I've been a butcher for 35 plus years. Brisket can still be found untrimmed for under $5/lb. As far as chucks roasts go, I think a prime chuck...

I learned about the leaf blower cleaning about halfway through the season, so the damage was done...
For some reason, this year I have a blacker smoke stain around my stove pipe than usual. Vinyl siding wash and a pressure washer don't have much...
The back panel of my Harmon comes off without removing any pipe, and there's enough room to work on anything inside. Otherwise, take it off at the...
Never tried Okie Golds, but I know everyone has overstock pellets this year and deals are everywhere.
I was told I could burn corn, but would need a different burn pot. I'm thinking burning too hot could cause problems. As luck would have it, I'm...

I pull everything out and scrape it clean. Now that the air flow is corrected, clinks don't build up, and it's running like new.
Just some more praise about the leafblower clean out. My versa grate was making a knocking noise when I was having the clink problems. That...
I would slice it across the grain. It should hold up to drying, and remain tender.
Tri tip was my second choice for jerky. Flank steak, cut at an angle to make thin wide strips is better. Good Chinese restaurants use that for...
NO! between the tenderloin and skirt steak!
From the hip, between the tenderloin and flap meat.(steak tips).
Thank you. Pretty sure my stove is fixed! and my neighbors have a new grey house! ( one side anyway). Loved the leafblower advice!
