    Red's Santa Maria Build - A Custom Grill for JIMSMOKES!

    Looks great, I thought if I built 1 I would pour the base instead of using fire brick, little more time consuming but might stop rust from forming under the bricks, thanks for sharing the journey

    Vacuum vs 24-Hour Frig Marinating

    It will open the pores up to let more in, vinegar will run through about any meats but might not carry other flavors with it

    high end dual fuel ranges

    I really love induction type ranges, but you need to keep a warranty on them as anything repair related is $$$ , it heats up super fast and no ducted fan needed for spent gas fumes. The newer units have no preheat features and a host of other stuff related to oven cooking. The no preheat on our...

    Kitchen Aid Pasta Maker

    All of the KA accessories have been good quality that I bought, I have a extruder set that works well, haven't used it in a lot of years as I ended up in bad shape with #2 diabetes about the time I got started using and learning it. Wore the grinder out on a bunch of deer though :emoji_wink:

    Flat Racks vs Hanging for Jerky

    Pellet smokers run too hot to do some things and jerky is 1 of them, easy to over shoot temps, it can be done but there's a fine line lol
