Nothing really to see here , but I bought this on a Walmart clearence several years ago . Just don't really use it , so I was thinking about selling it . I had a small pork cushion I needed to cook , and figured I'd run the WSM . If it didn't turn out or go good , it really didn't matter ...

GFS finally had the 3 pack of spares , so I took a ride to grab a pack . Saw a small boneless pork butt that weighed in at 9 pounds .( EDIT : was 9 bucks , not 9 pounds . weighed around 5 pounds . ) Thought to myself , be a good one to do for Sunday . Got it on the SmokeFire around 9:00 my time...

I do a lot of beef knuckles . Used to be a great value . Not so much now days . Still not bad compared to some other cuts . This comes up from time to time , so last time I broke one down I took some pictures of how I do it . I'll try to keep it short , but still make some sense . Just self...

Been wanting to do this one for awhile , just never got around to it . Had a couple lemons on the counter for sausage , then forgot to use them . So figured it was time to try the bread . I used 150 grams of ripe starter . 350 grams water , 500 grams flour . 1 tsp instant yeast . 12 grams salt...

It was right at 70 degrees today . Sunny with a lite breeze . So I cleaned up the 28 " Blackstone and thawed some 80/20 beef . Haven't been grinding my own for a year or so . Beef cuts got crazy expensive , so I've been buying the 80/20 " Tube-O-Beef " form GFS . It's actually really good ...

Been looking at these for awhile . Wasn't sure if I really wanted one . Some looked pretty cheap , but this one looked well built , so I grabbed the " 3 hole " Non stick . The flats keep it rigid . Reviews on others all said they warped at high temps . I used the " Classic Baguette " recipe...

Well I was talking to my buddy Ray @sawhorseray this morning , and he mention a breakfast burrito . So I was telling him about one I saw on the net that I did awhile back . Trying to remember exactly how it went , I figured I'd just go in for a second round . This is a bit different , as the...

I had thought about adding a shelf to this when I built it . After Christmas and new cooking equipment added to the kitchen I decided to do it . Here's the original thread for anyone that had not seen and is interested ...

Did Christmas early with my family last week , so got to stay home this year . Kids thought lasagna sounded good , and I agreed . Mixed the bread up on Tuesday , and held in the fridge overnight . Out of the fridge , pulled , stretched , and shaped . Warming on the counter . I did a couple...

'Tis the season for Goodwill , so if your a fan of Goodwill it will be prime season with the new holiday gifts , and people getting rid of old stuff . I stopped in last week . I seem to go right to a spot and have a " That's mine " moment . That's what happened this time around . This thing is...

Started off with some homemade Hot Italian . I had 2 butts . Cut pork steaks from one , and mixed in what was left to the 2nd one . That gave me a bit more fat content than I normally use , it was a positive . Probably around 33% fat to lean . I base my batches off 2 1/2 pounds of grind . For...

Bought a couple of these one sale a week or so ago . I always plan for 2 meals when I buy these . Deboning is my go to on these . Makes a great end result . Completely deboned , I peel the skin side back , but leave it attached in the middle . Season up under the skin , Pull the skin back down...

Been looking at these for awhile now . I have a Samsung fridge with the total failure ice maker design . @mike243 helped me with updating / repair and what I needed to do which helped . New mainboard , drain heaters , sealer for the ice room , and some other stuff . Got a good 2 years out of it...

Ambrosia is a defect in wood , caused by the Ambrosia boring beetle . Discolors the wood , and makes some really nice features . I figured it would make some nice serving or display boards . These came out really sharp . Pictures don't do them justice , but thought I'd share . Made one larger...

I have several cooks I've done , but never posted . If things are busy , I'll save them for another time so it doesn't clutter things up . Did this on the SmokeFire back when I first got it . Whole chicken in Pop's brine overnight . Black pepper only on the skin . Chicken on the SmokeFire ...

Been hand cutting steaks when I make sausage . Usually get 3 decent boneless steaks from a butt . Had these thawed out for today , but yesterday my Son informed me that he wanted to make a pasta dish . So I decided to get them going for Saturday's supper . Got out the " hole poker " and worked...

Found some leg 1/4's for a good price . Perdue brand . I don't buy the cheap leg 1/4's in the bag . Those look like they were processed with a chainsaw . These come on a tray of 4 . I bought 2 trays for $3.95 each . A tray of 8 legs , or thighs were $14.00 each . So I always buy 2 trays of 1/4's...

Finally had some hatch chili's at the store today . I hesitated to grab them . Seems it's always late when we get them , and the go bad fast . Sometimes by the time I get home . Ended up tossing 2 . Being in that bag doesn't help things . Broke down a beef knuckle a couple weeks ago . Thawed...

Been too hot outside to do much cooking . So I've been hanging out in the shop . This is an old Norm Abrams / New Yankee Workshop project . I did one 30 plus years ago , and have been wanting to revisit it . I had some hard Maple in the basement , so that's what I used . First thing is bending...
