    Below ground pit...in MN

    Cant really offer any advice on this one. I live in MN too. If that's your plan you better start digging soon. Forecast is 90° this weekend and probably 2 feet of snow next week. I am turning an old refrigerator into a smoker. Just bought Roxul insulation for it. I've read that with a good...

    First Brisket Smoke on the WSM

    I know that rancid pork smell all too well. Bought 3 racks of Smithfields baby backs that were manager special. I bought them on the sell by date and planed on cooking 2 of them that day. I opened up one of the packages and It gaged me. I read on line that it could be from the cryovac and...

    Power Air Cooker Drummys

    Well.....how were they and was the skin crispy? I thought you had to add a dash of oil or spray them?  I thought about buying one for "healthier" chicken wings and such. Is it worth the money and can you add more to the basket or should they not be overlapped?

    Is rump roast a good choice for jerky?

    Any lean roast will work great. I've used top round, bottom round, eye of round.  The cheaper the better. I just used a pork loin for the first time and let my family taste test it without telling them what it was. They had no idea it was pork and at $1.88/lb at Sam's club, this will become my...

    Back Rib Experiment

    Will this cooler fit a full size Packer Brisket? Looking to do the cooler mod for my Anova, but want one big enough for a full size brisket.

    Back Rib Experiment

    I've done this with a brisket before. Smoked till it hit 140°, then SV for 12 hours, then put under the broiler to dry the bark. Turned out very well.  I would say try smoking for 2 hours, then SV. Figuring out the temp and time will be the difficult part. I would say keep the temp lower...

    Roxul ComfortBatt vs. Roxul SafenSound....What's better and what's the difference.

    Thanks for the info Dave!

    Stainless cooler build

    Looks like a good start. What is the inside tub made of? There are multiple exhaust options and yes, you will need an intake, if not couple. I suggest searching the threads within the fridge/freezer build for options. Something that size will require a 3" if not 4" exhaust I'm guessing. What...

    Roxul ComfortBatt vs. Roxul SafenSound....What's better and what's the difference.

    I'm about to buy insulation for my fridge build. My local HD carries Roxul ComfortBatt and Roxul Safe n Sound. Both about the same price and both say they are fireproof. Can anyone tell me what's the difference and which should be better for my fridge smoker build?  I see the safe n sound is 3"...

    What's so great about the Blackstone griddle?

    I just looked at the Big Johns. Great looking product and probably last a lifetime. To rich for my blood for what I intend to use it for. If I was in the catering business then it would probably be worth the investment. For the weekend warrior, I think the Blackstone or Camp Chef will work fine...

    What's so great about the Blackstone griddle?

    I considered something like this, but then you would need a grill big enough to accommodate this and it will not longer be portable.

    What's so great about the Blackstone griddle?

    3Montes - Looking at the Walmart app, they have the 36" Blackstone for $247 right now at your local store if interested. Looks like the Blackstone folds up nicely too. I think there's pro's and con's of each, but both get high reviews.  Cabela's also sells the Blackstone, so I will go to the new...

    Sad Story

    I believe the saying goes -  How do you make a million dollars owning a restaurant, start with 2 million. Obviously this is not the case with all places. I know catering companies who started small and now run successful restaurants and have been going strong for 10 years. There was a food truck...

    Best ribs of my life........from a dude at a GAS STATION!

    I guess the shed in your backyard would technically be no different than a mobile food truck since it's not a permanent building. Still need a commercial kitchen in MN to prep for food truck.....bastards!

    Best ribs of my life........from a dude at a GAS STATION!

    No, Just jealous and didn't know if it was legal or not in the event that I wanted to try doing something like down the road. If I am passing by and I see him again, I will certainly support his "business" whether or not he's doing it "legally".

    Best ribs of my life........from a dude at a GAS STATION!

    I found this add a while back.  Do you think this concept would actually count as a certified commissary/commercial kitchen? Or would it all depend on your State codes?  Selling my BBQ PREP KITCHEN, base of operation for my food truck, 12X12 insulated, wired, and plumbed with hot water heater...
