural taste of pork. I'm editing...

    I live in the Smokies and Blue Ridge mountains. I left the city many many moons ago. Catering is down about everywhere I reckon. All of my cooking equipment is paid for so I don't have to.worry about payments going out. My target customers are here for recreation and not cooking.

    Long Distance Covid job

    I want to stay busier but we're a media driven and scared society these days except for myself and a few hearty bikers. None of use came down with Covid and we all traveled across many states and did not wear masks. Just saying.

    Yep, that's a heck of a lot more than I would care to type but I only service my regular customers for things like this and I do have the disclaimers on the bill of sale. I grew tired if the competition circuits, too much overhead for not enough return IMHO especially now. Thanks for the input.

    Any of you other catering types considering doing custom smoked turkeys for customers that sign up in advance ? I've done it before but I'm just not sure if it will be a good thing to do during this "pandemic".
