    Hey I'm back after a long break. Want to start dry during salami problem is I keep kosher and can't find a bactoferm that is. Is there any substitutes that I can use or do I even need one at all. (I found bactoferm cs 299 but i dont know if it would work and i can only buy in bulk.)

    Back after a loooong winter!

    Gonna start up my smoker again for the second season. Wanna really perfect my technique this time. Last season my meat had been oversmoked and not tender. Gotta clean out my big poppa uds before we can even start talking. Looking foward to a good year if smoking!

    I have a 4 pound point corned beef soaking as we speak. Im planning on using a coriander and black pepper. How long should i estimate the cook and to what temp? And whats the deal with steaming?

    Smoked Chuck?

    I have the weber thermometer i know its not the best but i cant afford a maverick. I rested it for an hour in the foil that i cooked it in. I put it in a 9/13 and the covered is that the reason i didnt tightly foil it.

    Smoked Chuck?

    Well i did it. It had a nice flavor bug wasnt soft. It didnt pass the toothpick tes while it was at 203 and i didnt want to wait so i took it off. It wasnt crazy tough but it had some snap. What i do wrong?
