    Grinding deer meat, die size?

    your large cuts of meat will stay better frozen than ground, Its very rare I grind much until I need it, no brisket fat this year as Kroger didn't have any sales this summer.

    What is the best pellet grill for smoking salmon?

    Electric for low temp smokes, if I propped the lid up on my pellet smoker it would run away on temps trying to keep the temps at set point, any opening of the lid makes mine kick the heat on, it runs really well to the set temps, not sure what's the lowest any will run but outside temp effects...

    Ground meat jerky

    Well I have never ground 2 times , texture might have a lot to do with type of meat ground and fat content , I do a lot of deer jerky some years and no added fat

    What went wrong?

    I would guess undercooked, change 1 thing at a time so you know what works what doesn’t, baby backs can vary a lot in weight these days so a set 5 hours ain’t always true depending on pit temp, a remote therm is a really nice thing to have when you are trying new smokers meats or methods.

    Bought a grill for church - big cook tomorrow - warm up

    I bought 1 of those grills about a year or so ago, works well, I been known to throw a log on it and cook/smoke something on the other side or the top rack. hard to do with my Weber kettle, the short distance between racks limits stuff you can do but is still a grilling machine.

    Are Kroger Grocery Store Meat and Seafood Prices Better Lately?

    Picked up a pack of the Smithfield bacon a couple weeks ago and so salty I couldn't eat it, they didn't have the $1.99 brisket sale this year, hopefully they will do the Prime rib sales around the holidays.

    Nighttime Grill Lighting

    I put a Blink flood lite up at my back door, lots of light as it has 2 heads, liked it so much put 1 on the front, auto on with movement means I can go out the door and it pops on and you can set as to how long it stays lit. tried a lot of lights and such and use a lot of head band types still.
