    Disney Style (Cured) Chicken Legs

    Got the collapsible version of those leg holder at Menards. Not sure if they’d be in stock late in season. Also got one that came on a metal tray that works good for veggies cooking in the juices that drip down.

    Pit Boss or Smoke Daddy. Who's to blame?

    Had a pit boss for 3 yrs. just replaced igniter. I use it a lot. Minimum 2 times a week. Get the popping on occasion. I think its just a pellet catching just right in auger. That being said they are better grills than smokers. I prefer my master built for serious smoking. But it needs a maze in...

    how clean do you keep your smoker?

    A clean smoker is a tasteless smoker. . I remember when my boss commented on how he just couldn’t get his smoked food to taste as good as others. After some discussion figured out he was cleaning it spotless after each use. Told him to quit cleaning it and now he’s a smoking champ.

    Drying/Aging chamber DIY/How to w/ pictures

    Can I add something here. On any newer refrigeration equipment please drill holes in the great outdoors. There any many highly flammable refrigerants in use now. Dumping the charge indoors could be a big problem. Anything but 134a should be researched before cabinet alterations take place.

    I just picked up a pork loin to make canadian bacon out of but i just noticed to use/freeze by date is 11/28. If i put it in cure now would that stop it from turning or would i be better to cut it for chops and freeze ?
