Dude, go to your local meat market.

 

I have actually tried to go to numerous local markets lately.... none will sell you just the pork belly, they are curing everything for bacon

County Fair in Dells has points and flats sold separately from the packers... Not much of a price different either ($0.40/pound),

 

I may have to look into that, I will be in Dells soon, might just have to bring a big cooler along for the trip lol.

Interesting... I will have to check it out.

Costco has posted in the store that they are maintaining their same margins and price increases are coming from the suppliers of meat.

and I'm going to try that with as loin too!!!  looks darn good!!

I won’t do one any other way any more. Seems like the fattier rib end gets too tender for slicing.  I cut mine where the fat cap starts to taper off. You can also see on the bottom side where the meat changes. Make sure to add plenty of liquid when you wrap it. I like to use coke and put in about 3-4 oz per loin end.

Did 5 pork butts over the weekend. Seasoned and wrapped over night then but on the smoker for the long haul. Had two that were going faster than the other three so I let them finish on their own. The other 3 I wrapped at 165 degrees. They took 14.5 hrs on the smoker. I let them rest double wrapped in the foil for 90 min and then pulled them. They went on the smoker at 5:30 am and it was after 10am by the time I finished pulling them. Needless to say I decided to eat chicken on Sunday! They were for a birthday party but after messing with it that long i was craving something different ! The best part was my some had to do a “how to” video for school and wanted to smoke some meat, so he did most of the work ! My wife got me a pit boss Lockhart smoker for my birthday this summer and I really like it!

He really loves it. He has rubbed more ribs and loins than many of my other adult smoker friends. Definitely doesn't settle for being a spectator - digs right in and gets his hands dirty!

I also added this gravity charcoal smoker this year to replace the pellet grill. I had some issues with it until I figured out a switch wasn’t set properly but man does it work nice. Definitely burns more lump and briquettes than the pellet grill did.

Not smoke ( I’ll post that next) but I purchased this infrared steak cooker and have been running it this year. Cooks at like 1500 degrees. 
 

It has made some of the best tasting steaks I have eaten. 
 

far better than boiling in a bag

Um, wouldn't this be a Broiler?  I broil large fish like Tuna, Swordfish, Cod and others like this.  Tastes great! 👍

Nope. Hotter than that. If you disagree take it up with the industry 😁

interesting unit


look up the Otto Grill. Someone came up with it to try and replicate the way top restaurants sear their steaks with high heat. Like 1500 degrees. 
 

then like everything there are companies that took the design concept and offer it for less money. 
 

it is really amazing at cooking steaks. It can sear and cook a steak in like 5 minutes.

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
