    Summer sausage casing

    I've seen a lot of posts about what casing to use, but has anyone done SS in a smaller casing? I've wanted to try something like a 32mm collagen casing for a slimmer SS. Any thoughts? Dave

    shelf life question

    How long will a summer sausage last refrigerated in a baggie?  The sausage was cured and smoked about a month ago.  This one package missed the vac sealer and has been hiding in the back of the fridge.  SHould I toss it, feed it to the dog, or eat it and not worry? Thanks for the help Dave

    Odd Stall

    Early Friday AM (1:35) I put a 7# butt in my MES and went back to bed.  At around 10:00 I opened the MES and stuck my ET 705 probe in the butt.  Waited a bit and temp was in the 158 range.  At around 165 we stalled for about 2 -3 hours then began to climb again.  By 3:00 my temp reading was...

    Quick Question on Brisket

    Pretty new to smoking so I'm still not sure of a few things.  I'm smoking in and MES30.  Looking at smoking a brisket flat, maybe 5#ish.  My MIL is notorious for cooking brisket when we go to her house.  Always in the oven, always dry and taske like white I imagine a farmers boot might taste...

    New Smoker

    A fellow hunter pointed me toward this forum with great reviews.  SO far Ilike what I see.  I'm new to smoking, just bought a MES 30 a few weeks ago.  So far a couple great runs with spare ribs and a whole chicken that was to die for. What is an ABT?  And q/view?  I'm guessing q/view is just a...
