    New years ideas

    How about some chilli with pulled pork or brisket in it. Just think of the slow cooker as a warming pan. As long as you have some liquids in the bottom you could put anything smoked in it. Your wife may not be happy but you win!

I would be inclined to give her the second slice in from the end and finish it on a grill pan. Also,think about serving time you...

    non steel barrel

    Hey Tom, They are thin and use the ribs and end for strength I have seen several with dents from handling. A saws-all with a metal blade is just a power hack saw going faster than you can do by hand. Be careful burning the alcohol if there's any liquid left it burns with a light blue flame that...

    Building a small pig only abattoir - how many cold rooms do I need

    These are my thoughts and questions  How big are your hogs ?   if you are looking at 240 to 260 pound live hogs you will probably need 2 feet of track per hog to hang and let air flow around them to cool. I would hang a few and measure the width of them.  How long will you let them hang ? if...
