    what's people buying for an electric/disappointed with masterbuilt

    I just got my new masterbuilt digital 30" delivered. I think it's the 130B ? Replaces my old 30" MES that just died after 5 years or so. I figure it's probably the terminals disintegrated ,it doesn't heat. It acts as though it should be heating but it doesn't. Anyway just got the new one...

    getting a new 30" MES

    I'm replacing my old 30" MES with a new one that I believe is pretty much like my old one . Digital control on top at the back of the smoker . This is the unit that the terminals disintegrated after using it for a month or so so I put the appliance terminals on the wires and all's been well for...

    Funny Turkey story

    This doesn't have much to do with smoking but it's a story my dad would usually tell around this time of year every year . The kind where you've heard it before but no one is rude enough to say "we've heard this before " because he enjoyed talking about it . He ran a plastic injection molding...

    slicing dried beef

    I realize once I start to slice it I'll get my answer , but here it goes anyway . I cured and dried a piece of bottom round roast and I'm wondering if you would slice it with the grain or against the grain . With the grain it seems like it would be stringy but against the grain I think maybe it...

    brownulated light brown sugar

    I have been meaning to post about this stuff for quite some time now . It is brownulated light brown sugar . They are like tiny little beads . I like to use it when I make up a batch of rub because they don't ball up to themselves as time goes by using the rub every now and then . Maybe this...

He was arguably one of the best vocalists in hard rock for right around 40 + years . I know some of us here are into that type of music .

    cracker barrel turkey sausage

    has anyone got any idea how they make this stuff ? I'm guessing it's got some cure in it because it is so "bacon like " . I did a search trying to find "imitation" recipes and no luck . I was thinking just buying some ground turkey and putting some tenderquick in it along with some other spices...

    world record ghost pepper eating

    This is kind of my response to the habanero abt's . I read about it in my local paper when it first occured . If the link doesn't work just google the title of the thread . What I think is weird about hot stuff is some people can eat it without too much problem . I like spicy but I got some...
