    Stick burner Wood identification

    Looks like oak to me. I can see thou that some of it was starting to get rotten around the outside edge. I have had some of my oak do that.

    Diy pellet conversions

    I have thought about putting a Smoke Daddy hopper on a upright masterbilt cabinet smoker. But I have held off.

    Traeger 780 Pro

    I would just scrape/brush the heavy stuff, the I would just fire that 780 up as HOT as it will go. Then let it burn off for a 1/2hour or 1hour long.

    Junk foodsaver quart bags?

    Yeah I carried 1 of my hog leg 45 colts a couple weeks ago while hiking. I forget just how heavy a 6 six shooter can get when walking for miles. Lmao I better go see if these Walmart food saver bags will vac down properly.

    Junk foodsaver quart bags?

    Yeah that is what is frustrating. These are not the best bags, but dang they were still expensive for what they are. Bet I don't buy them again. Yeah that vac sealer is brand new & with these bags. It like the machine don't even work. They don't even try to vac down. They are thicker bags...

    Junk foodsaver quart bags?

    Guys & gals I broke down & bought me a vac sealer to save more on food & to preserve my foods. Is there a dang reason why these bags don't vac & seal. Out of the 12 1quart bags I used ONLY 3 of them actually vacuumed down & sealed. Is there something I'm missing or are these just junk bags...

    Un-cased beef snack sticks.

    Yeah my store still has paper bags, but they only give them out when you buy ice cream. If you want paper bags only at my store they charge you for them unless you buy ice scream.

    Un-cased beef snack sticks.

    Thanks. Yeah a day in the fridge in a bag or even a day in vac seal bag makes a huge difference on texture sometimes. When I make whole muscle strip jerky, I have notice that.

    Un-cased beef snack sticks.

    Well took me 8hrs to smoke these snack sticks. Most of them temped at 152°-153°f IT. Few of the sticks temped at 149°-151°f time I got to them with temp probe. Hopefully they will be OK. I seem to got a good smoke on them & they taste great. I'm happy.

    Un-cased beef snack sticks.

    It is a internal temp of 152°-153°f for snack sticks isn't it? I think that's right.

    Un-cased beef snack sticks.

    Yeah I had to put about 10 snack sticks in the main chamber to smoke & they cooked too quick. Was only in cooker for 2-2.5hours. They hit a IT of 155°-159°f before I caught them. They are good, but not enough smoke.

    Smoked dried peppers? Questions?

    Thanks everybody. The other thing I read is: Jalapenos with the white cracks/lines wether they are red or green usually hold the most heat. Spicier!

    Smoked dried peppers? Questions?

    I learned something tonight. I did not realize that ripe red jalapenos when smoked are called chipotles. Dang learn something all the time.
