    Summer sausage

    I found rump roast at Fresh Thyme for $1.99 per pound. Would that make good SS? Should I mix it 80/20 with pork butt?

    We were garage saling with the grandkids on Thursday and ran across this bike. They were asking $60 for it and I took a pass on it. I thought about all night and went back on Friday and got it for $45. Does anyone know anything about these bicycles?

    Pork Brine Recipe

    I've spent the last 2 hours searching brine recipes and am totally overwhelmed by all the different flavor profiles you folks use.  This place needs a recipe box. I feel I need to brine the lean cuts of pork.  My problem is the wife only wants Cavendars Greek seasoning on her pork...non...

    Pulled Pork

    I'm smoking an 8lb butt for a birthday party tomorrow and my POS Taylor thermometer crapped out.  No problem...I just use my instant read.  As I'm probing around I noticed that the bone in side is 10-15 degrees behind the other side.  Cut it in half and let the bone in side run another hour...

    The Chew

    Did anyone watch the Chew on Thursday?  Michael Symon was searing a steak conventionally and then searing one while frozen.  The consensus was that the frozen steak was better.  Here is a link to part 1   Someone should introduce Michael to reverse searing.

    Pork Butt

    I bought the Sams Club 2 pack a few weeks back.  I cut each butt in half, half with bone and half without.  I smoked/pulled both bone in pieces and intended on  slicing the boneless pieces.  Turns out I need more pulled.  Will the boneless pieces turn out better, the same or worse than the bone...

    Food Saver

    Hey All...not sure this is in the right forum but...I saw a Food Saver with 2 boxes of bags at a garage sale.  I know nothing about these things, but I'm assuming it's a vacuum packaging machine.  Are they any good and is $25 a fair price?

    Masterbuilt question

    I posted earlier that I bought a MES 30 (model 20070213) last month and the controller went out almost immediately.  Masterbuilt advised me to exchange it as the controller is still backordered and it's been over 30 days already.  The retailer has this smoker (display on door and exhaust on...

I'm too lazy to tend to a charcoal smoker so I started looking at electrics and was convinced I wanted a Traeger.  Poked around a bit and ended up with a MES 30.  Bought it 2/1 and...
