    Pastrami In SW, Florida

    Are you planning on slicing it very thin? I take my pastrami to 205° IT for tenderness. I find it’s pretty tough at lower temps.

    Hand Made Casings

    Steak and BJ day? No, Lobster and BJ.

    For those of you who know, I hope you had a great steak and side 😜. For those of you who don’t know, I’m sorry you missed out. She decided she wanted lobster instead of steak. Who am I to argue. Smoked it for 45 mins at 225° then I cranked up the broiler on my MES30. They were...

    Corned beef question

    I’ve made 5-6 of them. I’d still soak it in ice water for about an hour, switching the water a few times and not use a rub with salt in it. The 60% lower sodium is still salty as hell if you don’t soak it.

    Pastrami time!!

    Corned beef briskets are on sale so I grabbed a 5 pounder. Soaked it in ice water for about an hour. Changed the water out 3-4 times to drop the salt content. Brown mustard binder and lots of fresh cracked pepper. Then it was onto the smoker at 275° with some apple wood. Got a stall at...

    Container garden

    I’m about 45 mins north of Orlando. The soil, errr sand rather is not easy to deal with. You have to do raised beds, or containers if you want good results. Even with raised beds you lose about an inch or two of good organic material to leeching. After about 20 years down here (from S IL)...

    Container garden

    I did container gardening the last 3 years. This year I went hydroponically. 5 gallon buckets painted a light color to keep the heat down but black underneath to keep the light out. I’m using the Kratky method. It’s basically a “set it and forget it” method. Lots of videos on YouTube...

    Hot sausage on homemade sesame seed rolls

    Nothing better than homemade bread. I mean, unless it’s got meat on it. Looks great!!!!

    Cold smoke before smoking

    Interesting. Does your smoker not put out enough smoke? Do you like it really Smokey? Just trying to figure out why you’d do this? I’d watch the IT to make sure you’re out of the unsafe temps within a certain time.

    Kratky Hydroponics this year.

    Yeah. I’ve watched many of his videos. He does it all.

    Brisket Point

    BW Beautiful Woman??? Great looking brisket. I could kill some brisket after the busy day in the heat all day.

    Kratky Hydroponics this year.

    The intense sun and heat in FL make certain things difficult to grow. I’m trying a completely different method of growing this year. 44 spots to plant in the “downspouts”. I’ll also be running 5 5 gallon buckets using the Kratky method. I’ve never done any hydroponics, but I’ve probably got...
