    Spiral Cut Ham

    Yea, my first one was trending that direction. This time I made sure to keep the water pan filled and pulled it a bit early. It came out great. I’m also using propane which can add moister to the cabinet.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    Spiral Cut Ham

    A spiral ham is great for sandwiches. It also allows more of the glaze into the ham. I do both, but the spiral does taste better. Most of the ham was donated to a friend on hard times. Being sliced makes it easier. It does not dry out and yes, I do have sharp knives. I’ll be happy to contribute...

    Glad My Home Is Not Wood -All Repaired

    Oh my, that was close. Glad the damage wasn’t worse. Some years back on Christmas morning, I was in our upstairs bedroom. We sleep with the sliding door open. I heard a sound like a rocket booster. I looked out the door, and our neighbors house across the street was on fire and flames were...

    Busy Day!

    My daughter is arriving tomorrow so I made a pot of smoked brisket chili. I’ll also make cast iron frying pan cornbread to go with it. I still need to work on my brisket skills. It got to 190 and I started probing. I wanted it less than what you might do if you were serving it. I don’t want it...

    Variable wifi/bluetooth propane regulator

    It’s not really an easy conversion. Not sure about your skill set, but it is definitely a project! The silver and black thing is the valve. Selecting it depends on the type of power you are providing it (120v or 12v). Frankly, I like to tinker, but it would be easier to buy a used and...

    Smoking Cheese for Gifts

    I use a mix of apple chips and apple pellets in a smoke tube cold smoking. Try a small batch while you work out the details.

    Variable wifi/bluetooth propane regulator

    The PID controller is a simple computer that senses temperature and can be used to control electricity or propane to maintain a desired temperature. On propane smokers it requires significant modification to the smoker. In my case I use it to control the propane feeding the burner. This is done...

    Have you thought about a PID controller and a WiFi or Bluetooth thermometer for monitoring?

    Smoking Cheese for Gifts

    If anyone is driving by in Oregon, let me know and I’ll load you up! This last batch of jerky I tried something new. I vacuum bagged it and froze it. I pulled a bag out and it came out great. No difference from fresh! I do use Prague.
