LEM Big Bite #12 Meat Grinder Arrived
I did my first batch of ground pork shoulder using my wife's KitchenAid Pro counter top mixer with its meat grinding accessory and sausage stuffing accessory. I bought the pork shoulder from Sam's. They had bone-in only. If I had known that the pork shoulder preparation for grinding and then...- cliff43j

Rival Slicer
I've got a chance to buy a Rival stainless steel slicer. It's probably just about the size that I can use - not too large. It is in "mint" condition - $25. Any thoughts on this machine regarding its quality??? Thanks, Cliff.- cliff43j

MEAT GRINDERS - What do you think???
We're barely a week and a day into smokin' meats and sausages, and our family is asking for more. We ground our first batch of pork shoulder on my wife's KitchenAid Pro, 17#13.5oz. - never again! It is time to buy a dedicated meat grinder. Now come the questions. We expect to be grinding...- cliff43j

Are All Hog casings the Same???
We used our manual crank, 7 liter capacity, stainless steel, sausage stuffer today for the first time. The manual stuffer was easy to operate and easy enough to clean. We really enjoyed it, but the sausage casing was something else. It was akin to driving in Hill Country. We had high... -
Need a Good Thermometer
I'm resurrecting an MES. I want to monitor the temperature inside the smoker as I believe that the digital temperature readout is off. I'd use my wife's oven thermometer, but it seems to have shrunk in size over the past few years, or I'm getting old :-) I've looked on eBay and found several...- cliff43j

Did Our First Brisket
I got an MES model #20070311, well used, earlier this week in trade for about $50 worth of "stuff" that I was never going to use again. The smoker wasn't supposed to be working as the owner was only too proud to show me. Shoot, I'd never even seen an MES before. What did I know? I got it... -
Why the Small Cubes???
I'm just starting to make sausage. I notice that just about everyone is cutting their meat into rather small cubes. I guess that this is fine if one wants a soft chew; however, I can recall my grandparents cutting the meat into strips about 1"x1" and grinding it with a coarse cutter. I rather... -
Drambuie Cure???
We haven't started smoking our meats yet, but I have a burning question. Our family tradition is to pour an ounce of Drambuie over our Christmas cake a month before December 25, cover it and put it away for Christmas day. The flavor cannot be beat! It's a bonus of being of Scottish descent... -
Hi, from Sunny Texas!
My son & I are newbies to smoking sausages & meats even though we both have gray hair. We live in Pearland, Texas, and can't wait to make our first sausages. I bought some premium sausages 5 days ago and had the maddening experience of biting into 3 pieces of inedible meat by-products in the...
