    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    I’ve been using Cookshack smokers for roughly 10 years now. Yes they are pricey, but after using my Smokette for almost 8 years I upgraded to an AmeriQue and sold my Smokette for what I paid for it. (and I didn't want to sell it) I don’t believe there is another smoker on the market anyone can...

    transporting a cooked brisket

     As the previous cooks have said foil, wrap in towels, and stuff that puppy in a cooler for the trip. I have kept brisket and pork butt for 5-6 hours that way and they were piping hot when I was ready for them

    commercial oven build and help

    I would agree with Roger’s assessment based on the schematics in the manuals he provided. I’d say you could get by using your house power using 110V for 1 element or 220V for 2 elements Two elements would provide quicker response and recovery, but I believe one element would suit your needs...

    Sausage Stuffer

    I ended up with a 20 lb vertical stuffer from Cabalas. I went with the 20 lb because most commercial sausage mixes are divided into 15 lb batches so this option gives me the room to add in cheese or whatever with the least amount of reworking and/or clean up Works for me anyway

    RE: Bearcarver's health

    It just made my day to see Bearcarver had checked in 2 days ago via AlaskanBear. Prayer is a wonderful thing!  Even though you’re "nowhere near out of the woods yet" that meadow is coming into sight. Our prayers for continued recovery will be there as long as they’re needed. And YES it...

    Here’s a rib question for you butchers

    We want to do ribs for a church fundraiser so I stopped by our local locker to see what they could do for us. I told the gal behind the counter we wanted loin backs. She hadn’t head of them but was sure they were baby backs. The explanation I got from this thread says she is right...

    Pickled smoked eggs and other snacks Q-view

    The only time I've had trouble peeling smoked eggs was when I used fresh eggs. They’re next to impossible to peel. Make sure your eggs are at least 2 weeks old (about a week for store bought). I may just be lucky, but I’ve never had an issue with my smoked eggs being rubbery. All this talk...

    Dog Woes

    Well that’s all I got. Although you may be on to something being a self diagnosed smoked meat miser. I would suggest talking it over with the dogs and offer them a few samples as a gesture of your appreciation. If that doesn’t work I accept donations of all kinds of smoked meats, cheeses...
