    Brook Street BBQ, Houston, TX, Sausage?

    So I was in Houston for work for a week. Tried several BBQ joints. I liked BrookStreet the best. I really liked the sausages from each of the places I tried though. I liked the smoke flavor more at Brook Street. Any way, my question is, what is the basic type of "Texas" style BBQ sausage? And...

    ShooterRicks Attitude Brats recipe and pics on the grill

    I used this recipe last night and I am here to testify that these are GREAT! And I love Johnsonville Brats. These are better, much, much better! I did a 5lbs batch to test. I will be doing 20lbs next weekend! The only thing I did different, is I used 1 TBS of salt, only because I don't care for...

    Sausage Stuffer Questions

    I have this same stuffer. I used it for the first time this weekend for Brats. It worked great. I did notice one of the tubes though, there was some loose metal that I has to file off. It was like a piece of thread. I need to get some clamps for it though. Can crank it and control the casing at...

    Injecting pork butt

    I have to disagree with all due respect. I inject with my marinade that is at it's base a 50-50 water/Apple cider vinegar. Pulled from heat at 195* and never come out mushy. The main thing besides taste in an injection it make sure your spices can fit through the needle! Either grind your...

    Saved pork butt drippings..now what?

    I save the fat that rises to the top too. It's pork fat that has been smoked! Lots of flavor. Same as saving off Bacon grease!

    butt backing down

    I have had most of mine drop about 5* in the plateu. Never 15-20* though!

    Bonus from my pulled pork...

    So a few weeks ago I did up 20+ lbs of pulled pork to begin stocking up for the winter. Part of my process is an injection marinade with quite a bit of butter in it. I also continue to bast the pork once an hour or so through wrapping time. The drip pan gets a pretty good amount of dripping in...

    Coming to Polaris Ohio

    I must be in the minority about City BBQ. I don't care for it. Haven't tried Smokeshack BBQ yet. I know they have two smokers named Cheech and Chong! Getting to the front door is a bit odd. The entrance looked like it was in the back of the building. Drove by it a few weeks ago when I saw their...

    suggestions for steel sizes

    suggestions for steel sizes

    yea, will be using a mig welder. I have always welded with whatever scrap metal was around the barn. Never knew a designation of hot or cold rolled steel. Thanks!

    suggestions for steel sizes

    Almost forgot, Anyone know a good place locally in Columbus, OH? I found square stock on line, 6 ft pieces $11.22 a piece plus shipping. Shiping for 15 pieces was $30. And what type of steel should I look for? Colr-rolled or hot rolled? Does it matter? Price is the same.

    suggestions for steel sizes

    I have a Chargriller smokin pro with side fire box. I don't like the under carriage it came with. I want to build my own under carriage. Add some better wheels and better shelves on the side and front. So my question is, would 1.25"x1.25"x16 guage be heavy enough square tubing for the job? I...

    Renyolds Handi-Vac

    Yea, I am thinking I had some bad bags that came with the pump. So far I am 48 hours now and still sealed and air free.

    Renyolds Handi-Vac

    Ok, so I had a thought that maybe the sample bags I got with the pump were bad. I have repacked everything in bags from the boxes of bags I bought. One was a quart size bag with some fresh sechwan (sp) peppercorns I got from an Asian grocery store that I had just toasted. That package would not...
