    New Smoker From Buffalo New York

    Welcome to the site, metalmanbuffalo. Please tell us more about the handle. My wife and I grew up in Elma and Amherst respectively. We had a farm outside Auburn for 20 years before "retiring" to our place in Pinnacle, NC. Where in the B'lo area are you? @Inscrutable, where in NC are you?

    Doing this one thing while making sausages can KILL you, please STOP! "2 guys and a cooler"

    Hmm.... Unless your taste testing multiple batches of cured sausage daily this would seem to be a great example of pole vaulting over a mouse turd. Lance

    how long will spices hold up when stored

    There's no need to paint the jars. Just store them on a cool dark place like a kitchen cabinet, basement, closet etc and you'll be fine. So what sausage are you making in such quantities? Lance

    how long will spices hold up when stored

    Cal, what kind of sausage are you making? I'm not sure if the seasoning you are referring to has the salt already added to it which would make for a lot more bulk than the spices alone would have but we've used vacuum sealed canning jars for years to store spices, cures and other dry food...

    Syracuse Casing Company Inc.

    Just a bit of "full disclosure" here but our farm was a half hour from Syracuse Casings and they "comped" me casings and discount coupons on several occasions for sausage making demos at sportsman's shows and similar events. They've been my go-to source for hog and sheep casings since I...

    Finding propane tanks

    I have one 120 gallon tank awaiting a suitable project that was next to a house that burned. It got hot enough to vent the tank and scorch the side of the tank and it has a drizzled frosting of melted asphalt from the roof shingles but is otherwise OK. As I have four other tanks I may just...

    New build completed…amost!

    I like that overlay door a bunch. It has enough room for a fair size window so I'll have to give that some thought.

    Favorite end of a ribeye for a standing roast?

    Hello. Nate I hope this helps and that it doesn't come across like Charlie Brown's teacher's "Wah,wah, wah!". As a general rule, the few weeks around Christmas and the New Year are the best time of year to stock up on rib roasts as pretty much every store chain except Walmart will offer them...

    New build completed…amost!

    Ahh. I have the Multimatic 255 and really like it but still want to be better at outside corners in 1/4" plate before I'm comfortable tackling long joints as visible as the firebox and cook chamber end plates. When you have a few minutes I'd be grateful for some insight into your parameters and...

    New build completed…amost!

    Good morning, Chad and welcome from North Carolina. That's some nice work you've done there. Is that a Millermatic 255 in the background? And is that what you welded this with?

    50% code for Inkbird Instant read meat thermometer----$9.99 get one

    Thanks. Interestingly, it wouldn't show up in Firefox (my default browser) but did in Microsoft Edge off to the right edge of the item display. The first link on Inkbird's original post only takes me to page of nothing but shopping suggestions based on past purchases.

    I don't know what is happening but I tried two different browsers (Firefox and Chrome) and neither one shows a 30% discount coupon or anything like one. I guess I'll wait and see what happens next business week......

    Smoker Build in Progress. (Pic. Heavy)

    That's some really nice looking work on a good looking smoker. I'm a little concerned though that you might need a few more rolls of wire. Looking at those stacks of wire in the picture of the in-progress grate make me think you are going to run out before the project is through Oh, and you...
