    Red Wine Salami question

    Red Wine Salami question

    Thanks Chopsaw. Yes, they are perforated casings. I also thought that was a long pre-smoke hold time. The recipe (video) says anywhere from 3-7 days and this was the first opportunity i had to smoke (6 days after stuffing).

    Thai sweet and spicy sticks recipe tweak advice

    Hello! I made some sticks using a recipe that i found and they came out really good. I want to tweak the recipe in the next version to include soy sauce (for more thai flavors). I am concerned with the salt content, however. How much would you lower the salt (and water) to account for the...

    Auber or Inkbird?

    I can do the "get drunk" part, not so sure of the "on my head" part....it's usually on my a**. Thanks for this summary. I will perform the surgery on my MES30 today and then try this out...hoping for the best and know that when i can finally figure it out, i'll be a much happier smoker for it.
