I just got a Jerky shooter and I have no idea on how to begin making some venison jerky. I have made venison summer sausage before but I want a different style and taste. Any recipes or suggestions on what to do is much appreciated. Thanks
Does the smoke go through the casing? I dont use casing on mine, but rather just roll them into logs and set them on the racks. Seems to work awesome for me.
That seems about right on with my time for a pork loin bigbirdk so i wont sweat it. Everything tasted awesome so that's what really matters than the wife and I both have loved everything so far. I live in Indianapolis sarge so I would suspect that im not real far above or below sea level. I...
I fairly new to smoking so maybe its just my newness but my smoker seems to get up to IT temps very quickly. For example I did a salmon filet and it took about 1.5 hrs to get up to an IT of 140 with a 200 temp setting. A pork 6 lb pork shoulder took about 3 hrs to get to an IT of 165 with a 225...
I made these over the weekend and holy crap they were awesome. I used a different rub and didn't soak in Sprite but they were unbelievably good. I am a sissie when it comes to spicy stuff but they have just the right heat for me and my wife without soaking in sprite.
This may sound like a dumb question but when you put your meat probe in do you do it so that the probe is entirely into the meat or do you just stick it in so that its in the middle and leave the rest exposed to the inside of the smoker? I was under the impression you wouldn't want to leave any...
Do you need to put the roast in ice water in the fridge to bleed it out for a 2-3 days prior to marinating it? Does this really do anything or can I just marinate it for 2 days then smoke it? I plan on putting some rub on it and putting a few cloves of garlic into the meat too.
What IT should...
I had no idea that you would need to string the butt. Is this a necessity or will it smoke fine without doing it? I got a rub recipe on here from Chef Jimmy J for a bone in pork shoulder and it was out of this world delicious. I put that on earlier today and have it sitting in the fridge until...
Next time I will not wrap in foil until the end and see what happens. Just took it out of the smoker and put it in the cooler wrapped with towels. How long should i wait to take it out?
Thanks Jbills! Been waiting awhile for some help. Maybe everyone has a case of the Mondays. haha I took it out at 165 and wrapped it in foil and now its back in the smoker. I am trying to get pictures from my cell phone to my computer but my phone is a POS. I did not spritz this time because i...
I am a rookie to smoking so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been doing a lot of research on here and have already used one of the rubs. I put the rub on and let in sit in the fridge overnight and now have it in the smoker at 235 degrees. The question I have is about spritzing and...
