    So...Triple D featured my local Butcher Shop- Iverstine's

    Ah right you are! It is a Camero. I was going off my apparently failing memory. When they were shooting my friends episode, the one that was being used apparently couldn't go over 30 mph. That's what I mean by bagged out.

    So...Triple D featured my local Butcher Shop- Iverstine's

    Triple D featured my friends bakery "The Pie Hole" a few years back. Apparently his flight was re-routed a bit and my buddy had to pick him up. Guy was not pleased by the delay. My buddy had an hour or so to chat with Guy. Fun fact, the red mustang he drives in the intro is shipped to the...

    Two small Bellies smoked this morning

    I actually just did up a belly last week. Had to restock the supply!

    lets talk coffee grinders

    I have the OXO grinder and have been using it for about a year now. It's considerably quieter than the old Kenmore I used to have. Granted, it's grinding beans so it's still pretty loud. You can adjust the machine to give you a very fine grind, but we only do drip brew so medium grind is about...

    Fresh Morels and Iowa Pork Chop

    They're really prolific the year after a fire and a lot of people pick them to sell to buyers around here. Heck we have pickers coming from across the country since it's a fairly decent under the table cash economy. Back when the fires were near where I live, I had assembled a number of...

    Fresh Morels and Iowa Pork Chop

    The last time I picked fire morels, I got a touch over 30lbs in one day. While l love them with chops, they REALLY don't like me or my wife. They can be a potent laxative for some of us.

    Options for building new smoker

    I've been away from the forum for some time now and a fair amount has changed for me. We moved to my hometown after purchasing our first house, and I've been doing a lot of renos to take care of the small things inside. I have to do a lot of landscaping work as well. That said, it's time I...

    Jerk Thighs

    P Dreadie is the one that I have. I used to post a lot on thehotpepper forums and many of the folks there were kind enough to share seeds as long as you send a SASBE. I'd suggest giving some bonnets a try and seeing what you think.

    Jerk Thighs

    We absolutely love Jerk pork and chicken here. So much so that I went out of my way to get some Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture Scotch Bonnet seeds and grow them myself. Habanero's simply aren't the same, but are often recommended as a substitute. The actual seeds used to be fairly hard to...

    Jalapenos

    This right here. Years ago, the Chile Pepper Institute at the New Mexico State University did a few studies on heat and drought stressing peppers. They found that there was a strong correlation between stress and overall heat levels in mild peppers such as jalapeños. Infrequent watering and...

    Hummus? Huh?

    I use Rainbow Plant Life's recipe for hummus. Yea, the name is a bit silly, but the wife and I really enjoy her version. I've never tried a smoked version of any hummus. It could be interesting, though I think you'd have to watch the overall amount of smoke time and choose a mild wood since I...

    BuckBoard Bacon, " FAIL " I will not use , just asking for input

    Much like you, I tend to smell things before I cook/eat them. Sometimes it's not by choice, instead it's simply because I have a rather astute sniffer. It's a both a blessing and a curse. I have read about slimy wet brine, but I've never experienced it myself. It does sound like the fine folks...

    Griddles vs grates?

    If we're only talking burgers and steaks, I prefer my steaks on the grill rather than the griddle. I find the spices have to be really fine, or they tend to come off when cooking on a griddle. Other than that, they make fine steaks, pork chops and the like. I'll take a burger on the griddle or...

    Any other SMF Bourbon/Whiskey "enthusiasts"?

    That is quite the collection. A friend introduced me to bourbon a few years back. I enjoy an old fashioned now and then, but bourbon is getting hard to find.

    Curing bacon (belly), how to safely make less salty by reducing time

    Unfortunately, it's hard to control the level of salt when using the process you've chosen. The reason behind it is that you're piling the salt and sugar on by hand in large unknown quantities. It's simply not a method that allows you to systematically control for salt content because the amount...

    Need Help from all you Master Bakers and Bread Nerds

    I can't speak to the rest of the questions, but if you want these to be yellow, add in a small amount of turmeric. It's not what your aunt would have done, but man that stuff will near turn anything it touches yellow.

    Empire Cat. 43 Steam Engine

    Everything checks out. The safety valve is on the stack and is fully functional. The whistle is impressively loud!

    Empire Cat. 43 Steam Engine

    That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it too. My parents had one for the longest time. The cord frayed a lot and eventually caught on fire. I looked at that one. It says it's for the B43 so I'm not sure if it would for or not. There are a lot of various widths for the prongs.

    Empire Cat. 43 Steam Engine

    My son and I were in the next town over where my parents live so we popped into my dad's shop to say hi. He had an old steam engine that my son has wanted for years. Well yesterday his wish came true. At 83, my dad is getting up there in age and is looking to shut down his little shoe repair...

    The Bible of home meat production

    That is a very well known book around these parts. The authors have published a bunch of it online too.
