After careful consideration and much comparison I decided to go with the REC TEC pellet grill. Much Thanks to SeenRed for all of his help and for answering all of my questions about Rec Tec when I sent him a PM! I liked the Yoder YS640 also and it was one of my top 2 choices. I just didn't care...

I picked up these turkey breast tenderloins at Costco and was going to put them in the oven as directed on the package until a "light bulb" came on in my head. I decided to put them on the smoker instead. I was worried about drying them out since I couldn't brine them but since they are already...

I found a much easier way to rinse the inside of natural casings the other day that I thought I would share. After using the kitchen sink to rinse the insides out and having the ends slide down the drain a few times, I came up with an idea. I got a large deep pot that fit under the faucet and...

First of all let me say I was not really looking for another smoker, but I was looking at Craigslist the other day and I always do and came across a used MES 40 1 year old only used twice for $300. Didnt seem like too bad of a deal so I checked Cabelas (another website my wife says I spend too...

I picked up a few types of bacon cure so I can renew my bacon supply that ran out after my first batch. The last batch I made I was given the correct amount of cure, the brand of which I am unsure, was premeasured by the butcher. I want to dry cure the pork bellies as last time in a vac seal bag...

I decided it was time to try making my own brats after reading many good ideas and tips here. I picked up 20# of pork shoulder and trimmed some of the fat off till it looked ok to me. I used hog casings and made 4 kinds in 5# batches. A German style, Wisconsin Style, Hot Italian, and tried the...

I picked up a couple of point cut corned beef last week on sale after seeing on SMF you can make these into pastrami. Since it was my first attempt I figured I would take the easy way and get a few already corned, instead of doing my own. I was not inpressed with the cuts of meat hidden inside...

Got my new Mav ET-732 the other day from Todd at A-MAZE-N Products. Shipping was very fast! Since I had just done ribs the day before getting it, with no plans on smoking anything this week, I had to try it out on something! It was killing me to leave it in the box unopened, so I got some water...
