The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
Figured I'd give a follow up on the FC. We still absolutely LOVE IT! The direct grilling option was one of the things that won me over and it hasn't disappointed. The reverse sear on steaks is amazing. One of my other favorites has been chicken thighs with white BBQ sauce. We just marinate...- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
Pretty much correct. A plate opens above the firebox then you put in a searing grate and turn up the flame. The searing grate can cook using the flat side or the other to give score marks. Used the flat side for my ribeye reverse sear and it made a great crust in short time on each side.- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
I looked at the Grilla Grill too. They looked good but again, I wanted the direct flame grilling option. I read very good reviews on the GGs though. Enjoy.- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
Thanks for your help on this topic guys. I ended up getting the FireCraft Q450. I'll share some pics as I'm able to do some cooks on it. So far I did a reverse sear rib eye that was amazing and we did a whole chicken that came out very tender. Need to brine it next time just didn't have time...- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
So after looking over reviews, videos and lots more research, I think I've narrowed my choice to the FireCraft Q450 and the Louisiana Grills LG900. I have a cousin in Spokane that sells the LG and they have them on close out now for $699. (They also have the LG700 for $619) So if they still...- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
I know the pellets don't add as much smoke. I figured I could use my AMNPS or add a Smoke Daddy later. I'm not necessarily LOOKING to spend $1400, I just know with shipping that's about what the Rec-Tec would be for me. I just want to get something good quality that will last. Thank you...- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
Thanks guys. Yes I know some of my pros, weren't really big deciding reasons but mearly benefits of one over the other. The biggest things I've been looking for are quality build, ease of use, good customer service, warranty and ultimately good tasting food. Also free pellets wouldn't swing me...- baumer64

The Boss (aka wife) told me to get a pellet smoker
After many years of drooling and coveting a pellet cooker, my wife told me my Father's day/Anniversary gift this year was to pick out the Pellet Grill that I want. (She's tired of hearing my complain about the back and forth with my trusty old homemade propane smoker.) Now for over a year...- baumer64

Z Grills
Thanks gr0uch0- I was thinking along the same line. Once I see "Made in China" I get a big red flag going off in my head. Now my LEM grinder was made in China and it's been great but I did have to have some parts replaced when it was new. (Bad casting of auger body). Been looking to get a...- baumer64

Price on butts/shoulders
I just got 3 cases today for $1.73 per lb. and they are boned. The boned price was only $.10 per pound more. Figure with the time saved and the weight loss from bone the extra dime was worth it. A couple months ago I was afraid $2.40 would be the best I could find for my sausage making. -
Sausage making last year
It's a small amount of tender quick but I had always wondered about that as well. (Just checked recipe and it actually called for sugar cure not TQ) I don't know if it got written down wrong years ago or what. Maybe that should be sugar instead of additional cure? I'm mixing and stuffing... -
Sausage mixer score!
Yes, good find! I've had the same LEM #25 mixer for several years now and it works very well. If you have an LEM grinder, it will attach and you don't have to crank by hand. -

Sausage making last year
Thanks Dan. Sorry but the German sausage recipe is an old one that's been in the family for many years and I can't give out. The ingredients however are pretty basic... Salt, pepper, garlic, TenderQuick and pink cure. -

Sausage making last year
Here are some pics of last year's German Sausage making: I use 100% pork shoulder for our sausage. 1st grind My daughter rinsing and soaking the casings. Nice that she still smiles about it. Didn't take pics of mixing. I have a 25# LEM mixer. This was the 1st time using the...
