Just made ham and swiss stuffed chicken breast wrapped in BACON, holy crap were those puppies good, if I can figure out how to upload pics i will. So far i can't say enough about the bds
I have had 35 different types of smokers. The Bradley's are by far the best ones i have had.

I sense the inevitable onset of Irrational exuberance taking place...... :D
When was the last time your wife gave you something as good that put that big a smile on your face? Hee Hee ;D
Isn't it great seeing the incredible food that comes out of a BS...... This is one hobby my wife encourages fully and supports me when it comes to add ons and such. When I say "I am busy smokin' dinner", I am usually immune from "honey does" or even brought a beer.
I fed her boss some ribs the other night........ went over well.
I have even tied all these great meals from the BS to my other interest, hunting and fishing...... I HAD to buy this really nice ladder stand this fall so I could perfect some venison recipes.
Yup, smokin is good!
i can surely relate to the spin off of equipment that is about to follow right behind the bds for instance, that 1 hp commerical grinder for making sausage ,the one from cabelas.Can anyone relate?

The 1hp is our most popular model. Stuffs casings with ease, anything bigger than 1hp will blow the casings out. (found out the hard way)

Sorry to hijack the thread SmokingHotPapa.
Nepas,
What can you give me on this grinder? A buddy of mine gave me a $100 gift certificate for Christmas and then I saw this on sale, so I ordered it.
I don't do a whole lot of grinding or sausage stuffing but thought I'd work into it.
Is this a decent model?
Thanks!
SD
Papa, you can thank me later for reminding you about the bacon wrapped chicken breasts! :D Seriously, I'm glad the BDS is doing everything you want it to. Looks like Mama gets that new Escalade next year!
Smoke on Papa!

The 1 hp is a very good grinder, I have the 1hp, downsized from a 1.5 cuz it was just too much for casings. We sell more 1hp than the larger grinders.

Hey Nepas,
I forgot to include the link:
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0044811517628a&navCount=1&podId=0044811&parentId=cat280028&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat602009-cat280028_TGP&catalogCode=7IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat280028&hasJS=true
Mine is the Pro450. That is the 450 watt model. Not sure where that figures out in hp. Like I said, I don't do a whole lot of grinding or stuffing (yet) and felt it would be okay to handle what I need at the moment.
Thanks!

That one is the next one up from the heavy duty grinder. They are pretty good grinders. Just shy of 1/2hp and you should be fine with it.

I have the Cabelas's 1hp grinder along with several attachments. its all the grinder I need. I just finished butchering 7 pigs and 12 deer. so I have put it through several large grindings. Along with the grinder I have the mixer and jerky slicer. The 1hp is a work horse. You won't be disappointed with the grinder.
KyNola.... SmokinHotPapa wasn't kiddin' when he said they were good! They were awsome... The only thing I would do next time is put a little bit more cheese in them and I would probably use the pepperjack! We all know, the more cheese, the better! The recipe calls for 2 peices and I only used one, as I thought I was gonna have a tough time wrapping them... Live and learn. They were still very good and I will certanly make the again for company! I put this recipe in his cookbook and wanted to try them since I made the cookbook! Thanks for the reminder!
About the grinder.... HA! I think I have created a monster... LOL.. That Ma'ma is cool, but she is still not gettin' him the grinder for his birthday in 10 days! LOL ;)
Mama, I was just kidding but thanks all the same. I wasn't kidding about you getting the Escalade though! ;)
KyNola
<------ is just wondering if SmokinHotPapa is listening... he-he ;)

Ya gotta love that!

Hey Walleye,
You wanna help me out with this 'cause unless that grinder is the Escalade model, there could be a definite issue in Papa/Mama house. :o
KyNola
I may have to do what Arcs does....
"Drinking at a Distance"!
:D :D :D ;D
Mike
Ah, a reliable strategy if I must say.. :D
Do what I do: tell the wife I'll flip her for it.
After I've flipped her ( I know kung fu) and she awakes from the daze, I usually get what I want ;) ;D But, we're a rather progressive family.....this may not work for all, so proceed at your own caution. :P
Duck,
I'm going with Walleye and Arcs on this one. I am much more experienced at drinking than I am at kung fu although I have seen a couple Bruce Lee movies. ;D

"But I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night!"
:D :D :D ;D
Drinking.............. at a very great distance. Yup!!! :D ;D I can do that ;)
I have to agree smokin duck my kung fu skills are off a bit but drinkin skills are right on target, besides its kinda give and take here at the ranch, not to metion mama just got a new suv(no escalade)but u can see who gives and who takes. LOL, its time for big smokin papa to get him a great big grinder RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Be careful there Papa...I'm sure Mama's got cast iron!!! (Just commenting from a distance... to quote a sage!!!) :)
LOL... You guys are halarious! Okay, so I did get a new Jeep Commander... That is a pretty even trade off... LOL It is the "gift that keeps on giving!", ya know... What a hoot! Happy Birthday to Papa, that it! However, I might have something fun coming from the Iceman! :-X
Speaking of cast iron... It is multifunctional, ya know... It also makes the best fried taters ever!
You guys might wanna stop in to the SmokinHot household... It is "nothing but fun"! LOL ;D
(Mama is busy thinking of something else fun that she might just have to have! HA!)
Mama
Is it Papa's Birthday? If so "Happy Birthday Papa!" (ya might as well go get the grinder too) ::)
Oh ya.... My birthday is tommorrow & I just ordered the Cabelas 1hp grinder and the 11 lb stuffer from S.I.R. here in Canada. Apparently Cabelas bought out S.I.R. and are slowly introducing their line of products here in Canada. It's great for us Canucks because it's much less shipping and brokers fees.
Mike
Mike.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! Naw, Papa's bday is actually the 21st... However, if he orders it now, he will get it jsut tin time to be grinding away on his bday... YEY!
Oooo.... Are you excited about the new grinder? You and papa will have to share some stories and ideas... I can see it now... Too much power and the casings go flyin' across the room! he-he! LOL ::)

I definitely want to get into making sausage so I'm pretty excited. Been doing lots of reading on it. (and droolin'). Should be a blast for sure! The only draw back is it's being shipped by Canada Post. I think they still use dog sleds and horses! ::)
Man... are they slow sometimes.
Mike
holy crap it's d day i'm setting in on the cabelas order, 1 hp comm grinder yey! Just so you guys know i did'ent need permission to order it, she did get jeep!!!!!!!
Better tell her Papa...cast iron bad in middle of night grasshoppa!!! :)
Yeah, papa, but I've gotta agree with LQ. She will forget something as small as a Jeep in a hurry. Remember me posting something about a Rolls Royce? That would be forgotten in a month or so. So, in order to protect our manhood and keep mama in a good mood, at least mention it before the credit card bill arrives. Speaking from many years of experience here, but I still haven't learned. But I can give advice to others... ::)

nothing mama can do now it's on it's way, oh by the way ask mama about her brand new kitchenaid stand mixer i got her for xmas it's the bomb, the biggest one they make 575 watts of pure mixing power and it still cost more than my grinder ha! poor me!!!!!!!!
OK Papa...you get a hall pass!!! :) :)
LOL.... Damn, I hate those hall passes.... For some reason, he seems to get a lot more of them than I do... ::) What's up with that? HA!
All is good in the ma/pa household.... I am really looking forward the the grinder, as well. He got a pretty good deal... I also love to cook, so this is going to bring a whole new dimension to things... YEY! Not to mention, the KitchenAid is bad-arse! ;)
Mama knows that she is gonna benefit from this whole grinder experience in more ways than one... ;)
"Nothing but fun!"
hall passes are good thank you, now lets not forget i did not get the jeep!!!!!!! lol
Man at least you get a hall pass. All I ever get is a boot to the dog house.
And now thanks to La Quinta I have to keep coming up with this carrot stuff >:( :D ;D ;)
Imetion something about rocks and Anns ears perk up.
I mention something about ice and Anns ears perk up.
I mention something about carrots...............yep you guessed it.
All I can think of lately is what Ron White said about truth in advertising.
Diamonds..........................That'll shut her up!!! :D :D :D ;)
OK papa, mama and LQ look like they are getting ready to gang up on us (which probably wouldn't be a bad thing), so we need to keep our arsenals loaded. Charge something else!
I love the pressure their putting on us ontrack but mama knows to much heat and papa will spend, cabelas has lots of things that papa needs!!!!!!!!
Oh...you silly...silly men...(sorry about the carrot thing Ice)...well...not really sorry so much...um...I need more sauce so I should probably shut up huh? God bless you Ann and all of yours. Can you make the sauce? Ya know...just in case???!!! :) :)
Hey Mama...you got a sweet deal with the Jeep and the KitchenAid...you go girl!!!

Go get that drink! :) By the way Arcs...I do have Romulan Ale in our outside fridge. Only one bottle left...gotta go back to Vegas and get more!!! I must admit...I had a throwdown with a Klingon about a year ago...one of your kin I could only imagine? :) :)
In Vegas next week......
Will look for the Romulan ale
Cabela's says SPEND, papa, so you might as well enjoy it, and explain to mama when the bill comes in 8)
Ahh...at the fair...so pick me up some at the Hilton...???
just cracked open an ice cold beverage think i'll go and smoke something!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suggestions anyone?
I just checked the Cabelas website and I am reading 450 watts for grinders..... how does that compare to HP? Which model would you recomend from Cabelas?
