Somebody To Double Check My Numbers
I prefer metric. 8% on that mix. Easier to figure out seasoning for uneven meat weights. 15#=6,810 grams. 6810 x .08=544.8 grams of seasoning -

Smoked Salmon Sticks
Could use a little more salt in my opinion. Wife likes them as they are. They hold their shape well, but aren't slim jim stiff. -

Smoked Salmon Sticks
After finishing up the holiday smoking, I thought I'd post up one of my cooks. Since I saved my Spring Chinook for cold smoking, I picked up 3 fillets of Alaskan Sockeye.

Tubesteak Tuesday

Tubesteak Tuesday
Realizing we were out of hot dogs, I decided it was time to remedy the situation. I dug around the freezers and ended up with around 13# of mostly beef chuck, and a small amount of fatty pork butt trim. Monday was coarse grinding, seasoning mixing in 5gal bucket with drywall mud paddle, fine...
