Austin This is why I am liking Walton’s more and more each day! Great problem solvers.

skane Make sure you sign up for team orange! Here from New Mexico

Jonathon I didn’t know Austin had a son that old!

I love the old hand me down knives. I have one from a great aunt that was passed down to me from my dad. Still holds a great edge.

lkrfletcher I think you might have used the wrong mushrooms!

Chef I agree, I have the classic and love them. A good knife makes all the difference.

PapaSop I am sure Jonathan took it in the humor it was meant to be!

Jonathon we had people microwave fish at work and the whole cafeteria would smell for hours, they were finally told to stop!

calldoctoday This has been going on for a long time. Just seems to be when I make spaghetti sauce. Taste comes back and I don’t lose it when making sausage or other foods. I think just the effort in making the sauce over two days and trying to get it right does something to me.

Wayne2020 This site allows opinions as long as it is kept clean and doesn’t attack other members, unless of course they are on team blue! Seriously though this topic has all been in good fun and shows that different people enjoy different flavors.

I don’t think I will grind before freezing, but I do think I will cut up to grinder size chunks prior to freezing. I can then weigh out and make 5 lb batches as that is the quantity that I like to do at one time.

GWG8541 I will probably smoke a couple for pulled pork, but I wish I would have cut up the rest for grinder size. Fit better in the freezer and ready to grind when partially thawed.

Wish I would have read this earlier, good idea to cut up into grinder size chunks and freeze in packages of 5 lbs. Just bought some butts and put them in the freezer whole.

I use cheaper plastic handled knives for processing animals, don’t want to use my good knives cutting around bone.

Chef I agree Wusthof are great knives, my Mother started buying them for me for Christmas. I have a full set and great memories of her when I use them.

I knew you would like them! I was so impressed I bought a Tru Hone, only issue is I have to warn my wife when I sharpen the knives.

I think you will be very happy with the results. I won free sharpening on one of the podcasts and the knives came back very sharp, had to warn my wife to be very careful. By the way Jonathan, those large knives that you sharpened are great for slicing watermelon!

Welcome aboard Jonesy, if you have questions about jerky I am sure they can be answered on this sight. I would encourage you to go to meatgistics and look for jerky to find good info.
