    Stainless Steel Flat-top for Fab. Shop

    The ultimate goal is to get any oils or chemicals off the SS. Scrubbing with soap and water then high heat are great at doing that. The soap will cut oil the heat will drive off volatiles. With that when seasoned correctly your food isn't touching the underlying metal is touching the seasoning...

    How does one get crispy bacon

    Its also dependent on woods used. Some like apple have a mild taste profile while others like mesquite and hickory are much more pronounced.

    Stainless Steel Flat-top for Fab. Shop

    Wash with dish soap and hot water then burn it off over hot coals for and hour or so. Once "sanitized" back the temp to 375 to 400" and start seasoning it with crisco. Put a blob of crisco on the center and with a wad of paper towels held by tongs smear the crisco around uniformly. Put the lid...

    How does one get crispy bacon

    Look at the Amazing pellet tray or tube. They are well...Amazing. Great smoke for long durations. My tray will produce nice smoke for 10 to 12 hours using 1/2 lb of pellets. I cold smoke in 10 hour sessions then rest in fridge. I do a minimum of 4 sessions and have done 7. So 40 hours of smoke...

    Newbie smoker question for start up.

    Unless you want to eat it the following day you'd better start the night before. If I want pulled pork at 5pm on Saturday i start the shoulder Friday at 6pm. Usually they get gone sometime around 2 to 3 PM then rest in a cooler until dinner. Resting the meat for 1 to 3 hours is very important...

    a(nother) help me choose thread, $500-800(ish) budget

    Not sure if your willing to look at kamado style ceramic cookers but the are amazing at lots of thing keeping and maintaining temps for long periods of time is one of them. They are also very efficient due to the thick wall insulation properties. My BGE will cook at 225* on a single charge of...

    How does one get crispy bacon

    Make cold smoked jowl bacon. The texture is very brittle and crumbly when chewed. It is perfect for in sandwiched as it shears nicely when you bite through the sandwich. For the record I only cold smoke so I do not know how the texture would be if hot smoked.

    What you guys think of this unit?

    I also discourage the clip type mounts and would go for one with a wide/removable/adjustable height mount like the Anova series SV sticks. The wide mount is nice as it further diversifies usage by being able to clip onto thin walled vessels like stock pots and also the wider things like the...

    Sous Vide hand in hand with smoker

    SV cookers and smokers compliment one another very well. Last week I made a 6lb batch of summer sausage. Smoked them for 4 hours or so at 130 and 140 degrees then into a 155* SV bath for 3 hours. Came out perfect.

    Steam Cooker

    The answer to your prayers is a Sous Vide stick cooker: Just last week I did a 6lb batch of summer sausage. Smoked at 120 - 140 degrees for 4 or 5 hours then into a vac bag and then Sous Vide'd for 3 hours at 155*. Texture and flavor.........amazing!

    What you guys think of this unit?

    If the looks of a stick cooker are going to be offensive to the misses why not just move your setup out to the garage, basement, shed, laundry room or spare room then set her crock pot on the counter so she has some eye candy. If my wife were that picky I let her do her own cookin'.

    What you guys think of this unit?

    Not sure why you are opposed to a stick style SV. They are more versatile IMHO. I can use it in my 8 quarts pot, 25 quart cooler, 5 gallon bucket or in my sink when making cheese. When done I use the cooler to store it in along with a few other items.
