    321 spare ribs under cooked

    definitely needed more heat, didn't even get to break down the brown sugar in spots. also, if some ribs are particularly meaty compared to normal, or have more fat in the cut, cooking times, and even temps (if you want to render more of the hard fat) can change.

    Bellies to bacon!

    yikes! great looking bacon-smoke, but the wildfires thing scares me. In Michigan we've been blessed (and at times over-blessed) with rainfall the last several years. some flooding and the great lakes returning to higher levels have been the outcomes (including flooding of my house, which was a...

    http://www.realcanadianbacon.com/pork-tenderloin/press/The_real_deal_Authentic_Canadian_bacon_isn't_what_most_Americans_think_it_is.htm someone probably brought the idea or smoked product from england home with them, and called it Canadian bacon, name stuck.

    BBQ stuffed burgers w/ Q view

    i didn't think i'd like stuffed burgers, but the patty press i just bought recently has a stuffed option. I put sauteed shrooms and cheese in it, and they were freaking awesome!

    either bacon or crispy.... if you just slow cook it, I'm not a big fan of the texture.

    Costco belly 07/05/15

    just got back from Madison heights store... they have them at 2.29/lb. picked one up that I'm going to smoke on sunday and finish in the oven to crisp it up. seems like they are now stocking briskets and pork bellies, which is good for me as I find myself in Costco for other stuff every month.

    Did you see it at the Madison Heights one? Last time I was there I looked and couldn't find belly, but they did have briskets which they didn't use to carry.

    Storing hog casings

    butcher-packer, last I looked, had really good prices on hanks compared to nearly anyone else. I can always go there and pick up in person rather than ship which is always nice, since shipping is a real cost for anything that needs to be cold. kind of a neat store, as they definitely service the...

    just put one medium, one small butterflied shoulder on the cure. simple 1/2oz of TQ and 1.25 tsp per pound brown sugar. I'll add maple syrup to the big one in a couple days, and add LOTS of coarse ground black pepper to the other one also. have them in big ziplocs in the fridge. will flip daily...

    Some more buckboard bacon in process starting today. Flavor Suggestions?

    ugh, in looking at the roasts, only one was really suitable for BBB..... so I will have to thaw out another one I have in the freezer or maybe swing by their other market to get a nice big whole one at that price (most of the ones at their smaller market were cut in half, if not thirds).

    Going to pick up a couple pork shoulders and make some more variations of buckboard bacon. Going to do a couple varieties, going to add maple syrup to one, coarse black pepper to another. Any suggestions for other variations? And as a bonus, our local market has great looking shoulders for...

    smoked drunk chicken

    looks great. maybe throw it on the grill for a short period of time to crisp up the skin a bit following the smoke. I'm probably going to be doing one myself in a couple days as the all natural roasters are on sale for .99/lb and I'm going to pick a couple up. second thought, I may do the beer...
