    Sausage meat grinder

    Looking at possibly getting a grinder. Thinking about the Lem #8 or the STX Turboforce 4000. Anyone have any news on either. I don't want to make the same mistake I did with my first slicer and get a cheap POS. I will probably get a separate sausage stuffer.  Thanks Terry

    Smoker build.

    I want to build a smoker/smokehouse in my back yard next summer. What are any concerns over plywood vs lumber. I had an idea to build out of plywood and insulating it for year round use. Does the glue in plywood pose any risks? Similar design to this is my goal. Terry

    New ( to me) slicer came today.

    I bought a little Della 8.7 inch slicer and used it a couple times. I was not at all pleased with the way it worked and sold it to a co worker. I made him aware of the reason I didn't want it, but he said  this slicer was better than none. Both of us happy.  I finally found this little gem on...

    2nd go at BACON.

    The first batch (experimental) turned out well. Either that or all my friends lied to me. No matter. 16 pounds in the brine. Can you guess where the Jalepeno peppers are?

    Brown Sugar?

    I am new to this so please bear with me. I just started smoking and my passion will be bacon. I will also do others, but we love bacon. I looked at dozens of recipes and it seems like all of them call for brown sugar. Is there some reason for this besides flavor? I typically shy away from meats...

    1st attempt.

    I am new to this forum. I am new to smoking too. I found a Little Chief electric smoker for 23 bucks and decided I wanted to try my hand at some homemade bacon. I picked up some pork belly at my local meat market and proceeded to prep. I searched online for a recipe and settled on one I liked...

    Hello from Elk River Minnesota

    Hi Terry here. I am new to this smoking stuff. I picked up a Little Chief smoker from CraigsList and am attempting to make some bacon. I have a couple guys at work that smoke meat and I have picked up a little info from them. I work as a machinist and in my spare time chase around one or more of...
