    Freezer to Fridge Conversion for steak ager. Safe to drill holes on the side?

    I just picked up a nice older working Whirlpool Freezer Model EV150FXKQ03 that I am going to convert into a fridge for aging beef using the Ink-Bird ITC-308 Temp Controller. The freezer has coils that run under under the shelves and the refrigerant line runs on the inside corner and down...

    Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !

    I would say medium to high heat. You definitely want water to "skitter". I usually test out a small piece to make sure it's hot enough. You want a good crust on the burger and make sure it's 8/20. Also make sure you've got a good metal spatula. You're going to have to push/scrape pretty hard to...

    Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !

    Great find on the tool. Might have to add it to my arsenal. I've been using the Lodge Bacon press for my smash burgers. Same width, just not as long. I put parchment paper underneath so avoid sticking and easy clean up. I use to grill burgers until I tried making smash burgers in the house on...

    Lox!

    Nice work. I am thinking about doing the same with the salmon from Sams club. How does it taste compared to the store bought lox?

    Snow Day in MN - snack sticks on the MES 30

    All Von Hanson's should have high temp cheese available. It's not displayed for purchase, but just ask them for it. The one in Rosemount carries 4 different types and it's about $6/lb already cubed up. I've also heard you can use Kraft Crumbles, but I checked Walmart, Cub and Target and cant...

    Nacho momma's broil..

    Looks great. Did you marinate the meat first? If so, can you share the recipe? I'm looking for a good Tri Tip / London broil marinade.

    $75 PID CONTROLLER BUILD W/ FAN FOR CHARCOAL/WOOD UNITS. PICS & WIRING DIAGRAM

    I'm on a Facebook group called TECH SAVVY BBQ and someone created a PID temp controller with a fan to be used on their UDS. A lot of people in the group are using them with success so I figured I would share with this site. Please note that I did not create this or the wiring diagram nor am I...

    Fed Ex BLOWS

    That's a bummer. I work in customer service and FedEx is usually pretty good at not losing shipments from my experience. UPS on the other hand is a different story. I have been using Popp's Country Style Sausage recipe that everybody seems to like in my family. I buy the ground sage in 2oz...

    Hello From Minnesota

    I've only been to Surly once. I'm not a big fan of IPA's , so their beer selection is limited for my taste buds. Great facility and I had their brisket when I went and it was very good. I see they are transforming the upstairs to a pizza joint. Might have to check it out! There is a place in...

    Hello From Minnesota

    Hello from one Minnesotan to another! What Brewery are you employed with? I would recommend buying a nicely used older Weber Genesis gas grill on craigslist which you can find for $200 or less right now. The older ones seem to be built better in my opinion which is what I have. These things...

    Acquired Mid Century Malm Lancer Free Standing Fireplace....Now what?

    I wouldn't mind adding a forge to my collection, but I think this piece is to nice to use it for something like that!

    Acquired Mid Century Malm Lancer Free Standing Fireplace....Now what?

    I agree. I looked at the manual and it was 16" from her wall, there was a fire resistant floor beneath and bricks on the wall surrounding it. I think my aunt wanted it gone either way. I definitely will not be tossing it, but I have the toddler at home and really no good place to install it. I...

    Acquired Mid Century Malm Lancer Free Standing Fireplace....Now what?

    My aunt just bought a house and it was in her 3 season porch. The inspector told her it had to be removed because it was a fire hazard and would not pass inspection for insurance. The orange pipe is only single wall and the pipe going through the roof and outside is double or triple wall with...

    Snow Day in MN - snack sticks on the MES 30

    I got mine is Rosemount and I believe they had 4 different types. They also charge $12/lb for their snack sticks. It really makes you enjoy your own product that much more knowing how much it would cost to buy otherwise.

    Acquired Mid Century Malm Lancer Free Standing Fireplace....Now what?

    Hi All, So I acquired a Malm Lancer Free Standing Fireplace this weekend. Based on the serial number, I'm guessing it's from the 60's/70's and it's in great shape. Looked up the website and this sells for $2900 new and around $1000 used online. It's definitely a cool piece, but I have no use...

FYI...If you ever want to use Hi Temp Cheese, Von Hansons Meat Market sells a few varieties around $6/lb which...

    Pulled Chuck - Sous Vide & Smoke

    Looks great. I love a SV chuck roast to slice, but I think I will throw it on the smoker after for pulled beef. Care to share your hot mustard sauce recipe?

    What you guys think of this unit?

    Ever take a bath and notice the water cools down quite quickly in the tub. Anybody ever consider rigging up their Anova in the bath tub to make a poor mans hot tub to help keep a nice warm consistent 104° bath or would you risk getting shocked? Asking for a friend obviously!!!!!

    What you guys think of this unit?

    I've got the Anova Sous Vide and it works like a charm. I like that I can put it on different size pots. Much easier to transport too!

    Where to buy a Gen 2.5 40" MES?

    I was in the process of building a fridge conversion to electric with PID. After all materials it was going to cost me around $400 to build and this MES 40" actually had a bigger cook chamber so I said screw it and bought the 40".
