    Botched snack sticks, need guidance

    I agree on that was a big load and long time. Not aware of anyone else using a fan so you're kinda on your own with that. If it's like an oven (convection) the temps and time are pretty well affected so you might need to reduce 20-30% somehow.

    @KBFlyer Parents honeymoon was Niagara Falls (CA side) so we went up there all the times as kids and even than after that so that maybe sparked my interest in curling. Then when USA got gold with Schuster in 2018 I watched them the whole way. Nice trophy. Hey, is there some rule as to the...

    You're not kidding. You guys looked WAY better IMO. 2x more shots. From an outsider, CA looked far more organized and methodical and we just went b**** out. 2 dudes from BGSU (Ohio) on the 1980 team. That's my school/daughter/uncle. WARNING learning how it's played can lead to addiction...

    Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?

    Not sure why but from some reason most people grab TSPX first and it's a shame as it's far too mild for my liking. I grabbed FRM52 it was a HUGE upgrade. Cheaper too. Yes its IS tangier but also more complex tasting. I personally think the ferment is the star of the show for pork roll...

    Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?

    I had this idea... I took a pork loin and rubbed with Leggs Hot Italian sausage mix and cure, held like 2-3 weeks, did a (fast smoke) cook on the Smokefire. Oh yeah it jammed for BF. I want to try and ferment it someday.

    Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?

    If you want a to try something different, try weisswurst with an egg or something for your breakfast. WW is ONLY breakfast food for Germans. I SV mine so they're fully cooked and just takes a 30s nuke.

    Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?

    YEP! I think pork roll/bologna/Spam are like 90% the same but each having a nuance. I am of the opinion the reason the pork roll is such a big deal is that those people do not have access to good bologna and just the typical Oscar Meyer. I would bet serious dough that anyone into pork roll...

    Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?

    It's nothing special on it's own. Did you prepare it correctly? Browned with egg and cheese on roll. I expected to be the same but ended up really liking it. That surprised me. That said, I found better stuff/cheaper. 30m from there's an Amish meat market and they sell their own pork...

    Pellet Smokers

    WARNING: ENABLER ALERT I "smoked" with my gasser and a tube and while it works it's no where is good as my Smokefire. There's a legit fire or "combustion" smell and flavor of stuff cooked on it. It walks all over the MES for "hot" smoked stuff like brisket/ribs/chicken. Holds temps WAAAY...

    All this sauerbraten talk..

    To me there is a real art to balancing what I would call it a sauce not gravy. Equal parts, salty, savory, sweet, and sour. Reminds me of asian sauces. Go one way a little too much and it's crap. Dialed in and it's sublime. I get better each time I make it. Most people use WAY too much...

    All this sauerbraten talk..

    In for this! How long you going? I am pretty good at translating but that is another level for me! I could ask so many questions it would be annoying but main one would be what legit speck is and whether bacon is a legit sub for it. 2nd one would be is it legit to make a gingersnap gravy for it?

    Pellet Smokers

    I find it MUCH easier to clean with a few shots of compressed air. I tested it a few times without even breaking it down and it works great. Not sure if you can do that will all of them but it works for the Smokefire. On the Smokefire the pot itself burns quite clean but the area right below...

    Vacation Help!

    ^^^^ Great stuff. No need to go outside the Country unless it's high on your list. May I suggest talking to family and friends and find a reputable travel agent? We're not well traveled so it helped immensely. We had some air vouchers from getting bumped so we splurged for Cancun. I want...

    I HAVE to tell this story with the OP having a Sopranos handle and talking about my Smokefire... My uncle and I go to do this Facebook Marketplace deal for the Smokefire. We drive 2hrs away and it is not in the nicest area. We're both getting shady vibes. I have $600 cash on me... Guy comes...

    Weisswurst take two

    Looks great! Huge fan of WW. Been working on mine a few years (think I am about take 9) and got it pretty much dialed in. I am extremely happy with 50/50 pork butt/chicken thigh+skin. Not a fan of the traditional casing so I run mine in strip-able. I SV mine too. To me the spice profile is...

    Pellet Smokers

    I was REALLY against pellet grills a long time but kept seeing @chopsaw posting really nice looking stuff from his Smokefire so it got me interested in one. I was flush one summer and by chance found one on FB Marketplace NIB really cheap and grabbed it. Wish I had got one a long time ago...
