    Beef, it's what's for dinner...

    Thanks y'all! Merv, I work 3rd shift and didn't go to bed that morning. I stayed up all day, so I was pretty tired.

    Canning jars questions

    I check Craigslist daily, in several sections for different things. I have never seen jars on there. I always look at these sections: auto parts, free, barter, general, household, farm/garden, electronics, materials, sporting, wanted, and tools. I will buy them new to start with I guess. I...

    Thanks for the comp! Easier to shred to me. Plus I don't eat fat, so I remove all the fat as I am shredding it. Most places around here just chop up the point, fat and all. They call it chopped beef. I haven't seen burnt ends anywhere local to me.

    Here is the q-view! I tried to slice the flat, but it kept coming apart, so I shredded it all. I ended up not doing burnt ends. I was too tired.

    We ate most of the ribs. I could hardly carve them up. Kept falling off the bones. I got pics though! Will post them tomorrow with the brisket pics.

    ...tomorrow anyway. I just got the brisket, a slab of baby backs, and a fatty on the smoker. Feeding mesquite wood into the fire as needed. I did something different this time. I separated the flat from the point. Gonna make some burnt ends.    Q-view tomorrow! Will take pics of the ribs...

    Canning jars questions

    I will probably go with the Kerr, since they have the wide mouth quart jars in stock local. Be a lot easier to get them peppers out when I want some. I saw the spot on the shelf for the Ball Blue Book, but they were sold out. Only like $5 for it.

    Canning jars questions

    They are ~$10 for 12 here, with lids and rings. That is the quart size. Pints are a little cheaper I believe. That is less than a dollar per jar, lid, and ring. I'll probably go with the Kerr, since they have the wide mouth. They are $10.44/12. Regular mouth is $9.67 or so.

    I won't be storing any in the freezer. I have an extra room that we don't use, that has shelves on one wall. I thought about making shelves on all the walls and making it a store room for food.
