    manual jerky slicer on sale

    Bought one with a couple of Cabela, s gift cards from work so it cost me 8 bucks after taxes. Used it today and it does a good job. You have to trim the pieces to leave a good half inch on the sides of the feed tube but after figuring that out I did 5 lbs real quick. Will be throwing it on...

    Counter top Pickles

    With the vinegar and salt there is very little chance of anything too nasty growing in them, so they should stay safe

    Whats your favorit scotch, rye, whisky or burbon.

    The right glass with any drink can make a big difference. On business in Australia about 10 years ago there was a Belgium beer bar close to my hoyel that I spent a lot of time in. Tried several beers in the correct glass for the style against other glasses and ir was amazing. Sam Adams...

    Shipping cooked meats to family?

    Freeze the pork and ship overnight in dry ice or a styerfoam cooler with ice packs and you should be good. If you have a food saver pack it in quart bags to freeze and they can just drop the sealed bags in a pot of boiling water to reheat. Always taste great leftover that way

    Beer Can Myths

    Had a buddy do one with mt dew code red. The chicken had a pink hue to it several inches into the meat so something obviously goes into the bird. I passed on the pink dyed chicken so not sure how it tasted

    propane bbq / electric pellet smokers combo

    Not that I know off. Take a look at the fast eddy/cookshack pg500 or pg1000. If you're not cooking for an army it gives you plenty of grilling and smoking room. The grill can hold around 10 chicken thighs or 3-4 nice size ribeyes, and with the indirect side can do a lot more than that. I...

    Lemon Drop hot sauce-Help Newbie

    If you are bottling fermented foods and not stopping fermentation with heat to kills the bugs and stop fermentation you are risking bottle bombs. Refrigeration will generally slow it down but there are some bacteria that can ferment near freezing. For one bottle you are constantly using it...

    To Brine or not to Brine?

    In the past when I brined it was usually just poultry, but I don't do it all the time though I probably should since the results are usually better. Had some bone in pork loin chops in the freezer that I put in a brine for a couple of days to defrost and brine and the turned out great

    Treager brand cooking pellets

    I personally dont like them. In my pg500 they bur with a higher flame than most other pellets I have used and have caused a few flame ups into my auger when cooking over the direct flame. But if you don't have something where you are cooking over the flame that isn't an issue. So if you can...

    My first attempt at a fattie.

    Looks good. Personal preference but I find wrapping makes that nice crispy bacon a little soggy for my taste
