    Smokin Tex Feedback needed

    The ST smokers are analog. You can expect to see temps fluctuate 15/20 degrees high and low of your set temp due to power being sent and stopped to the element. This is perfectly normal. It will over shoot and stop heating and then at a low temp point start heating again. Sometimes more...

    Smokin Tex Feedback needed

    SmokinTex (ST) has been around for years as has CookShack and SmokinIt. All solid smokers. ST has not embraced the electronic PID technology preferring to keep it simple (I guess). ST used to have a forum which was quite popular. I don't know why they stopped the forum. Several owners have...

    Electric suggestion?

    There are three all stainless steel models. All are expensive but reliable. Smokin-it, CookShack, and SmokinTex. I have a Smokin-it and Cookshack. Utterly reliable. No problems or iffiness. Just solid performance. I have no experience with SmokinTex but they have been around for many years.

    Low-Budget Slicer Not Performing

    The CC 665 did a great job, while it lasted. The rival is decades old and strong as ever. I do need to hone the blade.

    Low-Budget Slicer Not Performing

    I am down to my ancient Rival. The Chefs Choice 665 broke at the gear hub and no parts available. Sure glad I kept the Rival. Does great as long as I flip the meat every 5 or so passes.

    Monday ???

    Reminds me of a haircut my dad got for my younger brother and me on a Saturday in the late 1950's. Don Eagle (Mohawk) is what it was called. Mom would not take us to church with her on Sunday.

    Meat grinder recommendations.

    I have the LEM Big Bite 8 and it does all that I need it to do. A 12 would have been impressive but overkill for our needs and frequency of use.

    Found old knife

    Could be wrong but maybe a Fairbairn Sykes , commando, British made or a facsimile. "Nub" is for skull crushing.

    Found old knife

    As someone else said, looks like carbon steel. Tarnish happens and adds character. Super easy to sharpen. Keep the wood handle oiled to avoid splitting/cracking especially the end grain at the blade. It looks like a keeper to me.

    Poor Mans Brisket

    Looks great! I use chuck for pot roast, shredded for enchiladas and tacos and ground for burgers. Never smoked one though and your looks really tasty. The bag should have a lot of flavorful juice/broth. Enjoy!

    Vitamix Blender Input Anyone?

    The vitamix is pretty spectacular as blender. One of the first foods my wife made when we got the vitamix was a squash soup and it was steaming hot and delicious.
