    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    Hunting season is fixing to start here. It's not going to help though. Last year price was 125.00 to process and I've heard they're going to go again this year. It does make me want to bust one of those little bambi's coming through my yard and cook it on this open fire rotisserie I bought and...

    Texas Brisket Kit?? Whats your Take?

    Few years back local Sams had preseasoned brisket halves. Seasoning smelled and tasted pure chili powder. Was terrible for brisket but made some great heartburn chili.

    Estate sale find - new kooker 25 years old

    Use to cook a wild game dinner fund raiser for the boy scouts. We had a quick rain shower pop up one year while we had the turkeys frying. Didn't get one of the fryers shut off quick enough and water from roof drain hit it. Whoosh! We had a heck of a fire and left a nice burn spot and the side...

    How to handle natural casings

    It's really noticeable on sheep casings but you'll pull you hair out. Trying to get the small size open after you pull it off pretube. I soak them still tubed. When I go to do my final soda soak.

    How to handle natural casings

    As covenant as pellet grills can be. They sometimes can be a headache! Checked mine a 7:00 yesterday mornin. Why is the smoke coming out of the pellet box and not the stack. Fire pot so full it couldn't. It had been running for 13 hours though. Luckily my fire pot can be pulled and dumped...

    Brisket

    Yea last minute thought. That I should have thought about the day before. LoL It was all left over trimming all beef. Just SPG and NFDM. Should have finished it in the smoker. The high heat from the grill melted a lot of the fat out. So the texture was off. Just started playing with sausage making.

    Maiden brisket voyage has started 🔥

    Your brisket looks great to me. Looks better than the first one I did. Mine was not only dry but was very chewy also. After that I started buying the cheapest brisket that I could find. (Select) Changing small things each time till got consistent results. Unfortunately now there are no cheap...

    Brisket
