    Whole leaf or shredded lettuce on a sandwich?

    Since a few people joked about lettuce... I REALLY like a good salad with steak. There is world of lettuce and salad outside of iceberg. A good place to start is caesar with romaine. Ken's is my jam and throw a bunch of fresh ground BP and shredded parm on it. Typically for steak dinner...

    Country Ham Research

    That's close to my MIL "netted ham" routine. No quilts tho but LONG low temp cook to pull the salt out. FIL did not like it as he wanted red eye gravy LOL. Was a city ham with extra salt and smoke I think. Hey, these real country hams retain any real sweetness from the initial curing? Or...

    Whole Teriyaki chicken

    NICE. Please tell me you did the orange extract thing in Pops for this. Man ran teriyaki a few times and have not been happy with it. Something missing.

    Whole leaf or shredded lettuce on a sandwich?

    This thread is too funny for me. I have all theses little sandwich rules and one is I like a LOT of lettuce on sammie like say the classic leftover TG turkey with mayo. Same with tuna on rye. That said, most sandwiches of mine are meat and cheese nothing else.

    Commercial marinates from Amazon

    I was in the one of the Christmas Exchanges in the past and got some STELLAR jerky. Like better than store. Asked the guy sheepishly for tips assuming he had spent a decade or 2 refining his process. To my shock he told me it was Owen's Seasoning. If you have family that eats it you will be...

    Any new Rib Rubs out there?

    If you seem to be always looking for the one and not quite finding what you want, switch gears. Let me first suggest, give more time for a rub to work. I am 5-7 days typically and have tested it and can tell the difference. Rubbing right before smoking is basically wasting the rub. You might...

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    Do you know your hardness? Most people think their water is really hard when it's not. Comes from the days when water softener sales people were a little shady. While I am talking about if, if you are wet brining or curing switch to distilled and you probably will see a quality bump.

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    These guys are missing out. They should be teaching and making money. I feel bad, I could get this sorted out pretty easy with 2-3 calls and a few beers. ALL this stuff is a balancing act or sorts. Whole house gen vs basics, electric/vs gas, tankless vs traditional. Sometimes the choice is...

    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    Love egg nog. Brandy only for me. We have local dairy place that is known for theirs so I never have to make it. My Dad procured a popular Tom & Jerry recipe and he was known for making it. I turned alot of people onto it who never heard of it. Interesting drink as it's warm. Batter is...

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    In to learn and just did some digging as I do electrical work and am considering one myself. You can actually buy them at a supply house if you have access. This bypasses dealer markup which I bet is pretty big (like 2x). You can also order online cheaper than a dealer. Electrician and...

    Dust Collector Recommendations

    Been awhile since I looked into to it but there was a "cyclone lid" craze where guys were making these plywood and pvc pipe lids for a 5G bucket hooked up to their shop vac. Looks like there are number of them being made now. Not vouching just giving you an idea. Can be made for next to...

    Smoked Turkey Legs

    Since St. Bernardus is one of my fave beers... Go longer. Overnight works but I usually go 5-7 days on bird even if not curing. Even when injecting you need time for the salt to move from the injection site. Curing includes the use of pink salt/prague powder/cure #1/instacure. It has sodium...

    Star Anise added to Italian Sausage?

    I think you dang well could use a little star anise in an italian mix. Seen lots of formulas with cinnamon and the like so. Yeah, you need to sneak up on it tho. Good idea on the pics. You're not kidding! I have 8oz of the stuff and is like lifetime supply. VERY interesting stuff. That...

    Star Anise added to Italian Sausage?

    I will agree with @chopsaw fennel/anise seed being traditional for sausage but decided to try my kung fu. Well I'll be... Apparently it is used in Portuegese-Hawaiian stuff. No lie, sounds fantastic...

    Smoked Turkey Legs

    LOOK GREAT! While I do love cured drums, they're a cold snack to me not warm meal. Pulling tenons helps but would agree the thighs are better. @chopsaw gave me this idea and it's genius if you ask me. Buy whole turkey, part it out, cure and smoke legs and wings. Oven roast or deep fry...
