    Air Fryer Testing

    My wife brought me one of these a few years back and I was not too keen to use it for a while but when I did I was quite surprised. I have the pull out tray model and chips (fries) are the main thing I cook in it but I've cooked a multitude of food in it and have had no complaints so far. Been...

    Stolen smoker from NE Philadelphia

    Yeah I'm hearing ya Gr0uch0, I make a bit of shine, or as we call it "nectar of the Gods", and some low life decided my nectar was better than none and helped themselves. That sorta got under this old farts skin a bit so I decided to teach them a lesson. I set them up nicely with a beautiful...

    Stolen smoker from NE Philadelphia

    I simply can not believe that some low life would steal another's lively hood. With something as large as this and recognisable as this they would have to park it up out of sight and then WHAT?. I'm no detective but I'd put money on it being a professional job by a rival company/smokehouse...

    First Bacon - Pops Brine Method - FINALLY DONE GREAT STUFF

    Driedstick or Cranky Buzzard can either of you tell me if one can freeze the brine in the zip lock bag for use at a later date for weighing down?. Personal experience has taught me that brine mixed today, and refrigerated, can be used at a later date for brining, time period was approximately...

    8 Point Buck-Burgers (with Sweet Tater Fries)

    Bear, I read your posts and drool. As we don't do the venison thing down here, as much as you guys do over there, I hardly see it and when I do I have to buy it from a butcher. Your buck burgers have set me in motion and I will be looking to buy the three meats to combine for these wonderful...

    It's a sad sad day at my house!

    Being an Aussie I don't know what this stuff is but I assume your loss would be a kin to me breaking a half gal. bottle of Rum I made in 2004. I feel your pain. Cheers from Down Under

    From Hog Leg to Easter Ham!

    Once again I have read this post to make sure I've got it right, have taken notes along the way to be sure, to be sure, to be sure. Pop's it's great to see that you have taken the time and initiative to pass on this tradition, not only to strangers but to your family above all. Cheers from...

    From Hog Leg to Easter Ham!

    Pop, I know this was posted quite some time ago but this forum is massive and every now and again one comes across exactly what one is looking for and this is one of those times. I have just started down this line of curing and this could not have come at a better time, I will now go back and...

    Curing a fresh ham

    A little advice from someone who has just done his first cure-smoke-ham. Whatever wet brine you use (Pop's is best) make sure you heed the time in the brine, do exactly what the instructions say. I left mine in too long and ended up with a beautiful looking salty, salty, salty ham. I won't...

    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

    Hey Atomic Dog, make the Bearcarver your friend and learn dry curing as well. I've only been around a short while but I use both Pop's  for wet and the Bears for dry curing, Pop's for leg & shoulder hams and Bear's dry for belly and small pieces of meat. Like everyone else I've had to contact...

    Fish & Shrimp

    Talking my language now Bear, except for the pie this is a regular meal at my place. The Missus loves anything crumbed but won't eat prawns/shrimps without being crumbed. Cheers from Down Under.

    Pineapple, Mango, Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce

    Sounds like a super charged version of the Mango sauce I make down under, I'll have to give this a go the next time I'm in the sauce making mode. I freeze mangos each year along with other fruit that I use for sauces and chutneys, my brother has a small orchard and fruit's a plenty. Thanks for...
