    Will be using an older freezer for the chamber itself. Using a Mars Hydro Seedling heating matt for heat. Humidifier and de-humidifier will the the units recommended by 2 Guys and a Cooler in their YouTube video. Pretty much following the 2 Guys video re setting up the chamber. Apparently...

    ?Setting up drying chamber......WIFI temperature and humidity controllers?...or non WIFI?

    Amazon has some very good promotions on Inkbird temperature and humidity controllers. Cyber Monday deals and 30% off coupons. I think it's time to buy these items for my drying chamber build. Question is....do I want (need?) WIFI equipped controllers? Is there a functional purpose to it given...

    PitBoss Lexington not producing smoke

    Did you register your purchase/warranty with Pit Boss when you bought it? Pit Boss makes an effort at customer service including a phone number that usually gets answered. If I am not mistaken the Lexington has a 5 year parts warranty. Might be worth a call to discuss...they often send...

    Weaver or Isosceles ?

    Weaver. For me... Naturally balanced/stable. Faster on target/more accurate. Stable/accurate follow ups. Easier to be aware of my surroundings. Easier mobility. Right eye corrected for the front sight. Left eye corrected for distance/target. and Chilerelleno is correct...whatever it takes.

    Italian Sausage......

    Been a lurking new member here for a while. I've been impressed with the knowledge and experience base of the members. Great resource. I've made sausage for a number of years now.

    Be Careful What You Ask For...

    I've felt you pain. I heated with wood for 40 years. Acquiring and processing 5+ cords of the wood every spring/summer took an amazing amount time and sweat. Your stash should last a long long time. So get it done an enjoy.

    Tenderizing center round prior to making jerky?

    No cure. I'll keep most of it in the frig. I do have the pink salt from other projects. Maybe next time. Turned out pretty good.

    Tenderizing center round prior to making jerky?

    I wound up using the jaccard unit on it. I'll worry about the baking soda next time. 5.5# EOR sliced to 3/16, marinate 2.5 hours. Added red pepper flakes to most of it. 50/50 100% plum and BM hickory @190*. 5 hours or less should do it.... Smoke and product smells real good.

    Tenderizing center round prior to making jerky?

    Oh no!...I'm new here and the first thing I do is get in trouble. Didn't mean to step on your thread. LOL. I do have a hand held jaccard type tenderizer...I'll split the batch. Half with the baking soda and half with the jaccard. This will be good. Korean BBQ marinade with red pepper...
