    japanese maple

    I have one pretty Japanese Maple that I coddle and baby. It's currently lit with Christmas lights. :)  I protected it from wind, trim it every year... I get the most amazing compliments on it, especially in the fall.  It was a slender little thing when I bought my house. As far north as I am...

    Post your Tattoo

    Yay!! The rhinogaming logo is a very neat piece of artwork. I think the guys and girls at Logo Design Team did that one.  If you want it to be less recognizable (or affiliated with a casino) you might try to run it as a mirror image. But seriously, SOB: If it does not bother you, then I wouldn't...

    Summer Sausage Stuff and Smoke - Day 2 - 26 pics Q-View

    I am sold on the zipties idea to close them off from here to forever. :) Color coded by flavor, snipped to be tiny and tight, they look pretty and professional.  Also, if I pre-loop them loosely, I can do it all myself. I am also kinda on the shorty side.   If I made my grinder any taller, I...

    Chaurice making with Q-View.

    They look gorgeous. Chaurice? Is this like Chorizo? Sounds spicy! Mmmm.. They look WONDERFUL!! Are they considered fully cooked then? I've always thought of myself as a bit of a sausage enthusiast, but this is new to me!!

    Grinder Smear - How to Deal - 9 Pic Q-View -Good for Rookies

    You bet! If this were a full break down for final cleaning, I'd have DEFINITELY included my hints on how to get all the icky gunk out of the backside of the grinder nut. (I have a fun trick that I have not seen anyone talk about on here!!)  This was more the "mid-grind-uh-oh" post. Thank you for...

    Can you narrow it down by price range?  Less than $1000? Less than $500? Less than $250?

    Prime Rib (Best ever)

    Bear - Did you have the roast sitting in any kind of drip pan? Or just on the rack? What happens to all the juice that sweats out?

    Grinder Smear - How to Deal - 9 Pic Q-View -Good for Rookies

    You have a grinder. You're happily using it to grind meat for sausage, meatloaf or even meatballs. One day, you hear a noise (I'd describe it as a popping squicky sound) and maybe your grinder starts to labor a little bit. You've hit a chunk of fat or fatty gristle, and your grinder does not...

    Newbie with Question

    My heat source is at the bottom. It is hotter closer to the flame. In fact, the butts I did on Sunday got as much as 20* apart at one point. :)    I can also manipulate my temperatures by playing with the dampers. WIDE OPEN at the top, nearly closed at the base is my favorite way to go!

    Newbie with Question

    I often do veggies on the top rack. I think of it as an order of "done temps." Things that need a higher temperature go on bottom. I use LOTS of thermometers, both in my food and in the cabinet. I don't need to worry at NEARLY as much when I have my temps. My general stack is: Veggies...

    Reincorporating Pork Juices question

    I just did what Dutch said yesterday. It worked nicely. Next time? I am going to simmer the juices down even further (to almost a demi-glace) and keep them for making stock. Too good & rich to not spread around further.
