    boston butt , pork shoulder mix up at sams

    OK, I'll bite. Explain to me the difference between a pork shoulder and a boston butt in your opinion. I've always known them to be the same thing. In my store they cut the end (coppa, money muscle end ) off and slice it into boneless pork steaks. The other half gets de-boned and stuffed into...

    Prep table ideas?

    I don't know the current chemistry of whatever they pressure treat wood with but it used to contain arsenic. I would never use it for a food contact surface. Even if arsenic is no longer used, the current chemistry can't be much better. I'd be more tempted to make a pressure treated frame with a...

    Partial cook

    The only time I'd partial cook is if an emergency came up mid cook and I couldn't finish at that time. Pending what that emergency is, I might even say "screw the meat I gotta go NOW" ! I don't see a time savings anywhere with a partial cook. It will take nearly as long to get the meat up to...

    Magic Biltong

    I greatly prefer mixing my own spices. TOO many times I've fallen victim to recipe changes, batch differences. discontinued product ect.

    Magic Biltong

    This has been gnawing at the back of my mind since it was first posted. I need to make a move in this direction. Anyone get their spices off Amazon ? Specifically Corriander Seeds. It looks like you can pay whatever you want as prices are all over the place. Sometimes there's a reason (quality)...

    Garlic Cloves in Chuck Roast

    Mom taught me to do this with chuck pot roast. She sliced the garlic cloves and stabbed the roast with a paring knife, slid the slice down next to the blade and then extracted the knife. Over and over again. Can't really be over done. A few years ago I saw Emril Lagassie Do exactly the same...

    Pork loin tacos

    Great looking meal. I was going to PM you about the spacer or flush mount, but you answered that. I was going to build one, but as usual My design was getting overboard. Ended up buying a press from a small Mexican grocery in St. Charles. Still haven't used it. May circle back to building one...

    Quick, No-Cook, 2-Ingredient Hot Sauce-New Favorite

    I put some on a burger and it stood up well with the other flavors. Mixed a little in a small bowl with about a 50/50 sour cream. Used as a dip. Muted the flavor a little. enough not to completely overpower the chips. Tried the same with mayo. Believe it or not the mayo overpowered it. Maybe...

    Quick, No-Cook, 2-Ingredient Hot Sauce-New Favorite

    Dang that's good !! I couldn't find the 19 oz beans, so made do with 15 oz Bush's. So a little chipotle heavy from the recipe. Warm but not stupid Hot. The She-Beast concocted a Taco Casserole of sorts for tonights dinner. Perfect time to try it out. The taste is VERY familiar, but Danged if I...

    Galvanized water main lifespan? and Stop Waste?

    I used to install and repair water wells years ago. I've pulled many a well with Galv pipe for leaks in the well drop. Of course I'm talking pipe that has been under water for 10-20 years or more. Always replaced with Schedule 40 PVC. CTS tells me the sizing but not the material. Reasonable...

    Lower gas smoker temperature

    you may have to resort to fleabay or amazon for #1 screws. If you know someone that works in manufacuring, maybe you could get them to add a box to their next fastener order. You won't find them in hardware stores but they are used all the time. Watches, clocks, scopes, fishing reels ect...

    educate me

    You're not returning your kitchen oven because of temp variations are you ? Most don't even agree with a good therm. Some can be adjusted within a narrow window but still may not totally agree with the therm. Water heaters, furnaces ect (gas or electric) the same way. They all have over shoot...
