    Beef ribs, it's [gonna] be a good thing

    It's been a while since I played here but by no means have yellow jackets been able to setup camp in the smoker. Now that I'm half broken (my [insert expletive here] boss was happy to have me pull 4pcs. 3/0 copper wire through 2" conduit by hand) I've pulled something apart in my shoulder and am...

I know, not really a smoking meat deal but most all the smoked meats we've been making over last few months will be toppings! Start off by mixing...

    Full packer Corned Beef to Pastrami

    Seeing the full sized pallet with packer corned beef on sale for $2.49# was just too much temptation to pass up. This weekend, my belly bacon (15# worth!) that has been curing for about 10 days will be ready for smoke, cannot leave well enough alone to do just one meat and the taste of our...

    Picked up a 15# pork belly from our local restaurant supply @ $2.20 a pound, it's thawing in the fridge now.

    Made up my first batch of English breakfast bangers (recipe from Cougar78) and pretty much ready to stuff into casings. Bought natural sheep casings last week, using 20/22 mm size made by Oversea Casing Co. They come packed in water (maybe brine?) and look ready to use. Looking over their...

    New to me, $100 Commercial slicer

    Like the tittle says, yesterday I picked up a small commercial deli slicer for a "C" note. Found on my local craigslist, a Univex, 9" slicer. She runs near perfect and very powerful! It did come with one problem, a good sized nick in the blade, looked like some one dropped some thing on...
