    Sausage fest 2017

    Piggly Wiggly sometimes has some great meat prices. I live very near one and drive by a couple regularly, and if I'm paying attention, can often ger great deals. That said, at GFS in Appleton, I just bought 4 boneless butts for $1.29/lb.......no bones is kind of nice......cube it up, freeze and...

    Kielbasa Recippe

    I have a recipe that calls for one large clove for 5 lb, but Richie is correct.....garlic flavor is a individual "to taste" thing. If you don't want to test fry a bunch, go with one large clove this time, and adjust on the next batch. It would not be too much at one clove, and gives you an...

    Ribey and strip steaks for supper

    Thank you Disco! Eyeing up your hot dog recipe.....I think it is in my future....lol. I didn't smoke these, reverse seared. I seared them a tad too long, though.....timing is everything over that heat! All these had was salt, nothing else.....well, unless you count the Maillard...

    Next project.....JERKY!!

    .  No, in this case, I just bought some top round roasts at my local grocer. The further I cut into them, the more marbled they looked.....I didn't think they looked that marbled in the meat case, but maybe I was just overlooking the marbling because I had jerky on the brain. I can buy a whole...

    Ribey and strip steaks for supper

    Thanks, I like them slightly more rare, but the fact that there were no leftovers gives away the fact that I was just fine with how they turned out....:biggrin: We thought about waiting, Mark, but we knew you wouldn't want us to let the food get cold.......:icon_redface: Thanks, oh, and by the...

    Next project.....JERKY!!

    Pulled all of it off of the smoker a little over an hour ago. Some of the thicker pieces went into the dehydrator, the rest just threw in cake pans. The flavor is very good, the texture is not as good as my first batch. My theory is this......if you look in the pics of me slicing it up, this top...

    Ribey and strip steaks for supper

    We ate high society tonight.......we use that line to say we ate later than usual. The town we live in was a paper mill town (still kind of is), so when we were kids, most dads got off of work at 3:30 and so we often ate supper between 4:00 and 5:00, so when we eat later than that like they do...

    Seasonings

    My tinkering is one thing at a time. So I know what I changed and what worked better and what didn't. I don't want to change five things then wonder what caused the off taste of the five changes.

    Can I improve my mailbox mod?

    Hold on, I'm getting plenty of smoke in the cabinet. Yes, some smoke comes out of the hole in front, some smoke comes out of the flange, however, a lot of smoke comes out of the hole in the cabinet of the smoker. I don't see what the problem would be of having some smoke leak out that is...

    Seasonings

    I make my own.....usually I will find a base somewhere online, try it, and modify it. I just like knowing what is in it and what I can change.......I guess I just like to tinker.

    Ribey and strip steaks for supper

    Haven't had steaks in a while, but I had some in the freezer, so we pulled them out and are going to grill them tonight. Two ribeyes and two strip steaks. Right now I am dry brining them in the fridge......just a little over 1/2 tsp kosher salt per lb. of meat rubbed on to the steaks for a few...
