Ok. Let's try for the sausage pictures. Hope this works this time! Yikes!

http://s921.photobucket.com/albums/ad51/willrev/Sausage Making/ I think this is the URL for the sausage pictures :blink: Hope this works. Let me know.[img size=150]

Is this the right way to post a link for pictures on photobucket??? http://s921.photobucket.com/albums/ad51/willrev/Sausage Making/

I have had a few Texans share that "secret". Maybe it just tenderizes it with all the acid in the Coke. Who knows. It worked last time. You don't taste it a bit. So, maybe it does work or maybe I am dumb to believe it, but after you try it, you migh…

I will take a look at the Elder Ward. Thanks. That sausage smells awesome. Been in the fridge about an hour.

I have had mine for over a year. Get the large. It is the most popular size. You will not regret it.
-
Thanks. There it is. I will save it this time.

I bought a Universal brand meat grinder and sausage stuffer - hand crank at ACE Hdwe. It had three sausage stuffing tubes and two different size grinder plates. I used the fine plate to grind the boston butt. I used a pound and a half of butt to two…

Thanks. Sounds great. I have a kitchen aid stand mixer to grind meat. Need to get a stuffer. Got a source for the casings?

It was one of the Texans who told me to soak it in Coke overnight to help break it down some. Some say soak it in an acidic juice. I did not use much Turbinado sugar, only about two teaspoons for a 12 pounder. I read that on the Dizzy Pig website so…

I bought my first "packer" brisket last week. It said "USDA" Choice. It had the thick fat cap and was 12 pounds. It was my first one on the egg. I made two Texans at work cry and two other Texans gave a North Carolina boy between A- and A on the bri…

It's been weeks since Thanksgiving and I finally lost that 10 pounds I put on eating all that Mad Max gravy! Dang it was good.

Sweet spot working. Temp is maintaining well. B)
-
You guys rock. Thanks for the 250 sweet spot tip. Going to adjust the vents.
-
Well, my Texas friend and coworker said he called his brother in TX who said to soak it in Coke and this was a BBQ secret. I guess we will see.

She is looking good. At almost four hours on the Egg. Fire started cooling a little too much so I adjusted vents and turned on my small fan on the floor of the deck and pointed it at the bottom vent. Seems like I have trouble maintaining 230 without…

Ok. I think I have read enough to see that the Mad Max method is the best way to go. The heck with brining the dang bird. I just have to figure out how to get it to thaw in the refrigerator by Thursday morning!!! I feel good about the Mad Max way ev…

Just got that big bottle of Barefoot Chardonnay for the gravy pan today. May have to drink some to put up with the relatives!!!

Yeah, back in college, but I found Jesus. Only smoke pork now. :laugh:

All right. One last question. Cooking temp and time for the 20 pound bird. It seems there is a fair amount of disagreement. If we are to eat at 12:30pm, what time should I put on the bird and at what temp? Max?
-
Some people rub their turkey in pig lard. I guess that might be as close as duck fat. Shoot, where I live, I know I can find lard, but duck fat? Maybe at the Chinese grocery!
-
I read the entire Mad Max method and nothing looks complicated to me. I am a cook from way back. The gravy is traditional Southern USA style that my grandma used to make minus the Big Green Egg. Picked up the pecan wood and apple wood. Plan to use a…
-
Just got done printing off the MM method. Does not look like he uses the inverted rib rack. Does this method leave the turkey in the pan with drippings?
-
Thanks. That's good info. I have so much to learn!
-
I am getting ready to do the same on my large egg. I talked with the local dealer who said using a wood stove gasket will work, but it has cancer causing silicone compounds not safe around food. It was about $15. I went ahead and ordered the BGE Hig…

Pizza turned out great regardless. cripy bottom and tasty.

Tell me about the tru tell and where to order.

Got the turbo fan and blew it into the bottom vent. Got it up to 400 but not much over that. It has been snowing here for several days and just melted off today. You may be very right about moisture in the lump. Caught the parchment paper under t…
