  • That Memphis setup KC is rocking seems pretty close to what you are looking for.

      Well, I just saved $750 on my sports court a couple of days ago for opting out of the Drum & Feather in the key, so at least that. Probably ~$1,500.

        Not surprised.

          Hmmm. Looks like I might have to up my budget. Can I expose my extreme ignorance by asking what the biggest difference is between the Memphis vs Traeger or the $800 Louisiana that my Costco sells?

          • You could go with something clean and simple like this. Charcoal/wood burner on left, Lynx grill in the middle, and Big Green Egg on the right. Oh and a mini fridge to the right of the grill.

            • So I did my first of 2-3 big batches of pulled pork for the upcoming wedding. 14 butts. That was a ton of work. Doing a repeat sometime this week.

              We are processing the cooked pork by pulling it, putting it into bags (1 butt per bag) and then vacuum sealing and freezing. Gearing up for this, I was worried about the vacuum sealing part. We have always struggled when vacuum sealing pork. The juice/grease gets sucked up to the top and then it is very difficult to get a good seal. Sometimes pushing down on the lid to increase pressure on the seal does the trick, but it is a huge PITA. We have resorted to putting the bags in the freezer for a while before sealing but that kind of defeats whole hurry-and-seal-before-it-oxidizes logic. And sometimes we lose track of time. And in this case we are talking very large quantities of meat in large bags.

              So in light of this, I did some research into getting a commercial grade vacuum sealer (I have a Food Saver model). I did a ton of research. Prices go all the way up to $1300 bucks or so (yikes) and some of them use positive pressure instead of a vacuum. In the end I opted for this one (see image below).

              Cost = $239 so more than a typical consumer model, but cheaper than most heavy duty models. New company with one product, but the reviews were great. We have been using it for a few weeks, but the big batch of pork was the real test and this little baby came through like a champ. Did the sealing while the meat was hot and juicy and not a single bad seal. It has strong suction, a wide seal, manual pulse and seal mode, and you can select the number of seconds on the seal (default = 4). Fantastic sealer.

                    I FaceTimed with the owner, and it was in really bad shape. I should have known given the price.

                      A bigger smoker.

                      • Anyone ever heard of Rebel smokers? It appears they're affiliated with (or were perhaps bought out by) Assasin smokers.

                        I found a decent deal a few hours from me, but I just can't find out much info on them.

                            I'm considering it.

                              One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
