    Chicken & Maple Breakfast Sausage Recipe?

    The wife recently brought home some Chicken & Maple Sausage that was made by Applegate Naturals. The stuff was great but I am not going to keep paying for that. Anyone happen to have a recipe for Chicken and Maple Breakfast Sausage? Or chicken breakfast sausage of some other variety, maybe I can...

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    Gotcha, yeah at some point might as well get an off set if it costs too much. I just to keep costs down before I do something drastic I think I am going to try to make a pizza pan deflector and play with my grates to lower my temps some. The deflector should stop my issue with the heat being...

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    Thanks so much for that. I also thought about adding a firebox. Were you could to have the heat come up through the bottom or were you going to cut a hole in the side of the weber?

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    I love that idea, my biggest need for the second grate was for cold smoking sausages so I may make one that is a bit shorter than yours. If I build a heat diffuser that alleviates my concern about heat coming directly from the smoke tube and allows me to use the whole first rack and then that...

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    That is nice but I don't think it would work for this application. I might track one down just to have on hand though haha. All yalls great ideas have got me researching thing I would have never otherwise found. I was able to track down a video of a guy making a DIY basket and diffuser which...

    Brining two days early

    I am considering brining a turkey 3 days early and then letting it sit for 2 days in the fridge so the skin dries out so that I get crispy skin. Any issues with this? If you are familiar with Alton Browns brine, it would be that one, and then I would be putting herb butter under the skin and...

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    Ah gotcha, I might call around and see what can be found tomorrow. I had seen those before but I only have seen folks use them on smaller pieces. Before I put the cart before the horse here... would there be a appreciable difference between this sort of set up and a true offset? Right now I...

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    It is a 22" Weber Kettle. I have to tools to cut a hole in the bottom (would probably just drill a hole and then use a jigsaw. I am starting to consider a 55 gallon drum now too. If I am going to go through the trouble of cutting through some stuff might as well be even larger haha.

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    Thanks for all the advice guys, now I am questioning my entire idea haha. I am realizing that building a nice cinderblock offset smoker might be cheaper but who the hells knows, certainly not me.

    Converting Weber Kettle 22 to WSM with an extension?

    I am hoping someone here knows where to get a vertical extension for the body of a weber kettle so I can turn mine into a WSM style. I need more room for cold smoking and would love to get the snake further away from my brisket when hot smoking

    Chicken Bacon Ranch recipes?

    Chicken Bacon Ranch recipes?

    Yeah, will do. I think next batch I might add cure to and then smoke them in addition to adding a cheddar. For these I am going to just serve them on a roll with ranch on top and then bacon bits haha. This is only my 2nd sausage so I have alot of learning to be done.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch recipes?

    Also, is there anyway to preseve the snap of a sausage? I didn't get it with this one with natural hog casings. Might have made the farce too wet.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch recipes?

    Yeah, I tried to do the math as best I could. We shall see how it turns out. Just gave it a try. I tasted a little bit of the farce but I think i tried to cook it at wayyyy to high of a temperature so we shall see after I let it sit in the fridge overnight and do my normal routine.
