    First timer bacon questions

    The firmer the better, -an hour or so probably. I like to rotate out chunks and slice as I go. When one gets too soft I throw it back in the freezer and grab another.

    Thinking of trying my hand at Sausage ....advice????

    Go to amazon and buy a Kitchener grinder for $100. I tried the ka and it was worthless. Over an hour to do 10lbs. Kitchener will do it in about 10 min. Start there with fresh patties or crumbled. If you like those then buy a stuffer. I have a 5lb Lem I got for just over $100. It's so easy to...

    A-MAZEN and MES Issues

    Pellets don't work for me in my MES at 6200 ft above sea level. Todd was great in helping me out - even sent me a tube to try. None of them worked. Todd sent me a bunch of dust as a replacement for my pellets. Great customer service!

    Resturant Depot

    I love that place. Only place around here to get pork bellies at a reasonable price. Great deals on shrimp, canned crab meat, butts, briskets, and bulk spices.

    burnt ends

    Smoke the brisket as normal. Separate the point from the flat. Cube the point into 1" cubes. Add additional rub and sauce and return to the smoker at a slightly higher temp for a few hours. Here are some I made tonight:

    Brisket/Chicken Smoke

    Normally you want to cook chicken at a much higher temp than brisket. An option would be to brine the chicken, put it in for an hour or so to get some smoke flavor then finish it on the grill with sauce of your choice.

    Looking to buy a Grinder

    I have a Northern Tool/ Kitchener #12 and it works awesome. Just over $100 too. I'm sure you can get better grinders for more money but this thing rocks compared to my kitchenaid.

    Jumping into the Bacon Arena - Now with Q-View

    You can put pellets in a pan and add some water- give them a day or two in good dry heat and they will convert to dust and dry out. Works great in a pinch. You can also microwave the dust to get more moisture out.
