    Bacon

    Smoked for 4 hours at 220 with constant smoke. What is great about it is once it comes out its ready to eat like it is. The house smelled like bacon for days.

    Meat grinder

    What are your suggestions. I will be doing a moderate amounts 5-10 lbs at a time. Needs fine to course plates and includes different size sausage tubes. I want a stand alone and I won't buy junk. Replacement parts should be readily available. Also I will not buy from cabelas as they are over priced.

    First pastrami questions

    You got it going right. One thing I like to do is about an hour before you think it's done is throw in some cherry chips to finish. Gives it a flavor you can't imagine.

    Isn't it true you should hang sausages in a cool place to allow them to dry for a bit before smoking?

    Mardi Gras/Big Game Smoking Suggestions

    Buy a corned beef brisket and roll in black pepper and coriander. Use apple smoke at 140 for 1 hour than bump to 225 to a 160 internal temp. Makes great sandwiches and will last for days.

    My Belly Bacon

    I've got the same slicer and it's the blade. due to the way its made it puls the meat away from the guide and creates uneven slices. I sharpend mine with a stone while it was running. Worked pretty good that way.

    What makes my meat black??

    I'm thinking your fire is to close to the meat. In my smoker it's a good 12" from the bottom rack to the wood tray. Dry wood and no bark. I'd try and buy some wood chips and then try again that way you would know if its your wood.

    Rookie Question

    That's all I did. I also ran it at high temp for about half an hour the. Let cool before I did first smoke. I'm curious to see what the pros say also.
