I took a cup full of Ranch Dressing and diluted it with a cup of water and used it as marinade for a whole chicken in a vac tumbler cycling 4 times, 30 minutes each time.
How can I get more Ranch flavor into the chicken? Looking for it to basically hit me in the mouth with flavor.
I jaccarded...
Sorry if this has been posted before. But this certainly is interesting:

According to this article-- even after sitting for 24 hours a brine doesn't even make an inch into the meat!
I am interested in the...
So I take it that the proportions of meat to fat really arent all that important-- at least not important enough to get too bogged down with the specifics, then?
Just a general lean (95:5), halfway lean (80:20), even proportion (50:50) and general fat (95% fat or higher)?
What would you...
Hi--
I have recently been trying to get into sausagemaking, and wanted to start with something simple, like using ground chuck to make hamburger.
The ideal piece of meat calls for 80 lean: 20 fat.
But how in the world do you find out how much fat you already have in a cut of ground chuck in...
I've been feeling a little down lately, because all I've got is this Weber Kettle my dad got me. I just cant afford anything else right now at the moment-- so this is all I've got.
I'm worried that I cant make delicious-tasting Que on this thing. Someone on youtube told me that all a Weber...
Oh wow. It sells for that cheap?
This is my first time looking for charcoal, so when I amazon'd it. I got this:
But now that I look at it-- I see how silly I look.
1.) It is name-brand
2.) It is lump charcoal.
Sorry for the confusion folks. I typed faster than I was thinking. I thought I...
Seriusly.. $32.00 for a bag?!
I heard that one is supposed to use 18 charcoal briquettes just for one 3-hour smoke session!
That means the bag would be gone in less than two days!
so If I wanted to grill 4/5 days out of the week I would easily be blowing over $200.00!
Why is this stuff so...
Someone told me online that cooking syringes/injectors dont work because the sauce/marinade never stays in when you inject it, and that the meat pushes it all back out.
Is this true?
Do flavor injectors/syringes work in your opinion?
Looking for something relatively cheap (no more than $80.00 USD).
I know Northern Tool has some-- was looking for anywhere else they may sell them.
any good suggestions, guys?
Ah! Perfect then, Tom. The char-griller firebox it is!
One complaint on there is that the paint finish seems to burn off rather fast. Is there anyway I can treat this before-hand to prevent, or at the very least PROLONG, this from happening very fast?
1/4" is not needed, any other thickness will do as long as it doesnt affect the quality of the smoker too much.
Matter of fact-- I really have no idea what the thickness of the metal does for the firebox... if someone can explain this it would be much appreciated.
Great post, Tom37.
A big thing for me concerning fireboxes is that I really wanted one that would be able to burn wood and wood solely... just not that interested in charcoal.
I was thinking maybe that I could fabricate a "burn barrel" and then shovel it into the firebox as needed..
A couple...
Great idea!
I live in St. Louis, MO.
Really-- the issue of 400$ really isnt the problem, it's the issue of not being absolutely 100% dead-set-on convinced that I would want to go forward with this company.
None of the questions or inquiries that you and others are bringing up were brought up...
Ah! That is a great idea.
I'm not even sure.
My fridge is roughly the same size as what dannyj has in his picture:

If there is a certain size that I am supposed to go with, I would appreciate...
Hi, gang.
Was trying to build a refridgerator smoker similar to dannyj, and attach a firebox to the smoker.
I e-mailed Gator pits for a quote on prices-- and the lowest they go is $400.
Which is two times more than my budget.
Does anyone else have any better ideas as to how I can get a...
