    Pork Loin a la baby back ribs?

    If you can get a "ribeye end" off of a loin you can cook it a lot longer than you can the "strip end" - and it will taste 100X better whether you roast it or cut it into chops. Best breaded and fried pork chops you can make, especially if you velvet them a bit. The sirloin is ok, but not...

    Bacon Curing - Is 2 Months Too Long

    If life ever gets in the way again, you can take the cured product at 14 days and freeze it. Then when you have a day, you can thaw and smoke. I had to do that once just about this time last year with a run of BBB. It really went more than 14, but less than 20 before I froze it. It was...

    Picanha on the Pit Barrel

    Fine looking sirloin cap steaks ;) I prefer hot and fast, like any other steak, but lower and slower works too. Versatile. I like the fat done (so I like to cook them on the fat side quite a bit) and the meat is so lean (at least on the ones I buy) that I can eat it pretty rare - though it's...

    Today's Lunch

    Nice. That Laughing Cow cheese stuff is good smashed up in avocado. I know it's kinda weird but I like it.

    Pepper on Bacon

    I think Sam's has it. The Mart of Wal has it. Kroger affiliates are good bets for seasonings I can't find anywhere else (I can't find file' powder anywhere except our Harris Teeters). The Latino stores probably have it in a 2 gallon bucket.

    How Much Meat to Buy?

    Welp, that's easy. Use the gift card to buy as much as you can of your favorites, then figure out how much more you want to spend and order that much more of your favorites.

    Vacuum sealer recomendations

    I don't use mine nearly as much as some here, I'd call myself a medium to medium light user. I have only ever used an Inkbird. The first one, the heat strip went out after I used about 3 (50ft) rolls of bags. Replaced under warranty. The second one is still working fine 6-7 rolls of bags...

    My 2nd ( really first ) Porkstrami , and I must say Glad I did it twice, Only took a little over a month to do.

    Nice David! I've only done it with fattier pork, I think pork loin strami will have to be something I do in the near future.

    Can I rest the pork in liquid overnight?

    IMO a brisket is about the only thing I've found to get better with a super long rest. Chucks, butts, they really don't care. just my own opinon, of course.

    Survey for Daughter's Math Class

    Football was ok until they made it illegal to do these 2 things. Get within 2' of the passer. Get within 2' of the receiver. (tell me I'm wrong....) It's about as much fun as watching flag football nowadays. I don't even understand the sport anymore. There's what, at least 15-20 minutes of...

    Does Dirty Smoke Truly Equal Bad BBQ?

    Using a stick burner - and a few other methods- will all produce a little less than optimal smoke (dirty smoke) every time you toss a fresh stick on. It never hurt anything I cooked. As mentioned above, green wood is the enemy. About the only way to completely avoid ANY dirty smoke is to...

    Reno Bound

    Never been to Reno but the Circus Circus buffets in 1991 and 1992 were amazing just due to the sheer size. There was enough food in that sucker at once to last 500 people 5 years.
