    Better vac sealer rolls

    Those are great bags and the only ones I us anymore. If it's not sealing foodsaver bags it may be a problem with you sealer and it may not seal VSU bags either. Your heating strip may have gone bad on your sealer.

    I'd call this chili, but FoamHeart won't let me! Ah to heck with it! Dirtsailor's white bean Smoked

    That's right!. I put white beans in mine just in case a Texan shows up. If it's not red they don't notice.

    Big Chief and PORK

    One thing to consider is the 4 hour safety rule. You should get meat internal temps up to the safe internal temp within 4 hours. I t would take way longer than that if your temp is only 145. I wouldn't even think about doing poultry in it. They are great for smoking fish and jerky though.

    The Old Ways

    Like I tried to say before. I'm not sure that is true. I think when I was younger people didn't think I was paying attention and wrote me off. I guess I am just more optimistic. I see people all the time sharing their knowledge in the kitchen and outdoors with kids.  Be patient and keep trying...

    Grilling oysters

    No I don't have an official source for oysters. Lots of info out there that says you shouldn't eat clams or mussels that don't open. Also info that says that a clam or mussel that is alive and is open should close if you tap it. If not it's dead and you shouldn't eat it. I have seen oysters open...

    MES Cold Smoker Question

    If you are talking about the flange about half way up the tube, yes it should sit flush. Can you post some pics? Something is not right for sure. It sounds almost like your element is out of place or bent up. Another thing to check is make sure your screen is staying slid on all the way when you...

    Grilling oysters

    I have grilled a lot of oysters and they don't always pop open. Doesn't mean they are bad. Clams are a different story.

    First smoked whole chickens - on now - questions?

    I generally sit them right on the rack breast up. I also like to smoke as high as the MES will go, 270. No water in the pan. I like to baste  2 or three times with a mixture of butter, olive oil, Captain Morgans rum or sweet white wine. This helps to keep the skin from getting leathery.  Some...

    umaii bags?

    You might want to do a search in the preserving and curing section. There are several threads on them there. You don't need any special equipment to use them. You do the curing right in the fridge. It is my understanding that they work by letting moisture out and not letting bacteria in.
