    spice shelf life

    I think a lot depends on what it is and how it's stored. Whole spices like seeds and peppercorns that still have their natural protective coatings will last a long time if tightly sealed. I have a huge jar of garlic powder that I have had for about five years that will still knock you over when...

    That is a dandy looking hunk of pig there! And a great price.

    Bulk spice?

    Good question. Probably not if they are of equal freshness.

    Bulk spice?

    Penzy's  or The Savory Spice Shop online. Both of them also have storefronts in some cities. We are fortunate to have a local Savory Spice so I get a lot my stuff there.

    The Old Ways

    Sounds like you had a rough go of it growing up as did many people. But you survived. So you do have something to pass on to younger generations. That's what this discussion is all about, survival. I learned something just reading your post. I think you are mistaken if you think your experience...

    Newbie Reaching Out on a MB 30 + Cold Smoker Unit or maybe a Iron Cheff Unit?

    I have been using the MBCS unit on my gen 1 40 with Western brand chips for my last 4 or 5 smokes and yes you can crack the ash drawer and shut the unit off and it will continue to smoke. You will see less temperature gain when cold smoking this way and smoke output is slightly less. I let it...

    Landjaeger for the first time - with pictures (QVIEW)

    That is some great looking sausage there. Any idea where you are at in terms of percentage of weight loss? What is your goal?

    The Old Ways

    When I was a senior in 1972 we all had easy rider rifle racks and took our deer rifles to school with us so we could go hunting on the way home.

    The Old Ways

    Don't get me started on our school system in the U.S. Danny. Yes we need to pass on our knowledge to our young people. But our school system here is becoming such that they would never allow it. How can you teach a young person how to use a knife if they are banned in the schools? I had a pocket...

    Who says you can't smoke during a blizzard....was wrong!!! Back Bacon a la BearCarver

    Looks excellent! I want to know how that maple syrup works out. A couple friends of mine tapped maple trees and made syrup over in the lowlands this winter. They are supposed to send me some.

    First timer: Two attempts, two failures...

    Good advice from timberjet. The best thing I ever did for my smoking was getting the Maverick. You might want to consider trying a whole chicken or two. Another thing, I do brine whole larger birds but wouldn't brine smaller portions. If you want to use a rub with salt in it cut back on the salt...
