    Hot Dog inquiry

    Where do you get your backfat? When I made my brats they were lacking fat and all I've ever found was suet which, as far as I know, is a no-no for sausage

    Rendering Fat

    I have made some DEE-Licious buckboard bacon and this is probably my 10th time doing so (using pops brine method) and I'm wondering something about the frying.  I have tried what seems like every method and no matter what I do the fat on the bacon just will not render out at all. I'm using boned...

    Alternate "baths" for sausage

    So when I cook bratwurst I like to keep em warm in a beer bath before I toss em on the grill.  This has worked great.  However, tomorrow I'm cooking at a church group and I'm not sure what their reaction would be.  I asked the man in charge about sneaking it in in a different container but on...

    Hot Dog inquiry

    Any advice as for what to do in the mean time? I'm supposed to be providing sausage on thursday.  I could go out and buy a stuffer, but the cheapest one I found was 130.  Any other sausages I could make?

    Hot Dog inquiry

    Crud, Suddenly my plans have hit a giant wall. So the consensus so far (as I'm seeing it) is that even with 2 grinds it will be very difficult to stuff these bad boys.  I should just go buy a stuffer.  I suppose I could.  I do have some extra money floating around (its a big accomplishment for...

    Hot Dog inquiry

    I'm not sure emulsifying is going to be possible come to think of it.  I have a 6 cup food pro and if I'm doing anything more than a couple pounds of dogs I think it will take too long.  Also my stuffer is my grinder.  Not ideal I know but its what I have so I'm concerned that if I emulsify the...

    Hot Dog inquiry

    By hang out I meant the fridge.  And I know the texture won't be the same without emulsifying but I've heard a lot of warnings about it and it just seems easier to avoid that.  I'm pretty smart though (if I do say so myself) so if enough of you say go for it then I'm game.  I have a pretty beefy...

    I need something crazy to make!

    So, I have a couple days off starting tomorrow (hooray holiday weekend!) and I want a crazy snack to make.  I have done ABT's and Fatties and all sorts of goodies but I want something kinda kooky and delicious.  My only parameters are that I can do it within 36 hours and that its delicious. ...

    Ideas For Smoking Some Turkey Legs

    What I've done in the past is to brine them (for some reason I've had bad luck with turkey legs drying out) then rub em down with whatever rub you want on em. Personally I do a "Montreal Chicken" type of a spice or stick to pure salt and pepper.  Then smoke it per usual.  I have also seen...

    Recipe request

    Hey, I have a few questions for ya'll. So the standard smoked beef sausage that is made by the big sausage companies (like hillshire farms etc) taste pretty okay and I was wondering if any of you knew a recipe to mimic that flavor that I could use to make a bulk sausage with. I want my own...

    New to Pastrami and have questions

    I threw mine in a crockpot for 3 or so hours with about half an inch of water in the bottom.  Came out quite nice when sliced thin. It's the closest I could get to steaming and I didn't see Eman's post. Thanks guys!

    New to Pastrami and have questions

    I think the hottest it got is 160ish... I'm not sure because no one was around it from 2:50ish (when it said 160 and was stalled) til about 4:50ish when my Dad got home and said the oven was off and the probe was reading 140. So re-bake it up to 180?

    New to Pastrami and have questions

    So, I started a Pastrami from a packaged corned beef this morning.  At 2:30 I was at 160 F and was deep into a stall.  I had to throw it in the oven (and as luck would have it the trusty oven probe wasn't working) at 200 F and hope my Pops would get to it in 2ish hours. It got pulled out with...

    Lowes Gift Cards

    Well, turns out they were hiding them.  I went with my girlfriend to look at grills and the person behind the counter must be a bit more tech savvy because she found me a 33" Masterforge Electric at another store.  I was like 25 miles from my house but hey, I got it for free! Thanks for your...

    Lowes Gift Cards

    Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Home Depot or Lowes as companies but the ones around me do a good job with hiring and the people are generally helpful. Although I like lowes a bit more because I've had fewer issues there.  I also only really go there for a few small parts (I do a lot of minor...
