Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
Working for a pork company, we do them all the time, both at work and at home. Our preferred method lately has been to just season them with whatever rub you prefer (any type of sweet rib type seems to work best) and let it set for a couple hours, then we smoke it at about 225 for a couple hours... -

Tyson closing plant in Perry
You will only find Hormel pork at Hyvee, which is basically from Wholestone. But it has been enhanced/pumped with a solution so you really won't be able to tell any kind of discernable difference from anything - which is their goal and why they enhance it. STF and Prestage use a snap chill... -

This is 100% accurate. It doesn't really have much to do with environment from a flavor standpoint - tenderness possibly but flavor is mostly due to intermuscular fat which all comes down to genetics (and how they process what they are being fed, etc). Chilling has very little effect on actual... -

It's possible someone may buy it and repurpose it for something different, such as some sort of case ready or processed meats operation. I just don't envision another Kill/Cut plant there, especially from any of the other big guys (Smithfield, JBS, Seaboard). Unless it is someone looking to get... -

That's part of it. They very much prefer to focus on poultry and beef. They have very little vertical integration in the pork sector, which has been a big advantage for their main competitors for years. -

I am in the industry, as well, pork specifically. Worked for Farmland/Smithfield for many years and have been at a smaller company for about the last 10 that continues to grow and expand. I'm guessing Wholestone won't have much interest in this one; they just linked up with Prestage not that... -

Allegretti, I'm guessing. He is more than serviceable...but not close to what Thuney gives you. Big loss if he's out.- corwags

TV/Movie scenes that make you bawl every time
TV show for me is the Fresh Prince episode where Will's dad comes back and is supposed to take him with at the end but then leaves and Uncle Phil is left to console him..."How come he don't want me, man??" Movie is 8 Seconds when Tuff rides the bull an extra 8 seconds for Lane at the NFR... -

Friday OT #1 - Whatcha Got
Have a full size cardboard Bret "The Hitman" Hart from when I was a kid. Since the colors at our wedding were neon pink and black...he was set up next to the cake table! -

All FB coaching rumors and speculation
FWIW, Brady Quinn just said on his Fox radio show this morning that ND never even talked to Campbell. Sounded like they zeroed in on Freeman from the beginning. -

Hunter Dekkers Commits
Yes, he is a great athlete, for sure. People up here didn't know if he was going to decide on football or baseball; he's got a fastball in the 90's. I think his relationship with Campbell and the staff is what helped make up his mind (plus the Ag college). That's from what I've heard from a... -

Hunter Dekkers Commits
Coach Campbell was also up in Hawarden last night watching from the sideline - saw a good one from Hunter. Should be some good matchups going forward to see if they can win 3 titles in a row. -

Hunter Dekkers Commits
I was at the their Western Christian game. West Sioux was down some offensive linemen and Western had a lot of speed, especially on defense, and was really aggressive. West Sioux was still ahead double digits going into the 4th quarter but Western pulled off a couple of big plays and West Sioux... -
