It's a rural thing.

Old houses were cold, really cold during winter and you have the fireplace going perpetually during winter time, using some of that heat to cook is just common sense.

Now in a modern home like mine is not that important but i'm still optimizing and saving energy so.. why not ?

Tricky questions, google translate doesn't help when we are naming meat cuts !

The italian mames of the beef cut am i using is called " fusello " and comes from the shoulder of the adult beef.

The italian for sausage is " salsiccia " and every zone have a different way to make it, everyone also claim to make the best one.

The one i use is the one from central Italy ( where I'm from, my family moved from Naples when mom was pregnant) and is made with pork meat mostly second quality meat.

I've used " second quality " a lot in this thread and since i don't want to get misunderstood is time to explain that too!

All the cuts I'm talking about are fresh and very good, they are " second quality " because they are not tender or more fat, for the american friends who smoke beef, the cut are you smoking is considered " second quality/ low quality " in Italy because is fat and if not cooked properly is also hard to chew .

Got one from my high school and one from my Master's team! One stays in my camp kit as my go to waterproof layer. Being able to tuck the tail under me has been great on and off the water. The hood rolls into the collar on mine too.

Most companies suggest drying anything with a dwr coating (this includes many gortex garments, even membrane jackets require a dwr layer to prevent the jacket wetting through). Drying with heat renews this coating, washing also helps clear dirt from the dwr layer which increases waterproofness/breathability.

How come? Arcyterx state to:

> place the garment in a tumble drier on a medium heat setting (40°C / 104°F) for 40 to 50 minutes.

Is that a bad plan?
