    Left belly for bacon in Pop's brine too long...

    Great to hear a success story like this, I've soaked a belly ( my first ever ) for almost two weeks. And now I have an emergency and have to leave. Will have to pour out some of the brine then freeze the belly, will thaw it when I get back and dry it in the fridge. When that's done I will warm...

    do I need a brine for salmon

    Hello lonnie t No you don't.  I have have tried brines and not cared much for them. Before I smoke salmon I put them in a zip lock bag with "Italian dressing" squeeze the air out and zip it. A few hours or overnight in the fridge works good.  The oil in the dressing keeps the meat from drying...

    A-Maze-N vs ProQ Cold Smoke Generators

    Have had the "ProQ"  and  "A-maze-n" for about 4 years, they both do a good job. The sawdust works better for me if I measure out what I want to use, then dump it on a cookie sheet and spread it around. I then bake the dust at 250* for 30 min. to dry it out. Living in southwest Oregon, things...

    Bolagna Smokin

    Have seen recipes for smoked bologna and just had to try it. Since it's my first time with Bologna I thought I would keep it simple, no rub, just 2 1/2 hr  Maple smoke at about 230* and go from there. Hard to find chub Bologna in South West Oregon, so finally found it in Grants Pass. Got a 3 lb...
