Pork steak does not taste anything like a regular steak, but they are delicious. It's one of my favorite.

Unlike beef steak, you definitely want to make sure the internal temperature is anywhere from 145-160 degrees. Don’t recommend eating undercooked pork ever. Have a great weekend.

Talk to an engineer, I would put a column under the joint between the meeting point of those two metal beams you are installing. Unless you oversize the smaller one you might be overloading it when you weld the much longer one to it.

[@nancyjacobs5842]

[@valspannbauer3334]

Cole, installing your I-beam is very simple. Follow me on this, cut a hole next to the door of your stairway. A little bigger than the beam, in the wall of the house not the foundation. Now you'll need to get a long cable & blow a hole in the end of the I-beam. Stretch the cable across to the other wall & make a matching hole like you made on the other side. Take your telehandler & squeeze the I-beam with the forks. Next take your bobcat, attach the cable to your bobcat & you'll need to build 2 cribs. Pull & push the beam, hopefully you'll understand what I mean by this. Good luck to you, and I really hope this helps.

[@GordonWade-q5x]

Structural beams are generally not welded together, rather beams are bolted together. It is far stronger bolting flanges together which gives surface tension. Welds will not be as strong and will be far less surface connecting to each piece of steel

[@habeeb102]

Hey Cole, love watching all these videos! You should definitely make a picture book that shows the whole process start to finish and descriptions on decisions, problems and solutions. This would be a book just for your family, I'm sure future generations would love to see the history behind the house and all the effort that went into transforming it.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very nice work Cole and Roman

[@JKPowersports]

The finger on the thumb meat is a trick that many chefs use. It's how I was taught when I worked in the food industry, but nothing beats a thermometer. I used to cook all my steaks by feel but now I use a thermometer. 130 degrees on a steak is so much more tender than going by feel

I like to marinade my pork steaks then cook them low and slow on the grill. Its just sliced pork shoulder which is a tougher cut than pork loin. Marinade helps tenderize and cooking on lower heat helps render down the fat better which helps make it more tender too. Tasty if do e right but can be chewy if cooked too hot and fast

Here's a grilling tip for y'all, especially for the 'white meats' like pork, but works real well on red meats also. GRAVY MASTER. Yep, you heard that correctly. Slather the meat up with Gravy Master (it doesn't take much!) and then season and cook. Trust me, it doesn't seem like it would make a big difference, but it really does. Try it, you'll like it!

Corey, What I do know about cooking pork 🐷 it has to be cooked enough to avoid exposing one's self to Trichinosis, from being under cooked.

[@NotKev2017]

Most of today's pork isn't exposed to that. A little pink is fine, but not red or bloody.
