I have a #22 from Cabela's. It cost about 650 cdn, I'm sure it's much cheaper in usd. It works great on chicken bones.
Thanks guys
With the prices of meat sky rocketing I'm sure a lot of people may be looking into this type of equipment.Have y'all priced hamburger meat lately? Dam.I get a lot of deer meat processed into different things but it still cost.
Funny how the meat prices tracked up with the rising cost of fuel. People had surcharges and delivery price increases due to oil being $$$$ per barrel. Lots of things have not tracked back down with the cost of fuel.
Sort of like. A barrel of oil goes up this morning and pump prices go up at the same time. Prices drop and it takes a week for the 'savings' to trickle down to the pump. Seems like a lot of profit in that week delay.
A little off topic but I agree, meat prices are higher than camel cock. Even the cheaper cuts are high. We have smoked briskets for 40 years. Brisket has always been a not so popular cut, never been real costly. Now every freakin' cooking show on TV is smoking briskets and now you may as well buy a rib eye, or even a filet. Costs right out of the ying yang. EWO
EWO,
The fuel prices taking a week or so to adjust is because the fuel in the tanks at the filling station(s) was purchased at the previous barrel price. So until they re-fuel most times they hold steady.
Meat is extremely high where I live as well. Hell even the cheap cuts of chicken are $1.19 per lb. Hamburger meat here is around $4 per lb, a roast is $6 a lb! Makes one consider raising your own food, but unless you can raise a large number of head it's really even more expensive.

I bought a few chickens to get some eggs layed but I guess I bought them at the wrong time lol. We've been having nothing but cloudy, cool days and they haven't layed a darn egg yet lol. So far they're just pet chickens lol.
I actually went for the chicken raising this past spring. I purchased them as chicks and raised them on my garden vegetables. They were thriving and ultra healthy. I let them free range by day and they went into their kennel (lol) at night. They just started laying in November.
Once it got cold I could not get them to eat feed, they only wanted to free range and became skinny. I tried all sorts of different chicken food, even exotic bird feed with mostly nuts and dried fruit. They were having none of it. They wouldn't touch store bought vegetables or bread, I must have gotten some odd chickens. They were Rhode Island Reds.
Anyhow I fed the remaining birds (the ones my house dog hadn't helped herself to) to the dogs. My dogs never got used to them either, at all. I had to keep them coop'd more and more otherwise with the cooler temperature and wet weather the yard would be a mess. So I'll just get my eggs from the fella down the road.
Sorry for rambling off topic...

EWO nothing I like better than a brisket smoked over some pecan.If you remember ribs use to be a inexpensive choice of meat as well.I have actually killed a couple more deer this year than I normally do.Got a deal worked out with the guy who processes my deer meat but yea it still cost something.
No doubts there. We were just talking about this at the shop earlier. The guys rip me about my Pops back in the day. We cook everything on wood. I can remember as a 10-12 year old kid being in charge of the fire barrel and shoveling coals. Many a night I was up 3-4 in the morning burning wood. Shovel hot coals for 6-8-10 hours. Do everything.
After the cook out everyone would walk by my Pops and say, "Red, you cook one helluva pig/brisket/shoulder". I was like "what the hell".
It took a number of years to appreciate what I learned. Using his methods I can pretty much hang with the best of 'em going whole hog. My briskets are good and every one compliments them but I can't seem to consistently hit them out of the park.
