Cutting Board Mod. for Slicing

January 1, 2016, 01:10 PM

Well, now that I have some bacon made and soon to be Pastrami the question came up, How to slice it relatively thin? So went out to my wood shop in the Garage with my cutting board in hand and routed a pocket on one side, Not perfect but in a pinch it works, may need to add something to keep the knife from riding up but tipping the blade toward the board like filleting a fish seems to work. How do you slice meats and such without getting a big slicer?

That's an innovative solution ... might need to dust off my router when it warms up a bit more. Meanwhile, I'll still use a very sharp 12" schinkenmesser (long slicer) from Wusthof along with a glass of good Zinfandel to help steady the hand. If that doesn't work, a second glass will help ensure that I really don't care! Ã°Å¸Ëœâ‚¬

Ha ha, that's what I do to :-) A sharp knife gets the job done. Schinkenmesser literally means ham knife, so it sounds like you have the right tool for the job.

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

Powersmoke_80 That is a very good idea. I like it. Simple and practical. Kind of one of those "Why didn't I think of that" moments. Good to see the wheels of innovation are still turning in 2016, hahaha.
When I am slicing, I use an Ultra sharp Shun slicer. That sucker can shave the air off a gnats back. But I like your idea. I may have to barrow that old mans router. Thanks for the cool idea. Happy New Year brother.

Hmmm ... what about modding a cutting board to be much like an old fashioned mitre box?

Thanks,Lol. Its not as clever as the SnS but the wheels are always turning brother! As far as a team, that sounds cool. Thought it would be neat to do silver lake apple festival as I seen the area when we were camping over there last year(2015)a month before it but don't know what it is like. And did not make it over there to check it out like I wanted while it was going on. Any Idea how big it is?
