    Pit Boss at Menards

    Me too..... I was searching for reviews of the Pit Boss when I stumbled on this thread... I wonder what Cabela's return policy is... I have been looking for a used Traeger to take to our place in northern MI. I thought for $400 this might do the trick ??

    Meat Thickness and how it relates to Wet Curing, Dry Curing and Injecting ???

    You're right...it's been a long, crappy winter so when it's finally nice I don't sit in front of the puter either.. I have about 20# of bellies and a 5# pork loin soaking in Pops brine right now. Maybe I'll go shake the buckets to keep me busy for a while...lol. I'll check back tonight.

    I copied a design from a very popular smoke tube many use. I bought a 48" piece of 2" perforated, SS muffler from Amazon. I make two 14" tubes and two, 9" tubes. I cut slices on one end and bent them over, the other end is open. Light the pellets/chips and close to lid to the smoker. Alas, cold...

     Thanks ! I'm really looking forward to it...but, it's my 13 yr old son that talked me into it..I'm glad he did. I just ground up a 9# butt this morning and mixed up four different breakfast sausages. I never thought of doing that either until I started searching around here...LOL. ...
