    MIKE'S HOT HONEY

    This reminds me of the time my wife bought spicy Starburst. They were absolutely disgusting. Heat doesn't have to be added to everything... Definitely not looking to try spicy honey.

    Brisket overnight

    Very possible. It lived in the danger zone for quite awhile... Someone here may be more scientific about it, but if it were me, I'm not sure I'd chance it.

    What smoker to buy???

    A lot of the issues I had with my MES is the temperature fluctuations. That thing would range from being 5 degrees off at times to being 50 degrees off at times. It was a very hit or miss smoker for me. I wouldn't say the food I made was trash, I just couldn't ever give an exact answer on "When...

    Curing bacon is a bit...off?

    Wow, I didn't realize bacon needed that long to really work out. I figured it took just a week or two in the fridge with the cure, then rinsed, and then smoked at 250 for a few hours and then done. I guess I've got a bit more time to spend with these fellas after all. I bought a case of pork...

    Curing bacon is a bit...off?

    All.. So, I'm working on curing some bacon. The first batch I did I used 2.2% regular salt, 0.2% cure, and 2% white table sugar. Where I went wrong is I vacuum sealed the mixture together, and I'm thinking that didn't give it enough space to pull moisture out of the bacon. After 3 days or so, I...

    Trying Something New To Me... Dry Curing Charcuterie!

    The meat is also freshly seasoned, so it looks to me like he's just in the initial stage of it all.

    Right amount of cure #2

    The meat was only in the cure/marinade mixture for about 2 hours. I emptied the marinade then rinsed all the meat with water. I did not add any cure #1 to the batch the following day, though, as I figured any amount of cure #2 still left behind should have been enough to act as cure #1. I also...

    Yankee's Oklahoma Joe Build

    Nice! Hope you guys enjoy! I've thought many times about picking up a welder and just learning how to do it. Maybe I should just take that plunge... So many things you can do with a welder that it's uses and usefulness would be unlimited.

    Right amount of cure #2

    I almost considered having this thread deleted so that horrible information doesn't get out, but hopefully it can be used for at least a little bit of information in the future when someone decides to research the differences of cure #1 and cure #2 and their appropriate applications. Thanks for...

    OLD Oklahoma Joe Refresh

    I really like how you left the OJ logo plate looking a bit weathered and dated. Adds a lot to this great restoration! Good job dude!

    I didn't care

    Welcome to the forum! I'm fairly new here myself, but dammit if I don't regret never finding this place sooner. Sooooo much information scattered throughout this place that it can be a bit overwhelming sorting through it all.

    Charcoal Gravity Feed Build.

    Niiiiiice! Man I wish I had the kind of supplies needed to build a custom smoker. I have so many amazing ideas that I think I'd have a new one every month.

    Need help with fire box

    You wouldn't happen to be around the Lubbock area, would you? I noticed the Tech logo, and if you say there's some folks in the area that can put together pits, I'd like to contact them. But only if I'm able to at least guide them in the direction of how I want it built, haha..

    Cement block smoker please help

    Have you tried making a cement slurry, something with a watery texture, and just scraping it over the tops of the cracks so that it seeps into them? I'm not a stonemason, but if I were to have built something like this, that's the way I would approach fixing that kinda stuff. Not sure there's...

    My Smoker/Grill Build

    I'm incredibly jealous. I've wanted a grill/smoker setup like this for the longest time. Something that's just built-in to the patio so that it doesn't have to be moved, etc. Great job! Only thing I would suggest is next time you do a project thread, post your updates at the end of the thread...

    Dehydrating bananas

    Yep, the bananas I use are always fully yellowed on the skin, and sometimes with just a speckling of dark brown starting to creep in. I don't even like to eat bananas that still have green on the skin, much less trying to dehydrate them. :P And when I say pungent, they taste the way ass smells...

    2lb brisket flat, Story

    I don't care how new my devices are, I never trust the manufacturer's built in thermometer. I always use my bluetooth probes so that I can monitor the temp from inside of a cool house without the fear of burning anything.
