All,
I have a Pitmaker Safe and had it for a few years but have a question on smoking venison sausage. Is there a way to get the smoker temps at 125F to 145F without buying a cold smoker? I don't want to buy another smoker. I have a Big Green Egg and a Recteq, but none will do any cold...
Hey all,
I been smoking meat for a while but I am so done with my MES40 that I need a new smoker. My goal is to smoke Jerky, Summer Sausage and all kinds of pork.....So I was just thinking on building a backwoods clone or a fridge smoker. What are your thoughts and how big smoking chamber I...
Hey Folks,
I am going to build my first fridge smoker and I found this fridge. Is this a good fridge to build? Do I need one with a lower compartment? Here are some pics of the fridge. Thanks for any help...greg
Hey all,
I have done a couple batches of summer sausage in the past with great results but this time I am very disturbed of what happened. I used a PS seasoning mix with maple cure to do a batch of venison and pork butt. So I changed my ratio just a little bit from 80/20 to 60/40. That might...

Hey folks,
I smoked a lot of vension but really could not get that kick in my sausage that I was looking for. I usually do the jalepeno and cheese mix but want a more kick.
Does anyone know of a really good spicy or hot venison summer sausage recipe or mix to buy online so I can make sticks...
Do you dry out the jalepenos in an oven before you mix with meat or just cut it up into little piecess and in the meat? I am making some tomorrow. Need advice...Thanks
I just smoked some salmon yesterday in the new MES 40. I will have to say it did a great job. Very even cooked on the top rack for sure.
Here is the negatives:
1) The meat temp probe is off about 10 degrees on the high side. Verified with my Primos remote temp guage. Can't say what the older...
