Soupy/Supie Sausage
This looks like the old Italian Sotto Olio presdervation method. There are Sopressata aficionados all over the country but soupies is a Norteast Pa. slang. [if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/>... -
How do you mount your vertical sausage stuffer?
I use a 3' x 5' folding table I bought from Costco. I drilled four holes in the top, with the stuffer lined up with the short edge of the table. I use four heavy bolts with large washers and wing nuts, to tie down the stuffer assembly. The remainder of the table is where I put a large sheet... -

Bag Making
A couple of years ago I wanted to make some Taylor Pork Roll and I needed the cotton casings. Couldn't find any sources on line so I looked up sources for Unbleached Muslin and some handy dandy formulas to calculate what size to cut the material to get the diameter I wanted. I bought the... -
Hand Crank Meat Grinders
This going top be a double comment, forgot to hit quote last time, sorry. The price you quoted 1 buck a pound for sheep casings sounds really good to me. I paid a lot more for them from Butchers and Packers (a Canadian company) . I check most of the major suppliers and I haven't found anyone... -

New Info on whats in Traeger Pellets
Hello gpb11; My concern is with the cooking pellets. The quote from the CookinPellets company you listed is what I would expect as a minimum. They are still being a little cute with the appeal to not needing boxes of different kinds of woods. Yes, that is a convenience but on the other hand...- pafret

New Info on whats in Traeger Pellets

New Info on whats in Traeger Pellets
I agree with you, the disclaimer is boilerplate CYA due to the litigious nature of our society. The part of the article that interested me was that the pellets are claimed to be food safe yet none of the companies list the contents on the bags nor could they tell what was in them without...- pafret

SMOKIN-IT SMOKER
Dave: That Smokin-it #4 sounds like my volkswagons. I tried persuading my son to buy a commercial unit and modify it if necessary but he is a stubborn cuss - he wants to do it "my way". Considering that the "child" is fifty years old I can't really argue with him. Unfortunately he tends to...- pafret

SMOKIN-IT SMOKER
Old Sarge: Thanks for the link -- good video. What I saw is similar to what my son told me he is constructing. He says the controller he designed is more advanced than anything currently on the market. His test box smoker was controlled via his laptop and provided a lot more information and...- pafret

SMOKIN-IT SMOKER
Dave; Thanks for the heads up, I should have checked further. I noted the higher price but if the shipping was truly free it wasn't that much. These bait and switch vendors are exceedingly annoying. This is another group I will add to my "never do business with list". I'm not in the...- pafret
