Stem: If you are still in the evaluation phase, the Masterbuilt 30” electric was the best smoker for the money I saw on the floor at Bass Pro imo. I believe Home Depot has them as well; however, may be the wrong time of the year for stock. Salsa Lady spoke well of hers in the...

Warm and then immediately hot water bath canning process.

+1. Good stuff!

7 Pots? Kinda looks like the red and yellow 7's I grew this year.

Nothing exotic: Jalapenos, cherry bombs and sweet bananas (for wifey). Pint jars, Morton pickling salt, and inexpensive white vinegar. Sometimes I throw in a couple garlic cloves.

FWIW. Was in Bass Pro Shops the other day checking out smokers. The Bradley I saw there, while seemingly very well constructed, had imo a rather flimsy rack setup. The steel gauge used for the racks was less than the other floor models and when I pulled the rack half way out the whole thing...

The following link may be relevant to your interest evaluating various smoking methods. I had been considering electric, but now I am not so sure. I have a cheap charcoal box smoker that is no longer satisfactory; difficult to control temperature and has one single door (major issue). When I...

Killing time so thought I’d give this thread a bump. Agree with ^ on Opalka. Outstanding flavor and very sweet; they will continue to be a mainstay in the tomato repertoire. No problem with ripening here in southern Michigan, had a bumper crop this year. Combined with Roma III, they make...

Back on topic, no Großmütter (mine was German)! My 2¢ based on what I’ve tasted from my own pepper patch: Mild: Cumari, extremely prolific. Medium: Aji limon/lemon/limo, Aji Pineapple (all taste pretty much the same to me) Hot: Fatalii (without a doubt)

Procedure used: raw ingredients boiled to soften, contents pureed in blender, sauce strained, to remove seeds, etc., returned to pot and spices and vinegar added, simmered 15 min., tested with wine making litmus paper for pH (I know, do not have pH meter), xanthum gum added (no separation in...

A question for the sauce experts. I have been using a sauce that was made back in October; a basic Fresno sauce with the usual ingredients and white vinegar. It has been stored in a woozy in the refrigerator since it was made. I have been using it three or so times a week. For the last week...

Chileman.org lists them as baccatum. This may not be the end all in classification; however, this is my go to source for plant information. Had four plants in the ground this year. Tthey were definately late ripeing in my grow zone. They are worth the effort though; make a mighty fine powder.

We all have our "trendy" peppers, superhots and off the wall, hard to find ones. But can one really have a pepper garden without a few jalapeno plants (serrano also) imho. I like green mostly for poppers. In general, I prefer the taste of jalapeno's once they turn red. The flavour seems a...

Blood Meridian – Cormac McCarthy. Epic tale of the Kid vs. Judge Holden set in the west circa mid-1800. Outlaws, Indians, banditos in the wild west. Just read it; you can thank me latter! (FYI – author also wrote “No Country for Old Men”). The Road Home – Jim Harrison. This is his follow...

Milk, time and running around the house! No one forced you to eat it did they? Remember, we eat the superhot's for the experience.

Responding to Madhat's post from above: The seeds were supplied by Chris Phillips (cmp1974) last year. He's one of the experts on THP. He labeled them to me as I to you. My belief is that if they were "brain strain", he would have labeled them as such. Chris appears to be very meticulous about...

Leo Kottke Don't know if he's underrated, just one of the best.
