    Brisket flat in the Copperhead 5

    First go at a brisket in the Copperhead 5. I wanted a whole packer, but Sam's was out. They did have some cryovac flats so I got a 6 pounder. I know flats can be a pain to cook and some will say grind it for burgers, but I'm going to give it a try. Since I'm wanting to keep this from drying...

    Pit Boss Copperhead 5 - detailed cleaning and notes on pellet dust buildup

    OK, I've been playing with the PB5 for a while and figured it was time to do a clean out. One question I keep seeing is "how much pellets does it burn". Since I knew what I started with in a new, unseasoned PB5, I figured this would be an ideal time to find out that answer also. There are...

    Pizza in the Copperhead 5 vertical pellet smoker

    Y'all have to forgive me, but I'm like a kid on Christmas afternoon with a new toy. Today I figured lets try a pizza in the Copperhead 5 vertical pellet smoker. Now where did I put that pizza stone we don't use anymore.... Ok, first fired up the PB5 to 400* and after putting the stone in, let...

    Chicken Wings!!!! First smoke in the Copperhead 5

    Ok, the copperhead 5 is officially broken in, and I'm duly impressed with this thing. First let me say thanks to Jason at Tenacious Q for some tips on the water pan vs a foiled disposable pan (dry). I really like the foiled disposable pan method and it worked perfect for this hybrid smoke (both...

    Ok, I did it... I'm officially a member of the "Pooper Patrol" now

    I finally gave in and joined the "Pooper Patrol". I bought a pellet pooper smoker! For some time I've been watching with envy all the posts here and other places of smokes with a Pit Boss Copperhead 3/4/5/7 vertical pellet smoker (also known as the Louisiana Grills 7 at Costco). I just could...

    Found a drop-in disposable water pan liner for WSM

    As we all know, cleaning the WSM water pan of grease and gunk after a long smoke is always a hassle. I had previously searched for a disposable aluminum pan that would fit and not found anything suitable. Like others, I generally used a couple of sheets of heavy duty wide aluminum foil to line...

    Smoking Gun GB jerky in the LEM dehydrator

    Well, I'm out of sticks and jerky so you know what that means. Time to make some more. Going with ground beef jerky today. Using a tad over 5 pounds of 90/10 from Sam's Club and will be using the jerky gun I got for $15 when the local Gander Mountain closed as my extrusion method. Recipe is...

    Snack sticks - a method question (and new idea)

    I throw this out for Rick and the other master stick makers to ponder... I was just thinking about how I make my summer sausage. I have started using my sous vide to finish my summer sausage ever time. First part of the process and the smoking are basically normal, then after the meat is set...

    Air Fryer spreadsheet - common foods & a calculator to convert recipes

    Ok, I've seen this data in various forms but never combined. There are a lot of air fryer food, temp and time tables out there and they all seem to have come from a common source. So the data in this one is not new. What is new is it's in a spreadsheet, and I also added the common recommended...

    Low carb chicken nuggets using CarbQuik "batter"

    If you have been following some of the low carb threads in this forum, you have probably seen a couple of us talking about trying CarbQuik as a flour coating on chicken. Today I figured I would give it a try on some breast trimmings that we were making into nuggets. We had 3 large boneless...

    Low carb sausage & cheese balls - version 2.0 (A WINNER!!!!)

    Ok, I'm taking another stab at the low carb version of sausage & cheese balls. You know, that old southern favorite normally made with Bisquik, sausage, and cheese. The other version was pretty decent, but I've never tried the "on the box" version from the CarbQuik people, so I though I...

    Low Carb Sausage Balls - an experiment

    A few weeks ago Disco made a post about making some Sausage Balls. You can see his post here: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/sausage-balls.277649/ Now I for one just love sausage balls. However I'm on a low carb diet and working on loosing weight after some other health problems...

    Insane price on pork

    I was in the local Kroger today and noticed one of their sale signs. Single cryo-vaccumed bone in pork butts for $2.99 a pound "ON SALE". I thought that can't be right. So I looked over the display at the individual packages and yep, $2.99 a pound. No way!!!! I did spot 2 that were marked...

    LEM #12 Big Bite for $330 on Amazon

    I've been lusting after a LEM #12 Big Bite grinder for some time now. I have had a Kitchener #12 from Northern Tool for a number of years and it works just fine, but there is just something about that 3/4hp #12 and all the reviews and video's I've looked at for the LEM. Normally they are $449...

    Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !

    I was browsing another forum and someone posted this video and was asking what smash burger tool that was. That is one awesome looking smash burger tool. I did a little online searching and figured out it is a Vollrath 50661 1.6 pound stainless steel "steak weight". They have them on...

    Snack sticks - 2 kinds (been a while)

    Ok, it's been a while since I made sticks. I was looking at my smoking notes and apparently I have not made any stick since last fall before my surgery. And the last batch of sliced jerky is gone, so it's time to make some sticks!!!! Figured I would deviate from my usual recipe which is a AC...

    Anova Nano SV update (March 25, 2018)

    When Anova notified those who had pre-ordered the Nano SV that shipping was being delayed last year, I was one of those who chose to wait as I wanted the unit and, heck I already paid that credit card off. This weekend I had looked to see if there was any update on their website. I could not...

    Can a recipe calculator spreadsheet be uploaded to the new forum?

    In the old forum, I could upload excel spreadsheets for recipe calculators. I seem to recall the moderators had to turn that function on user by user. I do not see any way to upload a spreadsheet or embed it into a post in the new forum. The "upload a file" only seems to handle zip, image and...
