    I got the new build started she's gonna be a big girl.

    Thanks, Bruce Is the 255 a Millermatic or a Multimatic? We used to have a farm in Upstate NY before "retiring" to out North Carolina place. I really didn't need any engine drives any more but was so used to having one or two around I kept one and found another one here that I overhauled...

    I got the new build started she's gonna be a big girl.

    Good luck with the build, Bruce. What size and thickness is the tubing? And what are you going to weld it out with? Is this your first smoker build? Best regards,

    Camp Chef Discount for Veteran's

    Jimbo, I absolutely was not knocking you or Camp Chef. I'm sorry if anything in the wording or the overall message lent itself to you feeling that way as that was far from my intent. Best regards to all, Lance

    Camp Chef Discount for Veteran's

    That's good on Camp Chef. For those of you who are currently serving or retired military be careful when vendors ask for a copy of you ID card to grant a discount. Aside from governmental purposes or to verify and process claims for medical care not provided by the military it is a federal...

    Howdy from NC

    Hello Foxman and welcome from the thriving metropolis of Pinnacle, North Carolina. We can't be all that far apart. I'm 25 minutes north of downtown Winston-Salem. Maybe we can get together sometime and toss some critter parts in a smoker. Or make some sausage. Or get some meat started...

    Need recipe for pressure canning Dove and Quail

    You could look at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Website: http://www.wildharvesttable.com/2020/03/25/venison-meatloaf-comfort-food/ And the Georgia Cooperative Extension publishes a great book by the name of "So Easy to Preserve" that has info on all kinds of food preservation and includes...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    Bill, I don't think anyone is talking down about any brand of pressure canner/cooker as much as posting up what they use. We have the 921 AA 21-15 qt canner and a 10 quart Zavor (Fagor) Duo pressure cooker/canner. If I hadn't bought the AA canner used for about 35-40% of new I likely wouldn't...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    I was never stationed at Drum but in 10 years active duty and 19 more in the NY Army National Guard (with much of that active duty) I spent a lot of time at Drum. In the 1984/5 time frame as the transition to Fort Drum from Camp Drum was happening and all the directorates were expanding I...

    Pressure Canning Equipment

    Ahh. We had a farm outside Auburn for 20 years until we "retired" to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in mid 2016. We still have two sons and my brother in the Scipio/Auburn/Weedsport area. When we get up there it will be split between the Buffalo area and the Auburn area so from...

Nancy and I grew up outside Buffalo (Amherst and Elma), had a CNY farm for years and are now retired to our place in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC. But I may have an extra All American No.7 All American canner (Same as the model 915 at 15.5...

    Looking to Make Pastrami

    Ahh, I'm a little north of Winston-Salem, NC so we're 6+ hours apart. If we were closer and we could do it safely I'd have offered to grab a couple of briskets from the local Restaurant Depot and walk you through what I do. Still, it's pretty straightforward and I'm sure that you'll make great...

    Looking to Make Pastrami

    It's always interesting how so many folks can use so many routes to get to the same place. I inject cure into the brisket, AKA "spray pumping", with an injection syringe and then submerge it in brine. I spray pump as I feel it makes for more consistent brining and usually just use a water...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    I have a lot of pipe nipples on hand and gave that some thought but that wasn't going to work well here due to the slope of the ramp, needing to control the sheet to keep it from tipping and then raising it up onto the cart off pipe rollers. The rigging I used kept the leading corner above the...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Thanks, seenred I'll look into them. The auction was an online auction and I had made an appointment to inspect the lots I was interested in a few days before the sale. When things closed I bought a good used pallet jack to replace my tired one, a 10' twin step Type 1AA step ladder and a...
