    All Beef Sausage

    I've made this a couple of times and it's not bad. From one of Rytek Kutas' books: "Kosher style beef sausage" 5# ground beef ( I used 80/20. 85/15 might be a bit lean. Maybe throw in a little pork butt or something to get some fat). 1/2 tb white pepper 1/2 tb nutmeg 1/2 tsp ginger 1/2 tb thyme...

    Chicken leg 1/4's . Deboned and stuffed .

    Looks good, Rich, but a lot of work! I haven't seen quarters around here for years, but maybe I'll try de-boning some thighs. You've got me thinking. What if you stuffed some thighs with Pesto and sprinkled a little Italian seasoning on them? You could have them with Alfredo and noodles.... I'm...

    Video games?

    I checked out the review for Dragon's Dogma 2 on IGN and am kind of "on the fence" about it. Lots of tech issues, but they may be ironed out since March. If I see it pre-owned I may give it a shot. We'll see. I still have a long way to go with Shadows.....

    Video games?

    It is pretty action/combat heavy (like Valhalla). Like most of the newer games there's a lot of focus on "abilities" where you "hold this button and hit that button after performing an action to do whatever" which i can never remember in the heat of battle so I don't worry about it and just...

    Video games?

    I got tired of re-playing games. Assassins Creed Shadows became available for $52 after a week so I downloaded it. I thought Odyssey was big but this game is huge. Set in 1549 Japan. You play 2 different people. One is a girl in her 20's who is the normal A.C. type and a black guy who is a...

    who has fried ribs?

    It never occurred to me to deep fry ribs. I've always just done them in the smoker or the kettle, but in the dead of winter I may just try some in the air fryer. Thanks for the idea!

    Home Grown Tomatoes

    Looks tasty and I have a few green ones on some plants but it'll be a month before I get any ripe ones. I'll keep this in mind because I don't know if I'll have enough to can and you can only eat so many BLT's....

    Help me with a (salt, pepper, garlic, and onion) rub

    Sorry, but the SPOG thing to me is just a go-to if you don't know what else to do. I use it on vegetables mainly. Just salt and pepper for beef. For a P.P. butt you need a little sugar. Try this. I've been using it for years: 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup paprika 1/4 cup kosher salt 2 TB course...

    Video games?

    Wow, I can't believe this thread is still going after so long! Like Brian, I'm having trouble finding new games that I'll like and I refuse to pay what most of them cost, so I've been replaying older games (Mass Effects Andromeda and Legendary Edition, Elder Scrolls Skyrim, AC Odyssey). Driving...

    Hot and fast for brisket?

    Since my offset likes to run at +/- 275 that's where I cook them. I wrap in paper after the stall and leave wrapped. I always cut off the flat from a packer to use for pastrami so I don't know about how the flat comes out.... Works for me :)

    All Pork German Bratwurst

    Sounds like my next sausage, Rich! I haven't been to the site much lately and almost missed it. All the Mrs. likes are Polish/Kielbasa and Italian, but it's time I made something just for me :) I even have hi-temp cheddar....

    Chicken Sausage

    I'm assuming your mention of cure #2 was a typo. Regardless, if it's been in the fridge it should be OK, but if you're uncomfortable, go with your gut... I would stuff it.

    Need a idea…

    Looks great! We've gotten kind of hooked on country style ribs lately. What event was it? NHRA? Usually I can hear them running from my house, but I never heard anything and I forgot all about it....

    New stick burner in OC CA

    That's too long for a cooler. At this point, if you think it's done enough, stick it in the fridge and re-heat it....

    New stick burner in OC CA

    By all means, keep it wrapped for the hold!!

    New stick burner in OC CA

    I'm thinking it might be more about preventing wildfires than air pollution. In John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath", when the okies made it to California and prepared to camp for the night the property owner/rancher told them it was OK to stay the night, but if they made a fire he'd run them off...

    pork butt grinding fat glob question.

    I put my grinder parts in the freezer just out of habit. Don't know if it does any good but it doesn't seem to do any harm. I try to grind with the meat not quite frozen. For a 5# batch I usually have to clean the gristle off the plate and clean out the auger once. I thought that was just part...

    New stick burner in OC CA

    Welcome to stick burning and the forum! If I can keep my offset above 240f and below 300f without a lot of white smoke I'm good with it. As far as the dryness, are you wrapping at all? Some may disagree, but I think wrapping after the stall helps a lot....

    Attempting home made pasta for the first time

    Nice! I'd been doing the wider noodles and tried spaghetti size, but they taste the same and the wider ones are easier to deal with. I had the impression that 00 was basically just all purpose flour....

    Is there a Mayberry anymore?

    When I moved and bought a house here on the far northwest side of Indianapolis the area was a jewel of the city for shopping, dining, etc. In the last 18 years things have just gone downhill. Lafayette Square Mall is a huge empty building now with a huge parking lot. One by one all the...
