    Best Sub$320 Vacuum Sealer

    My food saver is on its last leg, so would it be in my best interest to throw down for a LEM vac sealer? I would just like a nice unit and the LEM 1253 max vac 500 is what I am considering. It’s a considerable chunk of cheddar on a piece of equipment but I know it will be used. Anyone have...

    Garlic Confit

    So this is my third or 4th run of garlic confit, 2nd on the smoker. I don’t remember getting sediment in the oil last time I used the smoker. This time I used a different olive oil and was not happy with the result at all. But back to the question: When the jar settles the oil will clear and...

    Question #1 Anyone brine their piggie ribs? I read somewhere about a coffee brine on ribs and I can’t get it out of my head....might do that if you guys say a brine will not be a waste of time. I have not done ribs much, my CC so small it’s hard to do several racks at a time. Question #2...

    Doing Combo Punch but Which First?

    So I’m confused about what cook goes first....or does it even matter?? I was thinking of doing a brisket for Super Bowl Sunday and was playing with the idea of smoking/SV’ing for the 1st time. So which do I do first, Smoke or SV? Most I have come across seem to smoke 1st so it seems. But I’m...

    Dry Age Experimentation

    So at first I was excited but now that I have had it for a day I am second guessing myself. Figured would run it by you folks before diving in head first. Found this beer/wine cooler for almost free because the PO punctured the cold plate on the back wall. (Pretty sure can reseal, I mean why...
