It's the GREED indeed. Just like where I'm at down here. There is a chain supermarket down here called "Save A Lot" One of the butchers there had 2 pork bellies 6 months ago that he was trying to get rid of in the freezer. I bought one, he priced it as the "Going" market value. So if he bought it at...

Time to defrost and inventory the freezer. Will keep an eye out for pork deals at Restaurant Depot in Tampa. Going to make another batch (2nd) of some Powder Keg, Semi-Dry-Cured Quick Pepperoni, got a lot of "You made this?" first time I made it. The Bactoferm FLC is near the 6 month due date and I ...

The name of the place is Wills Poultry Tasso. It is a meat packing/poultry outfit in Buffalo. I know they do not ship over the internet. When I lived up there it was one of the cash and carry wholesale outfits open to the public. I have no problem with the pork casings, when I get up north I usually...

Got a price from my place up in Buffalo; Pork Casings, bundle, 32-35 mm $13.99, Sheep casings 21-22 mm, bundle $29.99. Seems like the lowest price I seen om the pork casings. Never used sheep casings $29.99 seems pretty good to me. Worth to send one of my sons to grab a couple of hanks of sheep casi...

Wow, some good shooting Ray. Thank You so much for the advice. I got tons of time down here just trying to get a fellow Vet to go out and do some hunting and He was a Marine sniper in the Nam. Thanks Man, MUCH appreciated, Fred

Thank You Sir, Very much appreciated Ray for the time and pictures. Going to see my buddy soon at the next meeting. Got a .270 and a 243 (Too light?) Now I got the picture and it will be very helpful. Will hope you guys get some rain. Again, thanks, Fred

Old stomping grounds up in Buffalo. Here is an outfit 35 years ago we went here many times to buy meats, a box (40 lbs.) of chicken wings at $.19 a lb. $7.60 for a box and I see it now at over $70.00 a box. I am amazed at the products for sale. Naturally there are no prices since they change daily. ...

Ray I know if I "Got up on the wheel" and put the pressure on one of my VFW friends down here I could get into a hog hunt down here in Florida (nuisance down here) . Had and made young wild hog a couple of times done in a Chinese cooker http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/la-caja-china-pig-roast/...

Hey Ray, Maybe you can start a business and export them, hell we export all our jobs overseas! Price went up 4 fold probably by now it it is 10 fold. Just for some BAD news today, went to my store here in Sarasota where I got real good prices on pork. Well, well, ALL cuts of meat I use (butts, pork ...

Was at the Restaurant Depot store in Largo Florida a few weeks ago and saw this broken bag of white rye flour sitting for sale. Have not gotten into making rye bread yet but never knew they had this product in the store. Originally 20 bucks for a 50 lb. bag. That is A LOT of flour but what do you ry...

Superb Ray, Thanks for sharing the info. VERY helpful for future smoking fish. I never used cure, will next week. Thanks, Fred

Nice looking fish Ray, When we were living up in Buffalo got quite a few "Kings' out of Lake Ontario. Now You got me going, Son#2 brought a couple steel head down with him when they visited in February. They are just screaming to get out of the freezer to be smoked. Going to happen next week, Got so...
