    Pork Prices

    I think they're a little crazy there. My local Cash & Carry has Butts, Picnics and legs; all boneless and all under $2/lb (I think the expensive cut was $1.79) Find somewhere else to shop.

    34 pound chuck roll....

    I used "most" of it.  There were some area of the fat that seemed "dried" out, so I trimmed a thin layer of the top to get to some nice looking fat.  Other than that minor trimming, I stripped it all up for the grinder.  The burgers are lean, but at least the first 3 I cooked, held together just...

    What cut of meat for hamburger?

    For those out there that are grinding your own hamburg, I have a simple question. What cut (and why) do you use to make your hamburg?? I am looking for the "general purpose" hamburg here, not hamburg you may grind for some special dish. I have tried a couple different cuts, mostly the bigger...

    34 pound chuck roll....

    My local C&C had smaller ones.  I picked up one that was 23lbs, and had a bit more fat on it.  I'd say 5 - 7 % fat.  I ground the whole thing up into hamburg, I made a bunch of 5oz patties, and froze them, and froze the rest in 1lb containers.

    Pulled Pork Ideas

    Well some of it depends on your freezer space. I alway buy the 2 pack of butt's at Cash & Carry.  I season one with BBQ seasoning, and one I season with taco seasoning.  The taco seasoned one gets pulled and used for taco's, nacho's, chimmies, stuffed peppers, and as a base for my pork/chili...

    Smoked Pizza...Need Help

    Bed, Bath & Beyond "usually" sells a set with stone and peel in it.  I bought one specifically for my smoker.  You want to get the temp up to around 400-425, and put the stone in to heat it before, cooking.  Think about the brick oven pizza places out there, they cook it right on the stone...

    Anyone looking for Lea & Perrins: Thick Classic Worcestershire Sauce

    Not sure how many people use Lea & Perrins: Thick Classic Worcestershire Sauce, but I had started using it to rub on beef before seasoning (kind of like mustard on pork).  I ran out, and had a heck of a time finding it.  I looked in all my local stores, to no avail, seems everyone carries the...

    My new smokehouse

    That smoke house looks amazing!! Did he design it himself, or use plans from someone else? If he used plans, I sure would love to get a copy, or at least where he got them, that is the exact type of smoke house I want to build, I just need pre-made plans, since I'm not one to draw something...

    Howdy from Portland

    Howdy from Portland

    Howdy Neighbor! Can you give more details on that smoke.  It looks good, but if you're not completely happy with the results, there are plenty of guys (and gals) on here that can give suggestions.  Would be nice to know what temp your smoker was at, and what the IT was when you pulled it, how...

    My first brisket

    EXACTLY my thoughts too. This warrants a trip to Cash & Carry! Looks Great, if you used a prepackaged rub, they are almost always too salty for my taste, which is why I make my own.

    Phrases that if you said in public would get dirty looks, but are commonplace in BBQ

    My wife laughs every time, when I've got CB curing, and I tell her I'm going to massage my meat.

    Restocking Cheese Smokeathon

    I missed our cool day to restock, and I desperately need to.  Guess I'll just have to do an overnight on the cheese.  The nights should be cool enough now.

    Anybody using this Traeger?

    I have the lil texas elite. I think it's a very good "starter" pellet smoker.  That picture looks like there is not a digital temp controller on it, so you would be limited in temp control, unless you upgrade it. If you are an expirienced smoker, especially pellet smoking, you will not be happy...

    Is Boston Butt only for pull pork

    Last week end I bought two boneless 2 packs from my local Cash & Carry, from the first package of 2 I trimmed off the nice big flat pieces for buck board bacon (curing now), and chunked the rest up to run through the grinder for breakfast sausage.  The 2nd 2 pack I smoked, one with KC BBQ...

    Usually yes, but it may also depend on local distributor and availability.

    I bought a whole pork belly now what

    Look around on the inter-web.  A quick search and I found recipes for deep fries, braised, slow roasted..... If you want to separate and try some different things, there's plenty of suggestions out there. Good luck and share pictures (aka fat man porn)

    Traeger daddy

    Yea pretty much, I waited until my second year to try anything different, but not solely because of the warranty. I bought my Traeger from Parr lumber, and with it, I could buy as many bags of pellets for half price.  I bought 8 bags!  during my 2nd year with the smoker, I had a friend get a...

    Costco belly 07/05/15

    Confirmed now at: Vancouver, Wa - both stores Hillsboro, Or Tigard, Or Santa Cruz, Ca So it's spreading.  Costco usually starts new products out in Seattle (Kirkland) area, then spreads out from there, so the further you guys are from Costco's home, the longer it may take to get it there...
