    How to avoid tough skins on smoked sausage?

    Personally i don't think its your casing procedure, Fueling Around nailed it imo, 100c is 212f. Too hot, 167f or 75c is max for cured sausage. You are in the sweet spot for creating leathery casings. My opinion Corey

    I'm a little afraid, just finished cold smoking a belly.

    I am with everyone else on this one, you mention 2 types of sugar, pepper, no mention of any salt or cure. If you could elaborate more Corey

    an interruption in the curing process

    I would love to know the physics behind that, because water molecules stop moving at 0c or freezing, cure needs to move through meat via liquid, so how the cure can migrate when the water is frozen is a bit problematic for me. Not saying it didn't happen, but it needs a deeper dive. Or...

    an interruption in the curing process

    If you are concerned just let it thaw completely,leave it in the cure a few extra days and just do your normal procedures. If it was at its finished cure time before it went into the freezer you are good just thaw completely and proceed normally. Basically if you think of the freezing as a...

    an interruption in the curing process

    If you were say, half way through the curing time, when you froze, then thawed, the curing time will resume where you left off. It wouldn't start over as some of the cure was already in the bacon before the freezing stopped the process. Maybe add a few days to make sure you are fully cured. My...

    After All These Years My First Fail...

    Im never that brave, my final cook temps are around the 167f mark. But if you can go 25 years on a process. Any chance your temps were reading off? Maybe you were hotter? My 2 cents.  Corey

    Countertop ice maker

    That's the exact one we use. Works great, has made tons of ice. Biggest thing is obviously keeping the inside clean, but keep dust out of the side vent, our first one we didn't notice but dust had built up and air flow was diminishing, once that was blown out things worked perfectly again. Just...

    How long has that pizza sat on the counter?

    Some of the things i did when i was younger, eat pizza so dried out yoo had to cut the crust off, i swear there was mould. Never got sick once. But I used to eat dirt as a child also. Not paste or crayons though, there is a line. Corey

    Do you use toppings on your chili?

    If im just looking for a quick lunch, ketchup and mustard, if its more of a supper thing, I will throw on some sauerkraut or sautéed onions. Since I started making the home made ketchup is a game changer. Corey

    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    The engineer i discussed this with said 10" thick with at least 3 to 4 inch of base rock, compacted, dowels in the existing pad for keeping things all even. He suggested 4500 psi, Im going 6000psi. Im thinking 12" also, im here now. Corey

    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    Well, i managed to get all the concrete and chunks,rebar cut and down to dirt. Now i get to do it all over. Im not sure if I want to dig this footing or cut the other one. The weather is still decent, maybe i will cut the other one now.

    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    The shop is 30x50 so i decided to put the hoist off to the side a bit so i still have plenty of room to pull vehicles in or in case i have any larger welding projects on the other side. I can't wait to get it working, im getting up in age and crawling around on the ground is for the birds. Corey

    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    No, it looks like the concrete next to the ground didn't cure properly or something. Its powdery is spots like too much water, or the was water incursion under the slab. Its not a huge deal, the top portion is solid, but im glad I found this, it could have been a disaster. Corey
