    Best Meat Slicer for Bacon and/or Brisket

    Had my Avantco for just over a year now, just sliced up 11 lbs of bacon last night and 2 whole pork loins (Canadian Bacon) last month. It still runs like a champ. FYI, I always break it down completely when cleaning it. I find it more reassuring to have the knife off when wiping down the unit...

    Beef Grading

    Here's a link to an oldish article by food critic/historian extraordinaire Robb Walsh, what with some recent activity about Prime Rib and meat grading. It's worth the read IMHO... http://www.austinchronicle.com/food/1996-10-18/525425/ Also here is a fine power point presentation from Texas...

    Picnic Ham

    I actually let it go to 158 and it turned out better than I thought it would. I was shooting for 160 as this was my first attempt. After my wife looked at the bone end she pronounced it DONE. It sliced up very well. Next time I'm getting a real ham. Picnics just don't have a lot of meat. Pops...

    Rib Roast

    Actually Scarbelly I was trying to point out that I'm using the SmokinTex 1400 like a cook & hold commercial oven like this. http://products.alto-shaam.com/c-1-cook-hold-ovens.aspx?locale=en-US I do excellent BBQ but to me, a slow roasted prime rib served w/ fiery horseradish and a good jus is...

    Picnic Ham

    Thanks for the reply. I will be hot smoking at 200 to an internal of 155. I guess my fundamental question is will one gallon of a given brine containing salt, pink salt and a sweetener cure a hunk of meat the same whether 7 lbs, 10 lbs 15 lbs etc.

    Picnic Ham

    This is my first attempt at a "ham". Even though it's a picnic. Using Ruhlman's book and basing it on the American-Style Brown Sugar Glazed Holiday Ham recipe. My question focuses on the fact that it calls for a 12-15 lb ham- aitch removed. My picnic is 7.43 lbs, bone in. I will be injecting...

    Best Meat Slicer for Bacon and/or Brisket

    I like my Avantco, but wish I'd spent more and got the Berkel 12". As to cleaning, I break the whole thing down after every use. Took some doing to remove the 3 phillips screws the very first time, but now they unscrew easily.

    I Finally Saw the Blue!

    many BBQers will dedicate a grill or other device to burn down wood in, to literally shovel coals into the pit as needed.

    Prime Rib vs Rib Eye

    I'm glad to see Chef Lock uses Herbs de Provence as do I along with cracked Black Pepper, Kosher Salt, granulated garlic, a touch of Lawrey's Season Salt and a hint of Cayenne. I rub the beast with peanut oil or EVOO and season heavily. I slow roast at 225 or 250 in the smoker or in the oven on...

    Help with tweaking my skills please

    Heavy white smoke eh? Have you ever experienced any slight numbness on the tip of you tongue after eating your 'cue? If so, that's from the incomplete combustion represented by heavy white smoke. Also soaking the wood on occasion, don't know about that. You are getting positive feedback so...
