    50 Lbs Of Lebanon Bologna

    Just add more sugar to the recipe. Also you can cut the amounts in half, and only make 12lbs. The only problem is that it will go so fast, that you will have to make the other half the following week. Yes it's that good.

    Smokers built out of wood?

Parts (if ever needed) can be...

    Would this stuff work to seal up the gaps in the CharGriller?

    This stuff looks like what we call Furnace Cement. It has silica in it. We use it to seal flue and wood stove fittings and to repair and patch up stoves. I would be a little leary about using this around food, unless you are willing to let it set up and heat treat it first. Even then I would be...

    vacupack foodsaver on ebay

    One of the most common problems with older Vacupack type machines, are that when they are stored , they are not put into the storing position. The gaskets are resiliant, but after a while, they do need replacing. I am assuming that you ran some HOT soapy water through a bag, thus drawing the...
