    Affordable Cooking Pellets

    I stopped using BBQ delite pellets. No flavor, lots of ash. Just FYI

    Pig cooker/grill

    I would recommend a heavy duty grate cut to fit a few inches above the bottom of the tank.  Your coals go on the grate, and hot ashes fall onto the bottom of the tank - much less worry about burning through than actual hot coals on the bottom - plus, it lets you get an air flow under the coals...

    I had another idea for you.  See if you can find an industrial paint/powder coating company in your area.  Take one of the panels from the freezer to them.  They should be able to tell you quickly if it is galvanized AND if there is a coating you can apply that will protect your food from...

    Look at the finish - look for shiny & crystalline or rough finish.  You are concerned with the internal panels. Below image is the typical look, but I have seen large walk-in freezers build with galvanized and painted panels

    Need some help!!!

    I would not want any chromium gassing out and getting on my food. that is the really toxic stuff.  Zinc (the main material used to galvanize metals) is actually good for you in small amounts.  It is only toxic in large quantities, but the real issue I would watch out for is the stuff the Zinc...

    Need some help!!!

    There are 2 main methods to galvanize metal; 1) hot dip galvanizing and 2) electrogalvanizing. Hot dip galvanizing gives the large, kinda blochy crystal structure or pattern that is most readily identified as galvanized metal. Think of steel culverts as an example. Electro-galvanizing is very...

    favorite hot sauce

    Chipotle flavored Tabasco is my general purpose favorite. (absolutely fantastic on smoky Mac & Cheese!) I like Franks Original and Buffalo sauces for wings I use Sriracha on lots of things as a general additive. Dang - my mouth is watering now!

    Health Warning For Wire Brushing Your Grates

    I let my grates cool off, then take them out and lean them up against the fence in the yard - my dog loves to lick it clean and is great at getting the crusty stuff off.  Then I throw them back on and cook the next meal.  (Kidding - I do a soap and water clean after the doggy grate washer!)

    Simple Box oven for cooking whole pigs (and other critters)

    we used to invite some WEBELOS to join us for this feast weekend.  My older scouts would start arguing over who was going to get to eat the tongue because it was the best part.  Of course the younger kids would get into the discussion and start begging to try it.  The older boys would...

    Simple Box oven for cooking whole pigs (and other critters)

    Well, we Antelopes have a few tricks up our sleeves! :-)  I used to teach my scouts dutch oven cooking as follows; I would get a variety of meats, rice, pasta, vegi's, sauces, herbs and spices and lay them all out.  Each patrol selects one representative to be their cook.  The cooks reported to...

    Simple Box oven for cooking whole pigs (and other critters)

    Good suggestions.  It would be cheaper, but the one downside would be the storage space.  By not saving the large panels, I just pack up the wood frame (which is bolted together for easy disassembly) and it stores in a very small space.

    Simple Box oven for cooking whole pigs (and other critters)

    I was asked by some folks to put together a post on an above-ground box oven I have built many times to cook whole pigs - here goes! A friend of mine taught me this way to cook whole critters back in Pittsburgh, PA over 20 years ago. I’ve cooked dozens since then and built (and re-built) this...
