    A decision was made

    Hi all, This is a follow-up post to my asking for advice about propane grills a few weeks ago. Thank you everyone for your input. Going with a Weber was the unanimous recommendation. I'd mostly settled on getting Spirit. But then I spotted a Genesis II at Costco for only 699 (same price range...

    Propane grill recommendations

    Hi all, I'm looking to add a small propane grill to my lineup. What are you using, and what would you recommend ? I'm looking at something along the lines of a Napoleon Freestyle or Weber Spirit. I'd like it to be small-ish (2 or 3 burners), and a side burner would be great. I'd be using...

    Alt uses for sausage stuffers: Sorullos

    Sorullos are deep fried Puerto Rican corn fritters. It starts as a boiled cornmeal dough which is then rolled into finger-sized sticks and fried. Instead of hand rolling, I started using the sausage stuffer as an extruder a few years ago. Makes the Sorullos look factory-made.

    Hey Inkbird - your Wireless Meat Thermometer app is Lacking

    I purchased the INT 14 BW Wireless Meat Thermometer on Amazon and I'm unfortunately going to return it. I really was excited to get this thermometer set. They look and freel great. The app is nice. The fact that each probe simultaneously reads meat temperature and ambient temperature is...

    MES30 Insulation

    Hi all, Been a while since posting and wanted to share my latest smoker mod. I use an MES30 analog with a slow smoker attachment and an Auber PID. I did several out-of-the-box modifications to the unit and posted the writeup a couple of years ago...

    Propane leak

    One of those small propane tanks sprung a leak. If I don't move it, the leak stops. If I agitate it, I hear it hissing. What's the correct course of action?

    FDA OKs Lab-grown meat

    What do think? This isn't veggie burger, beyondmeat stuff. It's actual animal muscle cells grown in and harvest from a petri dish. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-spurs-innovation-human-food-animal-cell-culture-technology

    Pheasant cheaper than Turkey?

    I don't subscribe to the CNN is fake news hysteria. But man o man, is their reporting ridiculous sometimes. This article (linked below) is suggesting that we make duck or pheasant for Thanksgiving to save money (and something about decolonizing your menu, but let's not even get into that part)...

    Sausages in Outer Space

    Chicken rigor mortis?

    I found a fresh chicken place close to me (fresh as in, they don't slaughter it until I buy it). Looking forward to trying it out, but a few questions came to mind. All basically about rigor mortis and timing? How long after slaughter do I have before rigor sets in? I'm seening anywhere from...

    My Mods to a Masterbuilt Analog

    I got a new smoker recently. The MES30 analog (it was a bday present) It's a step down from my previous unit (MES30 digital). However, with these mods, I expect it'll be a better performer. The ramblings that follow are my thoughts about this smoker and the mods I made to it. A shopping list is...

    Auber WS-1510ELPM max temp ?

    What is the highest temp that can be measured with the WS-1510ELPM multi purpose probe? By default, the high temp alarm is at 290°F. The max display temp is 752°F. Is that also the max safe operating temp for the prode? I know the K type thermocouple on the WS-1510DPMS can handel 900°F.

    MES30 Teardown

    My MES30 is being retired. The electronics are still functional, so I gutted the smoker before donating it to waste management. Incase anyone was wondering, this is what it looks like inside. The wiring isn't that complicated. But getting to it all was a bit destructive. In principle, repairs...

    Loquat Jam

    Loquats are in season. I have a tree that's quite prolific, and making preserves is a good way to use up extra fruits. Ive never seen loquats for sale at super markets or farmers markets; they don't store or travel well since they bruise easy and rot quickly. If you've never had loquats, these...
