    Here in NE Florida the Walmart packer price was about $2.30/Lb but recently it’s been $3.50/Lb. Ridiculous!

    Question on Kettle grill quality

    I always meant to make some custom wood handles but it's just one of the thousands of things That I never got to. Probably because I never remember them until I go to lift the lid and have to look for a towel or gloves. BTW: the jinx hit me with this discussion. I went to use the grill for some...

    Question on Kettle grill quality

    Another Weber fan here. You may have to replace the cooking grid after several years but they aren't that expensive. No pics but I have 4 of them in various sizes. They're my go to cooker for any direct grilling. The only thing negative with the newer ones is the cheap composite handle. The...

    Which stick burner to buy??

    It's a day's drive from your area to Nahunta, GA for a new Lang. A day down and a day back with one night in a reasonable hotel is way better than $550. They will add sales tax though if you pick it up in GA.

    Trouble Loading the Casings

    Thanks for the help folks. I read the thread about how to handle natural casings and thought I had it down. Apparently my skills and techniques need some work. A 32 mm casing is supposed to be about 1 1/2 inches so I guess the 32mm OD tube is too big for that size casing. I'll continue to use...

    Trouble Loading the Casings

    I just made the first batch of sausage using the Hakka. All went OK except loading the casings on the tube. I used some 32~35mm natural hog casings from Academy and they would not go on the 32mm tube. 32mm is the OD of the SS tube. I reviewed several videos and read through the thread about...

    Please advise

    Thanks Al. Of course we're probably gonna get beat up whining about a winter that's been too warm during the big freeze that's going on up north now.

    Please advise

    Al, How do you manage to cold smoke down in Sebring? Do you have some special rig so the smoker stays cool enough or do you limit your cold smoking to the winter months? That is if you ever see real winter temps down there. Here in the NE Florida area winter skipped us except for just a few days.

    Sucklebusters Chili

    You betcha! Buttermilk cornbread is my plan tonight. And I only use real butter, not margarine on the cornbread. Top the chili with some course shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Maybe some celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side. Come on ice cream in the morning!!

    GETTING YOUR RF OR SF UP TO TEMP QUICKLY

    Just go easy with the weed burner on the expanded metal cooking grates. Too much and they start to sag. I didn't ruin them but they had a severe low spot after the weed burner degunking burn

    Sucklebusters Chili

    I ordered some of their chili seasoning and just made a big pot the other day. Each packet is supposed to be good for 2# of meat. I intended to use 4# of meat so I used one packet each of their Texas Chili and Ghost Pepper Chili. I ended up with 2# of smoke brisket flat cut into 1/2 “ cubes...
