    Linking out a sausage

    @nepas  - I tried this recently but I couldn't keep them from coming untwisted. I didn't think to use skewers or chopsticks...

    The Secret Red Smoking Paste

    You say, "When they cut off a slice of meat they were sure to brush on some of the red paste."  & "They said it would spoil the meat if the paste was left off." I assume you are carving a piece off of a larger slab of meat and the paste is put on the cut surface of the remaining slab. Is this...

    VacMaster Pro 275? Or something else?

    As far as I can tell, the only difference between the 350 and the 380 is the length of the sealing bar (12" vs 16" respectively). Correct?

    Linking out a sausage

    I'll have to give that I try. I always leave extra space in the casing at the far end (if you will), but leaving it open-ended sounds more effective.

    VacMaster Pro 275? Or something else?

    I took it apart last night and the heating wire seems fine. I can't find any open circuits or burnt components. If I had a circuit diagram, I might be able to do more troubleshooting. That said, I've been cussing about this thing for quite awhile. I don't know if I WANT to fix it!

    VacMaster Pro 275? Or something else?

    My FoodSaver Professional II just burned out the heating wire, so apparently I'm in the market for a new vacuum sealer. Has anyone purchased the new VacMaster Pro 275 yet? If so, what do you think? Or should I just suck it up and go for the 350 or 380? Or are there other recommendations? I...

    Linking out a sausage

    I'm not very good at doing it by eye, so I actually use a spoon as a measuring device. I still get more variation than I'd prefer, but I'm getting better!

    Pops breakfast sausage question

    There is a huge variation in density between different forms of salt - even between different brands of Kosher salt. For the salts that I have in my pantry: Diamond Crystal Kosher - 2.8 grams per teaspoon Kroger Private Selection Fine Mediterranean Sea Salt - 5.6 grams per teaspoon Table...

    grill cleaning

    You can try PBW (Powdered Brewery Wash) or OxyClean on the grates or other components that you can remove and fit in a tub. I use PBW to soak my smoker racks and such and they come out sparkling clean. (I am a homebrewer, so I have it on hand, but it is easy to buy online or at a local homebrew...

    WiFi Thermometer Choices

    Range isn't the same type of issue with WiFi as it is with Bluetooth. As long as the thermometer is within your WiFi footprint, then it doesn't matter where you are - you're phone app connects via the internet. Big difference from RF or Bluetooth.

    Fatty Serving Question

    If you have a lot of cheese, some rest is useful so that it doesn't just ooze out...

    WiFi Thermometer Choices

    Yeah. I'd like to know as well... ThermoWorks Smoke specs say, "COMING 2017 - Smoke Gateway (Wi-Fi) & Smartphone App" Depending on what they charge, that might me a good option.

    Yep. Sounds like you are pulling out early. Never as satisfying when you do that...

    Pork loin with a Mexican mole-inspired rub (with pictures!)

    I definitely need to get some of the dehydrated lime. Thanks! I have dried cilantro, but it has next to no flavor so I rarely use it...

    June 2017 Throwdown!!! BURGER BLOWOUT!!!!

    I might still be able to get to it, but Father's Day is a homebrew club meeting and I have to cook for that! The family doesn't like adventurous burgers, so this would have to just be for me...

    160 gallon RF trailor build

    That seems more reasonable! Have you run the calculations?

    160 gallon RF trailor build

    Looks good so far, except I'm curious if the opening between the firebox and cooking chamber is big enough...

    Pork loin with a Mexican mole-inspired rub (with pictures!)

    It was 3.75 pounds and I used all of it, although probably applied more heavily than you would with a chicken (especially since I scored the fat cap and filled up the crevices), so you could probably make it work for a five pound bird. I would've liked to squeeze a bit of lime juice on it when...

    Why Not a Real Temp-Regulator?

    Yeah, you can get a PID controller with a solid state relay. You can use it with on/off control on a short cycle or with a proportional output, with or without the PID control. I do that with my mash tun and hot liquor tank on my homebrew (beer) system.
