    Covers for Carnivore Grinders

    Has anybody found a decent cover for these grinders? I just picked up a 3/4hp #12 this weekend, it will likely just be stored on the bottom shelf of my stainless table. Would like to just store it assembled with a cover on it, but Cabelas doesn't seem to make one. I've seen some "universal"...

    Getting ready to build first PID...

    So I've got another thread going on the "other builds" forum about running a hotplate in my gasser for doing low temp stuff like sausage etc. I've got a pretty firm grasp on what I need to do to get the pid wired, just need to get the parts ordered. My question is about mounting the SSR and...

    Electric "module" in propane unit.

    So after doing a batch of snack sticks in my 30" Masterbuilt dual fuel I got to thinking. I have a needle valve but the wind was ridiculous so keeping low temps with such a small flame was kind of a chore, even after making a wind block around most of the bottom I had to babysit the thing A LOT...

    Juicy meat when stuffing

    So I tried my first ever batch of sticks this weekend. I used the Big Casino recipe I found here. Followed the recipe exactly. I mixed up the meat and put it in the fridge. I was going to let it set overnight and stuff then smoke in the morning. Then I started reading about the meat possibly...

    Northern Tool Huntrite Stuffer?

    So I tried my first batch of sticks this weekend with a DIY stuffer gun. They turned out great, in my opinion, but there was a lot of fiddling around. I made 3 "magazines" tubes for meat but still had to change and restuff, 5 pound batch took about 4.5ish tubes. This got me looking into 5 pound...

    Another canning thread.

    I've tried a search but having trouble finding info on my mobile. I'm new to canning completely and I haven't bought any equipment yet. I'm interested in canning my sauce so I can make it in larger batches. I've read around about some having enough acidity to water bath it and some needing to...

    Prepping and packing for a camping trip.

    I'm going to try doing some ribs on my clearance MB portable gasser I picked up. Thought was to prep on Thursday, leaving Friday, probably cooking on Saturday. The questions are, how will the ribs end up after being in the rub that long. I usually just prep the night before, not a couple...

    Getting more flavor in my jerky.

    So I've been playing around with some flavor combinations, This is all pretty new to me. I've been making marinades and doing small 1 pound or so batches in the oven, some I've done in the smoker, but the oven is just easier for doing taster batches and going about my day with zero babysitting...

    Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel, first attempt, maybe some help.

    This will probably be longwinded, and pic heavy, sorry in advance it's a bad habit. So I got this unit from Home Depot earlier in the week and got it built.  Yesterday was the day to season after I got home from work. That all went great. Nice smoke the whole time, once it got going, at the...

    Where has this site been my whole life?

    New guy from Milwaukee. I've seldom smoked regularly, and if I did it was always in a Weber kettle. This weekend I smoked a rack of baby backs in a small Weber Jumbo Joe. First try at using something that small, it turned out OK, but could have used more foil time than I gave it. The temps in...
