    Back In The Saddle Again (qview on Saturday)

    Good luck with your adventure tomorrow. Remember we all have "bad" batches, but most if not all are not that bad at all. Even most of my disasters have been tasty.

    How much Pepper

    Yep, 25 lbs batch. Well actually it was 2 12.5lb batches because that's as large as my tubs are to mix it in. I ended up with just little more than an 1/8 cup per batch. Thanks for the quick responses.

    How much Pepper

    I bought a pre mixed summer sausage seasoning for my venison this year. I did a first batch and it was really good, but didn't have any "kick" to it. I'm doing the rest up today, and am going to add some course ground black pepper, and idea on what ratio to add? Thanks, Chris

    PID on a Lang

    I've thought about adding a PID to my build in the future. (Mine is going to be a lang clone). I'm an instrumentation technician by day, so adding this to it should be no problem. I figured a two stage PID controller with the first stage controlling a fan, and the second controlling the...

    Vertical Baffles

    Do what I'm doing and put the rib box over the firebox. I am planning on having the usual exhaust stack on the smoke chamber, and also having an adjustable opening into the warmer/rib box for when I want to use it. In the case that I want to have more heat in there, I'm also adding an...

    Help Me Build My Pig Cooker, Smoker, Gril.... Please....

    Don't really have much advice for you other than Great start! I have a tank that I started to cut similiar to yours, but have been sidetracked lately by another build, so it's just sitting. Keep us posted with pics and progress.

    Snack Sticks?

    You should go up to the sausage forum and have a look. In sausage you want 20-30% fat to keep the sausage from becoming to dry ( also keeps it from crumbling). If you have an 80/20 bacon mix, I would guess your fat ratio is somewhere around 85/15, probably a little on the light side, I would...

    miller 175 mig welder

    Sorry you missed it. To give you an idea, I bought a 175 factory refurb from tool king about 3 years ago and paid 449 for just the welder. Check out the site and you should be able to come up with a good refurb unit for around that price. You're still going to have to buy the tanks, spares...

    Anyone make the venison summer sausage of Rytek Kutas?

    if its any consolation, I've tried several of Ryteks recipes, and found them to be a great start, but mostly bland in my opinion. Most of the recipes will need to be tweaked for personal preference. I'm not sure if that's just the way he liked them, or if he had recipes for batches of hundreds...

    A Rig you Guys Will Love

    Its a nice rig, but I'm curious as to why someone would spend that much money on something that doesn't have a three bay sink with separate hand wash station? Its not even health department legal and seems much to large to just have for your own use?? the only way you could use it is if you...

    WARNING! Possible Scam!!!

    I had almost the same situation. Do a reverse lookup on the phone number that called you if you can. They are located on the east coast. I told them to take me off their call list, the guy just laughed and told me that they would keep calling me whether I wanted them to or not. I called my...

    Anyone ever use a water pressure tank?

    You could always combine the two into one. Take the second tank, cut it in half, use it to surround the first with insulation in the middle and fill in the gap in the center of the two pieces with a strip of the same gauge steel. That way you could use what you already have, with just the...

    500 gallon propane tank

    When dealing with tanks that contain or used to contain explosive/flammable materials I'm never gonna tell someone to go ahead and do it because there's too much liability out there. That being said if it were me ( and its not in this situation) I would use the tank. After I took the fittings...

    2 input Temp Digital Thermometer?

    deltadude, you're not going to find one from omega like you are looking at that can be calibrated easily at home. To be honest with you, those things either work or they don't. We calibrate thermocouples at work on a sixth month interval due to our quality policy. I have yet to see a...

    El cheapo digital thermo they're better than you think

    RichT, I'm an instrumentation technician and I spend all day convincing people that the electronics are right!! I just have a general feeling that "cheap" electronics are somehow not going to work properly. weird thing is I bought the mechanical one at gordon foods where a lot of...
