    Traeger daddy

    I've been using mostly Bear Mt Pellets in my Traeger.  I can get them at my local Cash & Carry, which makes it convenient since I get most of my meat there too. Mostly I've been using Apple or Cherry, since the Missus likes those the best. But I use Hickory a bit too. The only thing to watch...

    Costco belly 07/05/15

    OK, so it's not just the Costco on 192nd, the one on Andreson has them also.  Depends on size and pack date for the price, one 10lb'er for 2.29, then right next to it was a 11+lb'er for 1.99.  They have pre-sliced belly (2.99) and half/whole trimmed. Great prices, and at least labeled from the USA!

    I have the Grizzly Industrial 5lb stuff.  Works great so far, and only $85. http://grizzly9-px.rtrk.ca/products/5-lb-Sausage-Stuffer-Vertical/H6252

    Meat grinders - LEM 575 vs Chef's Choice Kitchenaid

    I have the LEM 575, and it's been perfect for me so far.  I have only done batches of 5 - 15 lbs, and typically only stuff that needs to run through one time.  I grind my own beef for hamburg, and pork shoulder for sausage. I couldn't justify the money for anything "bigger" than the Lem, but...

    Smoker Fire--Don't Let This Happen to you

    Too bad for the owner??  Hopefully they had renters insurance or the owners insurance company will go after them for the money.  Could be a litigation nightmare.

    traeger fails.

    I think you definitely need to check / adjust the "P" setting.  Also, if your temps are spiking that much, you should check the connection of your temp probe to the control board, a loose connection can cause big temp swings like that.  The temp probe screws into a terminal block, directly on...

    traeger fails.

    What model of Traeger is that? What brand pellets are you using?  I have the Lil Texas, use Bear Mt pellets, and I've gone 16hrs + with a full hopper.  There is definitely something defective with that smoker. If I use Hickory or Mesquite pellets, it would go longer since they seem to burn a...

    Had a problem w/my 075 Traeger..

    Still happy with your Traeger?  I'm getting readyt o install my 3rd Ignitor Rod, and it seems the quality and durability has decreased with each new ignitor.  Still $30 and 15 minutes to swap, makes it nice.

    traeger fails.

    WOW! I just did a quick search to see if anyone (or everyone) that has a Traeger has the same issues with the ingniter rod, and came to this posting. There sure are a lot of opinions about pellet poopers, and Traeger especially. I'll add my 2 cents anyways: 1. I have been pretty happy with...

    Making rub vs store bought

    Whether or not MSG is bad for you, is really irrelevant.  It is a flavor enhancer which is something i think we can all agree on.  There are some "side effect" that "could" happen if you consume it. However, if you have a rub, that can stand alone without MSG, why would you add it?  All the...

    Making rub vs store bought

    My #1 reason for making my own rub has always been salt.  I haven't even tried the pre-made rubs, because they are mostly salt.  No need for that much salt!  I started making my own, and have found a few I really like.  I use both of Jeff's rubs, as well as a KC BBQ rub I found online, and...

    PORK CUSHION MEAT

    The ham came out "OK".  The meat itself is a little tough, but sliced thin for sandwiches, or chunked for omelets it has great taste.  It's definitely not a cut I would use to make my Easter ham, it's just too tough.

    PORK CUSHION MEAT

    I picked up one of those deals on Pork Cushion a little over 3 weeks ago now, there were 4 in the packeage.  Looked at all the things you could do with them, and couldn't decide how I wanted to use them. So.... - 1 sliced up for pork steaks and into the freezer - 1 left whole and into the...

    What is your favorite wood for bacon?

    I feel I don't get enough smoke taste out of apple. It tastes "OK" but not smokey enough for me. Haven't tried maple.  Last time I used Hickory, 11 hrs cold smoke, and it tastes wonderful!!  I'll be using hickory from now on.

    Ribs in Beer?

    I've done ribs with IPA.  I use a foil pan, and do 6 racks, stack them in them in there, dump in the IPA and cover with foil. 2 hrs in and then back on the rack, gives it a nice "wheatie" taste. I don't do them with beer all the time, I use apple juice sometimes and have used a mix of melted...
