    Really, really cold smoked bacon question

    I’m gifting some of the bacon to friends - assuming I like the taste. If it isn’t USDA ‘safe’, I don’t want my first attempts going to others. So it will be a smoke and cook or a smoke while cooking. I don’t really have use for 12 lbs on my own, but friends love bacon too. I’m also asking...

    Need to buy a multipurpose thermometer

    Hi all, I have a Weber Grill which I hope to use for smoking, a Masterbuilt 30" which I just bought and a kitchen oven. I'd like to have a thermometer 'kit' which will give me several meat and ambient probes. Best case I'd like to have a probe in the turkey in the oven and one in meat on the...
