    Video games?

    Asking Santa for Ninja Gaiden 4. For some odd reason, youngest and I are REALLY into Wii Sports as of late. Got me a chip in Eagle in golf last night.

    Not smoking related so posting here. First time making pot stickers

    NICE! I make "potsticker meatballs" with leftover pork grind. Easy and tasty but still dialing in. Strangely, the key is cabbage. Originally thought it was green onion. I use bagged slaw mix.

    I have a plumbing issue

    Dang was hoping to see you got it off! Not a fan of using the torch for a repair like that. Outside on a car maybe. Add me to the group that says to cut it BUT would try an old car repair trick first. Try tightening it a little THEN loosening. Repeat that back and forth a few times and see...

    My town is pretty small but carries the stuff. Blackened Redfish Magic? There's like 5 or 6 different.

    Homemade Chili + Cinnamon Rolls = WOW

    I get that. Funny the way you say it being a corn cake as it really WAS. Just realized that. You might like this. My Dad tells me the time he was in Nam and was served grits. The southern guys flipped OUT when he put sugar on them. :emoji_laughing:

    Homemade Chili + Cinnamon Rolls = WOW

    Too funny. The people complaining about putting cinnamon in chili are eating cinnamon rolls on the side!!! FYI Those tubed cinn rolls are 1000% better if you let them rise like an hour. Straight into oven is a hard pass here. For me, the best side for chili is corn bread (@luvcatchingbass...

    MES 30 upgrade?

    I got a 40 last year and think the 30 is a toy compared to the 40. No experience on cook size but think 20lbs would be doable. Might take a little more time in the beginning (assuming were talking sausage). 40 I got was used but like new on FB Marketplace $100. SS/door with window/...

    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    That's a DEEP rabbit hole. Been around forever. George Washington's fave. Ran these yesterday. Classic bounce: brandy, clove, sugar.

    Brine a Turkey Breast that's been Brined?

    Yep, this is essentially high school chemistry. Once you embrace it all the confusion/mystery is gone. Scale and metric are the way. I would NOT call a Butterball an pre brined bird. I would call it enhanced. Honestly, as life long eater of them and Honeysuckle Pride, they're really not...

    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    Cherry bounce done as a rye manhattan: Windsor, Cinzano, and a little molasses.

    Mexican Menudo Soup (Pressure Cooker)

    Not against tripe just don't think I could find some around here. Did not see the posole info last time I read this! BOOKMARKED Totally want to run that. So like 5lbs pork butt? Thank you for those REAL spices amounts. I am naturally heavy handed but this is another level or 2 beyond...

    Talk, to, me about Insta pots, please.

    Traditional definitely has merit. Capacity and legit canning ability. There are always commercial ones on FB Marketplace. Total pro screw top ones. Came close to grabbing one. 555 works INSANELY well. Forget deviled eggs, pickled eggs is where it's at. I am getting SUPER geeky with it and...

    Ok more summer sausage Q’s…..

    FANTASTIC cut shot. If you are really into the tang, you have to ferment. Turns out way better than the hacks. Not really hard to do. Oven with light on is great easy way to start.

    Talk, to, me about Insta pots, please.

    IMO worth the price for hard boiled eggs ALONE. 555 method. Makes stellar rice as good as take out chinese joints. Makes wicked good stocks in a fraction of the time. This is gumbo made mostly in IP. I started with a Pop's brined turkey I smoked. Pulled some meat and made stock made with...

    Ok more summer sausage Q’s…..

    +1 That's called landjaeger (German hunter sausage). If you want to try something different, try using brat mix for some of that SS.

    What is the best pellet grill for smoking salmon?

    You really need to have 2 smokers to do this hobby justice. Electric one that does low and slow well for cured stuff like salmon and another like a pellet/stick/kettle that does higher stuff better for ribs/brisket. An argument could be made you need 3 as fish can take over a smoker so having...
