    Question for Sausage smokers

    When you smoke your sausages, do you smoke them until they are totally cooked (165 degrees), cold smoke or something in between? I had seen some pics on this site where someone had done a 4-5 hour smoke, but they did not look fully cooked. I remember growing up and having smoke sausage that was...

    Someone vandalized my smoker!

    I am getting over it and hope it was just a random thing. I took the door off and worked on it an it looks like it may work. If it doesn't work, I will just replace the door. I am smoking a pork loin tomorrow, so I will see what happens. I have respect for other people's possessions as I know...

    Someone vandalized my smoker!

    Came home one night this week and the dumpster in my yard was overturned and I noticed that my smoker (MES) was out of place and the door was open. I closed the door and latched it and noticed that the hinges were bent like someone tried to rip the door off. I had it a little over 2 weeks. I...

    Dried Beef recipe?

    I think so. It was quite thin and you could slice it paper thin and it would hold together.

    Dried Beef recipe?

    During my college days (many years ago), I worked part time at a meat market. During deer season they would make dried a dried beef (venison) out of the hind quarters. It was in a mesh and smoked. We would get them from our other store so I didn't see how they made it. We would slice it paper...

    How many also Homebrew

    Like the styles you have labeled on your kegs. SNPA is one of my favorite brews. How close was your clone? Did you use extracts, partial or full mash? Will you share the recipe? Also a California common! Wow when can I visit! Cheers!

    How many also Homebrew

    I actually have first time brewers brew with my equipment before they go out and buy their own equipment. I will let them borrow my equipment until they want to venture out on their own. I had a neighbor who worked for a soda company who gave me 5 pop kegs as well as CO2 tanks. For a while I had...

    My first batch of Pepperoni snack sticks on MES

    I have used hi temp cheese in the past, but thought regular cheese tastes better. I used shredded cheddar in this because I was lazy. When I am not lazy, I will buy a brick of cheese and cube it into small chunks. I also leave the stick in one big long casing and bake it that way and cut them...

    How many also Homebrew

    Been homebrewing for close to 20 years. Started because I like microbrews and imports and at the time I couldn't get anything but domestics in ND. I have made several really good beers and just as many like BigAl was talking about (TP quality). The good ones are really good however. Now I can...

    My first batch of Pepperoni snack sticks on MES

    But it is a package mix called Grandpa Josh's Pepperoni Snack Stick. It is easy and really really good. I put some cheddar cheese in it. In the past, I made it in an oven. But in my smoker, it is truly amazing. If you like more spice, I put pepperjack cheese in it and it kicks it up a notch. I...

    How many also Homebrew

    I am new to the forum, but was wondering how many also homebrew. I brew my own wine and beer and know a lot of fellow home brewers who also like to smoke meats. I have also been making my own sausage for years, but have tended to make most of it fresh. I was afraid to smoke sausage, because I...

    New NoDak Smoker

    Like I stated in my original post, I have already benefited from this forum. My sticks turned out wonderfully and am doing a second batch today. I can't believe how well it worked. Can't wait to start with some chickens.
