    Potato Vs. Corn Starch

    That's a fantastic explanation Sorry missed this response. I would like to delve into this further. I use AIM (Deheated mustard) for similar reasons. I would love to compare notes if you're not tired of my incessant questions 🤣🤣🤣

    Potato Vs. Corn Starch

    I'd like to figure this out. *sorry for the reference* on a BBQ competition show I was watching on something that rhymes with SnetPlix, one guy failed and someone recommended using milk fat as a binder to make it less crumbly. Then I recalled he used a super lean meat. As I reflect, is it...

    Whole chicken on an MES

    No it's not deboned. It's literally a whole chicken. The backbone is removed. Just the backbone. Then it's flattened. There's still a bunch of other bones in it. Ribcage, drums, and wings don't have the bones removed.

    Whole chicken on an MES

    Spatchcock: cutting out the backbone and flattening the chicken. Allows for an even cook with less time. Once you cut the backbone out with poultry shears, flip it over, give it CPR to break the breastbone. Flattens right out. MES: Masterbuilt Electric Smoker. Looks like a fridge. Doesn't get...

    Potato Vs. Corn Starch

    Is there a rule of thumb when one would want to use binder and when not to? I never have on the ones I make, but see a lot of recipes and premixes that do. I don't really understand the rhyme or reason tho.

    First time brisket cook...a couple questions

    I'm sure this will get some cringe - but I can barely wake up before noon, let alone 4am to smoke. Any time I do a brisket I sous vide it for 36 hours, put it in the fridge for a day, then smoke it for a couple hours. Not saying it's the best method, but it's fool-proof and turns out quite well...

    Smoked Mac & Cheese Question?!

    If you're using the recipe @02ebz06 posted you should have no problems. My mistake came from trying some random recipe I found with questionable liquids to begin with and then doubling the meat. :emoji_laughing:

    Colds smoked salmon questions / diagnosis

    Is it fat, or is it albumin? That's white and kind of slimy and will appear on salmon in hot smokes. If that's what you're getting it can be prevented by brining for 15 mins in salt water before smoking.
