generally speaking most pork loins now days are pre injected..  and that is some thing most people do not realize....  I'm not saying yours was..

 

Not if you buy fresh cut chops from a local butcher shop. That being said, I do like to brine pork chops.

Cooked a chunk of backstrap on the pellet grill. This was the first time I have tried one whole. It turned out awesome. I cooked it to about 135. Seasoned with Montreal steak.

Have a few feeling good days before another round of chemo on Tuesday.  Stopped by Grundhofers Meats and picked up a couple of their version of Wagu Ribeye's. Pricy but time for a treat. Pai

Porchetta on the grill.   Great with horseradish and a cold beer.

That's why I said "fresh cut". The butcher shop I go to sells locally raised pork they slaughter themselves.

Ok so it wasn't a fresh cut pork loin so it was probably injected. My response to bobberineyes was that I didn't inject it with anything. I'll look at the package next time to see what all was added. Sorry for the confusion!

I'm not arguing, just stating that meat doesn't have to be purchased from a big box store or come from a national slaughterhouse. Lots of small town butcher shops slaughter locally raised pork and beef. 

 

Mike89, how long ago were you the inspector in that shop? Are you USDA or State of MN?

I was USDA, Greg G. and his wife owned then..  I was there in the early 90's...  and you are 100% correct, but you would be surprised how many do not know that...  that is why I do not have just one go to place to purchase different cuts of meat and processed products...  that was a darn good plant back then and I'm sure it still is...

If the local butcher is buying box pork, maybe.  Ask to be sure.

That was 2 owners ago. Greg was a good guy but he might have been hard for an inspector to deal with. He had a cabin up near Battle Lake that he used to let me use it when he was not using it. Now he built a house on the property and lives up there.

 

The main person who owns it now used to be a co-worker of mine back in my grocery store days. I've been friends with him for probably over 25 years. That plant is now state inspected instead of federal.

I've been to that one a couple of times. They have some good stuff too.

They are good. Greg had 2 kinds and one of them had sage. The new owners rarely make the sage links but those were my favorite.

Ha! The keg was for Independence day and that was a long time ago!

 

Let me know if you swing through the area some time, there's always beer in my garage fridge and I can introduce you to the new owners.

 

I have actually been helping them out one or two days a week since my business is slow and thiers is busier than normal. I am watching the counter as we speak this morning while the guys are slaughtering 16 hogs. I help them break down and cut up pigs on Wednesday usually.

 

Do you still talk to Greg?

You should ask if they will sell unprocessed half hogs again yet. I tried this winter and it was a no go. Sucked having to go else where since the are only like 3 blocks from me.

 

What do you mean by unprocessed? Just killed and halved? The only reason I could think would be that they would have a half hog to get rid of all the cuts. Or did they give you a different reason?

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
