    Looking for a new set of knifes

    For the money, you can't beat Dexter Russell. I love all of the ones I have. For hunting I love my Havalon knives with the replaceable scalpel blades. It actually works well for deboning too, albeit a little small. I hate my Cutco set. Too many drawbacks to list, but the problems are well...

    I soldered my wires directly to the jack. No problems yet.

    Searching for a low carb ham recipe

    Really? I googled around a bit and have yet to see any commercial ham that comes in over 3g of carbs per serving. Most are below 2g actually. I'm sure there are exceptions though. It also depends on how strict you need to be. Personally, I can have over 100g carbs/day without disrupting...

    Searching for a low carb ham recipe

    I eat keto (LCHF) as well. As others have said, you don't need any sugars, just cut it from any recipe you want to use. That said, the amount of sugar per serving is usually negligible once all is said and done. I go ahead and use sugar when cooking, but I'll use my judgement to decide whether...

    converting to electric

    Oh, I was thinking the fan would just circulate the air inside the cooking chamber, not draw in fresh air. That's a different scenario to think about.

    converting to electric

    Wouldn't you want the fan always on? That would allow it to prevent hot spots always, not just when heat is applied. I learned that lesson from my beer brewing fermentation chambers that heat or cool to hold a temp. They cycle very rarely once temp is stable, but the top of the chamber can be...

    No, it's not expensive. They're running at a quarter of their rated draw due to feeding them half the voltage. Also with the PID controller, it pulses the supply of power to hold the temperature steady, so they are only on for a fraction of the time. Running it a few times every week has made a...

    converting to electric

    I have a very small old grill that I converted to electric. The grates are only 12" x 24", cylindrical style grill, so very small area. I'm running 3 electric stove top elements in parallel that are each rated for 2600w at 240v.  On 120v, it's enough to keep temps in the 225-300F range, but...

    What's your favorite home cooked meal??

    I don't get it too often, but my absolute favorite, death row last meal, would be: Thick cut, very rare prime rib with lots of raw horseradish, creamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes, and a bottle of smokey scotch. For dessert, more scotch.

    Mailbox mod burnt up, need new one - suggestions pls?

    Going forward, you should do what I do and leave the pellet tray out in the open until it's smoking properly. I light it on concrete or on a cinder block. After blowing out the flame, I let it rest for a few more minutes and the smoke changes from a billowing white, to a thin blue stream. Then...

    Help from the Cheese people

    Ageing is not bad advice. I've found that smoked cheese gets much better if allowed to rest for several weeks to months. The smoke flavors soften and meld with the cheese flavors and it becomes fantastic. If you're eating it the next day you screwed up BAD! Just kidding, but just like a good...

    Chuck Roast Pastrami

    I've been wanting to try this for a while, so I finally did it. I steeped a few tablespoons of pickling spice with some fresh garlic and onion, allowed to cool and added a calculated amount of prague powder #1 after cooled. Then I added my chuck (and half a pork belly) and into the fridge it...
