    The return - Getting ready for smoking

    I have this model and I bring it to Michigan for deer hunting. I monitor the temps from the deer blind. But I haven't fully tested the 1.24 mile claim. Maybe 3/4-1 mile or so. We rode around on the side by side over the entire 100 acre property. I only lost signal in 1 far back corner. And this...

    A chicken idea

    As long as the "Hawaiian style" doesn't have Hi-C fruit punch involved, I'M IN!!!

    Replacement for Viking 54" Outdoor Gas Range

    Do you need / want 54"? That's a big a** grill, and it's easier to trim it out and make the hole smaller than it is to make it bigger.

    Made some beef tallow

    I think "Happy and Fat" is what keeps me going now. It's the "Old" part that I give the middle finger to on a daily basis.

    King Mattress

    "Testing out" a mattress in the store is complete BS. You don't have the time to get a good feel for how it's actually going to work for you over an 8 hr night. I do some travel for work and man, that has to be the best way to "shop" for a mattress. If you have the opportunity take a trip stay...

    Yay...The Freezer

    Question for those choosing upright over chest freezers. Aren't most (or all) uprights frost-free? Meaning they have a defrost cycle to keep the frost levels down? When I was shopping this seemed to be the theme so I went with a chest. I didn't want my food continuously warming and cooling...

    Small batch Sourdough

    Dang! Y'all making me use Google now! I stumbled across a site dedicated to making sour dough and they offered free starter culture. What the heck? It's free, right! Should be coming in the mail soon. Honestly, don't even know if I'll use it. Bread making is one of those things that sounds...

    Long Brisket Hold Times

    There's a guy on YouTube who basically made the world's biggest sous vide out of a chest freezer. His life goal is to replicate Aaron Franklin's brisket. I want to say he holds brisket for 24 hrs in it. Longest I've personally done is about 8 hrs in a cooler, and it was one the best dang hunks...

    Mango wood good to use or not

    Never smoked with it, don't have any first hand experience. What I know is that the skin of mangos can be irritating to some people. Oils and such... I have a friend who can't even be in the same house with a mango. I seriously thought she was full of ***t and overly dramatic when she told me...

    Not bad for $5

    I absolutely LOVE the self-inflicted purchase of a new one!! I need to remember and practice that in the future.

    Not bad for $5

    Thanks guys! And you're right. FL deer don't have any size to them. I hunt a friend's property up in Saranac, MI. He's got ~100 acres and a group of 5-6 of us get together every year up there. I was only able to bring about 10 lbs of meat back in my luggage but he'll be driving down to FL in the...

    Not bad for $5

    Got a bit lucky this season and this fellow walked right in front of me on opening day. 10 point. Not sure of the weight but I got about 65 lbs. of meat from the processor (temps were too warm for us to hang and cut up ourselves). My buddies convinced me to go down and enter it into the town's...

    Fermenting Olives

    I didn't know this was possible. I thought lye was always used for olives.

    Chili - Beans or No Beans

    FYI, chili con carne translates to "chili with meat". I have no strong opinion either way but beans cooked in all that deliciousness are dang good. Given a choice I would go WITH beans but I ain't turning either one away.

    how clean for grilling grats?

    Look at your local hardware store for one of these. Cement mixing tray. Find one that will fit your grates and add the cleaning solution of your choice. Maybe follow up with a pressure washer. $10-$20, and worth every penny.

    Is it safe?

    Marathon Man. If you know, you know... So a few weeks back I made some Canadian Bacon. I'm confident in the cure (thanks to diggingdogfarm calculator), smoked to 145-150, rest in the fridge for 2 days, then vac sealed and into the deep freeze at -10F. Last Saturday (8 days ago) I took a package...

    Beans beans and more beans

    One of my earliest memories is having some 3 Bean Salad that our neighbor made from his garden. Yellow, green, and I think kidney (red) beans?? Along with other deliciousness. I have searched for that flavor the past 45+ years! Think I stole 2 jars from the fridge and hid in my room for a...
