    UDS mailbox amps questions

    I'm getting back into the swing of things after a couple years of life getting in the way of having fun. I've gone from making fairly good money, to unemployed (employer went belly up) to under-employed (but actually enjoying what I do--I think for probably  the first time ever...).  And our...

    Hightemp RTV Silicone on a Maverick Probe...where..help!!!

    Never thought of using RTV to seal that junction point.  I've always slid a piece of shrink tube over it and then heated with a hair dryer to shrink and seal.  I don't purposely dunk them in water, but it has kept things going through the occasional accidental quick dip and rainstorms when I...

    amznps question

    Thanks for the quick replies. I notice all have mentioned the sawdust.  This is the pellet smoker, not the dust.  I assume the same logic would apply?

    amznps question

    I tried my new Amazin Pellet generator the other day in my cold smoker.  I got about 10 hours of hickory smoke out of it; happy with that fact. Noticing how much smoke it put out, I got to wondering if maybe it's too much of a good thing for the size of the smoker. I'm just using a little 4 cu...

    What the best over the counter BBQ sauce you ever ate ?

    Wow!  There must be more than one SBR sauce. I've read so much about it I tried a bottle. Nasty stuff. Super sweet for my taste buds.   I have 2 or 3 recipes I've found in the net that I make frequently, and will try anything that looks interesting at least once. I'm partial to Head Country...

    Pellicle on bacon.....

    Mark, I've had good success pre-cooling the air going into the smoker, plus the old trick of ice in milk cartons.

    question on Pop's easy bacon process

    If a liquid other than water is used for the process, will it help flavor the bacon?  I've been using applewood, and I'm just not getting the flavor I was looking for.  I suppose it may be not enough time in the smoke, but I've been toying with replacing all or part of the water with apple...

    2 barrels for mass?

    I need two udss like I need another hole in my head. Previously I could make a case for having and using two, but those days are past.  One of the two I have has never run as it should.  It'll run all day and night at 350 or so, but much below that and it's a chore to keep it lit, let alone...

    Bacon made the easy way...

    2 inches thick?? I wish I could just find one that thick.  My last one was close to 1 1/2 inches thick at one point, but closer to 1 inch overall.  I have tried bellies now from 4 different butchers, and have yet to find a good thick one.  The good news is that even the little ones make good...

    Bacon made the easy way...

    fpnmf, quick question: what is the deciding factor in this time frame:  "10-14 days belly bacon"?? Is it a function of size of the belly?  When it's convenient?  Your original post stated 15 days just because it turned out that way. Is it possible to cure it too long?  Is there something about...

    yuck! I think. smells pretty strong

    Since I did this first smoke, I've tried it two more times with much shorter time in the smoke.  I still can't stomach the stuff, but folks I give it to think it's great.  I found a little creamery in Alma KS that makes and smokes cheese, so I picked up small chunk to see if their's was better...

    Got mailbox for my UDS ( Thanks to Pops )

    Now, I realize I have a lazy streak a mile wide, so maybe that's clouding my thought process; I don't quite understand this mod.  Why couldn't you just put the AMPS in the drum after lighting it?  Why is the additional box needed?

    wet brine absorption?

    One of the things I keep seeing here, and have experienced with what little bacon I've done is the lack of shrinking/curling due to the bellies not being injected the way they are in supermarket bacon. What affect does this process...

    Northern Tool $20 off purchase of $100 or more discount code

    We have a northern tool where we live.  I went in expecting the quality from northern hydraulics since it's the same company.  Surprise Surprise!  Appears to be nothing more than Harbor Freight stuff with a nicer finish.  Very disappointed.

    how big of mistake did I make?

    got around to getting things into the smoker and tried a few slices of one chunk.  A bit salty at the end, but not bad once that piece was gone. Good Stuff, Maynard!  Been working all the OT I can handle, so I've not got it sliced and packaged yet.  Hopefully get some of that done tomorrow...

    how big of mistake did I make?

    Thanks, DDF.  I sorta thought that was the solution. I've got another one in the freezer that I think I'll try the wet cure on that somebody around here has a tutorial.  Sounds like less work in the long run, and I'm all for laziness.  It's an under-rated joy.

    how big of mistake did I make?

    found a butcher shop where I can get bellies w/out skin @ $2.99/lb..  Not as thick as I would like, but that just means I can eat more pieces... I cut a 12 pounder into 4 chunks with TQ and whatever other spices that sounded good at time, bagged 'em up and put them in the garage fridge.  It...

    I love the bags from Vacum Sealers Unlimited!!! Pics included!!

    WOW!!  I had no idea my recommendation of this company had taken on a life of its own.  Just stumbled across this thread today.  A year plus after making the original recommendation. I'm glad so many are supporting this company.  I stumbled across them not knowing any better.  Thought it seemed...
