    Cleaning Rust

    Not sure it's worth the effort to keep a shiny fire box. Paint or oils will not last so rust will just occur again. If you really need to satisfy your OCD then wire brush on drill then naval jelly.

    New Restaurant

    And I thought you were proclaiming that you were going to give up smoke meats to be a vegetarian :emoji_laughing:

    Blender

    I have both a Vitamix at home & a Blendtec at my office. If I had to do it again, both would be Vitamix blenders. It just makes a better smoothie as far as chopping ice into finer bits.

    Window shopping at or under $700

    I would like me a widow also, preferably filthy rich & one who doesn't mind me having a girlfriend. Just kidding of course. Lol. Back to the real question at hand, how big a smoker you need and do you also expect to grill on it?

    Drying Flat Pancetta in Casing

    If you roll it up, it must be tied tight otherwise any air gaps will develop mold. You can use sheets of cheese cloth instead of casing, as long as you roll it so that the fat is on the outside to slow down the drying.

    Thin blue smoke, possible?

    Try running the smoker empty for 20 minutes with the wood in before placing meat in the cooker. I find that usually works well on my Cookshack

    Hand Made Casings

    I'm betting these were not labeled just to give the border boys a challenge.

    KJ Kettle Joe First Impressions and Cooks

    Did you need to do anything to the ribs to keep them moist? Did the grill dry them out more than a smoker would?

    Advice for a new cooker toy?

    Quite frankly, giving up the BGE because of space & size then getting another piece that takes the same amount of space does not make sense. I would think it makes more sense to keep the Smokin-It, BGE & the Blackstone then get rid of the gasser. Sounds like this would cover more bases...

    Not many ceramics it seems?

    Yeah, but how many here can wait 20 years before buying their next grill or smoker?

    Upgrade my Traeger to What?

    No, but I've have been doing a lot of research for the last 3-4 weeks and ordered one yesterday. I sent you a Private Message.

    Upgrade my Traeger to What?

    If you're looking at a P&S 1250 price why not also look at a Mak?

    Advice on what Grinder to purchase

    Well, I guess it has to be taken into perspective,.... when I process the pork butt, grind, mix and stuff anywhere from 60-80lbs of pork for dry cured sausage as a one person team I prefer not to spend time rolling into rolls, balls or constantly feeding small chunks into the feeder. I t just...

    Advice on what Grinder to purchase

    I agree....feeding once ground meat into a #12 throat is not much fun nor as easy as a #22, I'm betting the #8 throat size would be even less fun.

    Went hunting with my ELECTRONIC CANNON....

    Looks effective, but I'm sure the Coyotes around my area would feast on the easy pickings. Then I'll have a Coyote problem.

    Vac Sealer Recommendations?!?

    After ruining a Foodsaver from getting wet and also having to wait for the second machine to cool before I could finish packing some food, I went with a VacMaster 215 and never looked back. The commercial units allow for a high rate of packing w/o shut down due to heat.
