Hey there! Going along with my jump into making my own bacon, I've been dabbling in making my own sausages. A week or so ago, I got together with a buddy of mine who was curious about making Italian sausages, so I said for sure I'd love to try it as I've only done brats to date. Spent a Saturday...

After looking at those online calculators, it seems like both the salt and sugar are through the roof! The best part of all this is having to do test batches and change the variables of that stuff to see what I (read wife and family) like best.

Case...that’s great information to know! Thank you for sharing.

For sure. It had me a bit freaked out at first, but then I was reading that even at that high of an amount a 150lb person would need to consume about 20-25lbs of that bacon in one sitting for it to have an adverse affect. I wish I was 150lbs. And as much as I even think I could eat 20-25lbs of...

Heck yeah! Thanks for the link Bob!

5lbs pork belly 90g Kosher Salt 100g sugar 2 tsp pink curing salt (Instacure #1) Seriously that's it. The only issue was that it seemed like waaaayyyy too much cure. I think total weight of the cure was near or over 200g. And to be honest, I used may 125-150g of it. I sorta dredged the belly in...

Haha Thanks Jim! I had posted mine and then saw yours, and thought to myself "I need to take a packaging class from him!" Yours looked way better!!!

Hey there everyone! Haven't posted in a while, but definitely lurking! I'm a bit ashamed to say that I had never made bacon before. Over winter break I decided to give it a whirl. This first go was more of a test than anything. I bought about a 10lb belly from Costco, and divided it into 5lb...

I'm curious...for the Gordon Ramsey burger, did you scream and swear at it to get it to look so good??? Haha j/k Looks fantastic!

It's funny the things you take for granted when you live in a certain area. For me, it's always the amazement I have when I visit my brother in Houston, the amount of low priced, excellent quality brisket that's just available at a grocery store. I definitely take it for granted that is just...

Looks great! Funny thing too...Cook Illustrated just had an Instagram post about white sweet corn for dessert, and your plated pic is darn near identical to theirs! Haha Great minds think alike! :) I could eat grilled corn all day long in the summer.

Thanks everyone! Seriously super easy and super good! Definitely give it a try. http://virtualweberbullet.com/turkey-breast-central-texas-style.html

Oh man, that looks great!

Hey there, been a while since I posted a pic. Never fear, been lurking and enjoying everyone's posts. I decided to do some Texas style smoked turkey breasts and used the method on this forum. Thawed and deboned some Butterball breasts. Salt and pepper rub. Set up the kettle with a snake and had...

That looks outstanding!! Thanks for sharing. On a whim, I saw a cheap $20 pan at Restaurant Depot and pick it up and did basically the same thing you did. The family LOVED it. Like you said, flavors are amazing and I’ve honed in the cook so that I’ve been getting great results with the socorrat...

Been a while since I posted. Picked up a 13lb brisket from Restaurant Depot. Let it sit in fridge for about 4-5 weeks. Wasn't planning on doing it until next weekend but got a little nervous about it going bad. Opened cryovac, just smelled like beefy goodness. Seasoned with Meat Church Holy...

Untitled by C Lasko, on Flickr Cooking area of a Smokey Joe and about 100x's as heavy. Hahaha.

I know it's not a Weber, but figured this crowd would appreciate anyway. You gotta love having a brother in the beer biz!!! Untitled by C Lasko, on Flickr :cool:

Both look great! I need to start using sous vide. Might have to one of those purchases I slip by the wife..."I didn't tell you I was getting one of those?" ;)

That looks awesome!
