    Does anyone fill Medice Capsules?

    I put a little peanut butter on a bit of bread and fold the pills up in that. The same liver flavored pills that she'll happily chow down when the vet gives them to her, but when I try, nope, thats not a treat.

    Electric smoker won’t get hot enough

    Are you using an extension cord? 1st smoke after installing a PID I wasn't reaching set temp and after banging my head against the wall for some time I tried again without the cord and that solved it. If so you might try a different cord.

    Video games?

    5-6 months ago I was bored and looked thru my Steam library to see if I had anything I hadn't played yet. Yeah right, probably 98% of them haven't been played of course. Turns out I'd played all of 6 minutes of Borderlands shortly after it 1st came out so I decided to try it again. I think I've...

    Fishing Rods Suggestions from you Fisherman

    I've got 3 Ugly Stik GXs, all with Penn Fierce IIs. 6.6 light, 7' ultra light and a 9' medium for jetty fishing. I can't remember my 1st poles, whatever my dad could get cheapest. When I was ten or so, I got one of those 3 pole sets that you would see advertised in magazines for $10 or so...

    Help with texture of sausage

    Venison and pork loin are both very lean, I'm going with lack of fat. Using pork butt rather than loin would have been an improvement but I don't know if it would have been enough.

    Snack stick question

    I use 3 1/2 to 4 tsps of ECA per 5 lbs of meat for summer sausage depending on how tangy I want it, but I haven't used it in snack stix. As mentioned, add it just before stuffing and hand mix, don't run it through your grinder. It releases at 150* so 152* should work.

    Covid booster shot problems,

    I'll be getting mine next week as I got the Fluzone HD shot on the 1st. I asked the pharmacist about getting the flu shot and booster at the same time and she said, "I know the CDC is saying that you can get both at the same time but as pharmacists we're highly recommending that you wait 2-3...

    Wire brushes

    Sorry I haven't checked in for a few days. No but it looks like it would do a good job. I just use a nylon bristle brush that has real heavy bristles and scrape between the grates with the spatula. I soak them in the sink once in awhile and scrub them, reseason.

    Wire brushes

    Thats what I used before I switched to Grillgrates. Bristles are much heavier duty than regular grate brushes and cheap to replace if they start looking dubious.

    PID Controller

    No thats just the way I went and the only one I'm familiar with. Theres a number of smarter than me guys here that have built their own PID's with readily available parts that may chime in. Steve H and tallbm for two. I think it was JC in GB that built some to sell but I don't know if he's still...

    PID Controller

    Auber does ship to Canada but depending on where you're at it could be a few week wait and I don't know how badly customs would work you over. " For international packages shipped by USPS, the transit time varies from country to country. In general, it takes 2 - 3 weeks to arrive in the east...

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    You'll like it. Simple and fast! I've been using the same one for 5-6 years daily and it works just as well as it did when I got it. The only thing that can go wrong with it is the gasket wearing out and I've had a spare sitting in the junk drawer for years. I use the inverted method because...

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    I've been using an Aeropress for years. I tried a French press but this is faster and IMO makes better coffee. It doen't get any simpler. Turn hot water kettle on, dump a scoop of fine ground beans in, add hot water, stir it for 20-30 seconds and press. Dump grounds and rinse. Add more hot water...
