    ADVICE: Need a new grill - Weber vs. Char-Griller

    Weber = Cadillac CG = Ford REC TEC = Mercedes Benz I've owned them all and enjoyed all three. The REC TEC is a pellet smoker/grill so it is a different animal. My humble opinion...RTB..

    electric smoker not what I expected

    I use a MES30 but it burns 25° hotter than the set temperature. You should check your internal temperature if you haven't already so you don't run the smoker too hot. I like to go no higher than 165° inside the unit. 152° internal temp is the target on most sausage that I make. All smokers are...

    Thinking of making sausage

    The Kitchen Aid works well with the grinder attachment, however the stuffer tube option is not good. You need a stuffer so you can fill it with the sausage meat. The Kitchen Aid does not have a way or reservoir to fill so you are continuously filling it while stuffing. You can buy a good unit at...

    Thinking of making sausage

    I use my Kithen Aid mixer with the grinder attachment. Works like a charm. I also use a 5# Gander Mountain suffer and again works well. My favorite book on making sausage is by Rytek Kutas. Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Rytek-Kutas/e/B000API9BC. I have about four books on sausage and...

    Ugh...why won't my country style ribs get tender??

    I cook country style ribs in the oven in beef broth covered for 3-31/2 hours at 275°. Make sure they are at least half covered in broth. Once  cooked, drain all the broth and put more rub on them and bbq sauce if you wish. Put them back in the oven uncovered for the sauce to stick to the ribs...

    Smoked Sausage - Without Nitrites or Nitrates

    I think you will be ok as long as you get the sausage cooked past 140° within 4 hours. Or take them out of the freezer fresh thaw in the frigde and smoke for a few hours then get them thouroully cooked and eat....

    Soy Protein or Dry Milk?

    I use SPC at about  1/2 the rate in the recipe. I does a nice job as a binder. I think it gives the sausage a nice consistency too....RTB..

    roll call on brands of pellet grill

    I too have a REC TEC. Love it. The temp smart grill technology is awesome. Keeps temp spot on the set temperature. They now have a steel folding front shelf available.

    REC TEC has a new front shelf

    Hi All, I see on the REC TEC web site accessory section that they will soon have a folding front shelf. The REC TEC name will be laser cut in the center of the shelf. REC TEC says it will be 12" deep and the width of the pit. It will bolt onto the existing front leg bolt holes. Easy install for...

    The shoulder from hell...

    You just have to go into it knowing it will take two hours per pound. I start at four in the morning or cook all night. Keeping the door shut as much as possible helps too. Looks like it turned our well...Congrats!.............

    what do you do if you discover your sausage is not cooked through after an ice bath?

    Simmering water bath or steam them. Either way, it's the best way to finish them without drying them out. I take my sausage to 152°...RTB....

    Giving a Pork Shoulder Roast a try (Bone in)

    It is going to take a good long time to do that big boy. I would put it on and keep the door closed. Hope you have a Maverick ET-732 temp gauge. rub it down with mustard then put a rub of your choice on it. Preferable the night before so the seasoning gets worked into the meat. I usually inject...
