    Need some cajun gumbo help

    Been awhile since I bought any but Kroger is where I got it from last, they have a pretty good variety these days. Also use to sell a powdered rue also, there are some commercial brands that can be found also in resealable glass jars so you can use what you need and maybe get a couple cooks out...

    Need some cajun gumbo help

    I actually prefer a lighter rue, it can get bitter if not careful trying to make the perfect batch, I like to make rue with butter most of the time but seen a lot of folks say they only use it to make seafood dishes

    Freezing Meats???

    The only thing I don't vac is ground meat, large items tend to freezer burn less, I will pull out steaks or roasts thaw and grind. I have been vac sealing for probably 25 years, 2-4+ deer a year, meat is still good 2-3 years if vac not lost.

    Leave prime rib out until room temp before cooking?

    You all ever heard of 140/4 hours just saying, i season the day before and straight from the fridge to smoker. Setting thick items out for a couple hours might not raise the internal temperature very much.

    Alternative to filling propane tank with water ?

    Propane will lay in the bottom and might take quite awhile to leach out of the tank, propane is heavier than air.

    Alternative to filling propane tank with water ?

    A radiator shop owner I use to know would run exhaust fumes into gas tanks while he welded them up if he had to patch a leak. I ain't that brave but he died at a very old age and it wasn't by blowing up :emoji_laughing:

    Christmas rib roast: smoke or no smoke?

    Good beef and seasonings do not require burnt spices to be great. Maybe try it sometime when it's not a big holiday. Always smoke mine.
