Yup he was a colorful character thats for sure. Really not sure just how much he really knew but he sure could put out the B.S. when needed Not many forums would have him around because of it. I remember reading about the State troupers arresting him for impaired while he was the towns sheriff and f...

Thanks for the kind words 50 lbs of jerky is about right but around here I would have to go get a loan to buy the beef. LOL Beef prices are just unreal. When I find a round roast on sale I will turn it into jerky. Round roasts seem to be the cheapest ones to buy around here and are nice and lean. No...

Teriyaki Jerky

Hanging from the rack in my bradley smoker. Used toothpicks to hang them. This is my preferred method. Takes longer to hang them but everything gets done at the same time. Going in for 1 hour at 150F to dry them out some. https://i.imgur.com/ndLf00y.jpg After 1 hour they got 4-5 hours of smoke. http...

I did not like the flavor all that much.

I only made them once. They were not something I would try again. Just not for me but from the pictures I found coming out of the smoker they were a little bit wrinkled and I hung them downstairs after smoking for a week. From what I remember the looked close to yours. https://i.imgur.com/Fjq2ZUU.jp...

Unless you want a 50# box, unsalted fatback is hard to come by around here. I rinse the salted fat and slightly adjust the salt. Sometime I just use the belly meat. 50# box. Sounds about right :mrgreen: Put it in the freezer, its not going to go bad. That should do you for a life time of sausage ma...

My local abattoir butchers pigs on a Thursday. As long as I put my order in ahead of time I can pick it up on Friday morning. All nicely bagged and ready to go. Very cheap to buy and I get 5 or 6 pounds at a time. Skin on but real easy to skin out. Always about 2-3 inches thick. https://i.imgur.com/...

I have had my Hanna for over 5 years now I think. It has worked perfectly without any problems. Easy to calibrate and is accurate. You get what you pay for. If you want a cheap PH meter than don't buy a Hanna. Hanna sets the standard in PH meters and all else just follow.

The Stoker has 3 device ports on the front and 3 on the back. The ports accept any combination of blowers, pit probes, food probes, and port expanders enabling you to control multiple cookers. Port expanders are used to add more devices.

I have owned the Work Sharp Knife sharpener for a long time. Think I might even have one of the originals. For me it works perfect. Other knife sharpeners I can destroy a knife in very short time lol. I even use mine to sharpen the blade on my old Hobart meat cutter (1612). I could never get the sha...

I have only done it a few times using the UMAi Dry bags. To me it is a waist of money drying out a good piece of meat that you have to trim away all the hard cover so I have stopped doing aged beef.

That looks just like the 15 lb stuffer from Northern Tool and at $239 US that's a really good price here in the US. If my calculations are correct that's $308 in CA dollars. Now I don't know if that good or bad, high or low for you all in Canada I will add, that I will help any member here obtain a...

Another little interesting fact about Kirby some might not know LOL is how he got his handle he uses on many forums. ( Pikeman_95) He skin dives for Pike and uses a spear gun to catch them. He is a very interesting man LOL
