    Venison Snack Stick struggles

    I thought about doing some uncased ones as well. How do you like the finished product compared to cased?

    Venison Snack Stick struggles

    This is great! Anytime dealing with sausages and things like that, it is always said to keep things as cold as possible, so I always had the meat chilled. I will definitely give this a shot!

    Venison Snack Stick struggles

    Howdy all, I've got a situation with snack sticks that I need some guidance on and was hoping you all could help a first timer out! Sorry in advance for the length of this!! Deer season is approaching, so I thought I would clear out the freezer and make a batch of snack sticks. Got it all...

    Rosemary in brisket rub

    This may be an odd question, but does anyone use rosemary in their brisket rubs? I love rosemary, and I am wanting to customize my brisket rub a bit, instead of it just being a standard rub recipe I found online or a bottled rub from the store. I just haven't seen much in regards to people using...

    Brisket with hard underside on Pit Boss

    I probably need to give fat side down a go, since so many have recommended it, and it does make sense. A lot of the BBQ guys I follow here in Texas are running stick burners, so of course they go fat up. I'm learning and adjusting with every cook and fat down may just need to be an adjustment I...

    Brisket with hard underside on Pit Boss

    This is great...I am absolutely on board with having a water pan under the brisket, and that shelf looks like it could do the trick!

    Brisket with hard underside on Pit Boss

    Hey there everyone, Sorry in advance for the long post...I can get a little long winded. I have a Pit Boss 820D3 and I love it for the most part. I have made some great food with it. I cooked a brisket this weekend and something I have run into is that the bottom of my briskets (and pork butts...

    Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24 in. Propane Gas Smoker?

    I have the SV18. I like it pretty well. I have turned out some superb poultry and smoked steaks. Tried my first brisket this weekend and it worked pretty well, but the 24 would be better for briskets and ribs due to the size. Smoking at really low temps is difficult. Will need to purchase a...

    First brisket (sorry in advance for the length)

    I was even telling my buddy the whole time, "it's not so much about the IT as much as it is when the meat gets tender.". I should have listened to myself, haha!

    First brisket (sorry in advance for the length)

    I wasn't going off of the factory thermometer. I have a ThermoPro TP-08 that I have used with turkeys, chicken, sausages and haven't had any issues, so I doubt it is the thermometers. We did determine that my buddy's thermometer on his smoker was off by about 25 degrees. Sounds like a consensus...

    First brisket (sorry in advance for the length)

    What's up guys!? Been a while since I have been around...had my first kid a couple months ago, so life has been changing! It has been great though... I wanted to detail my first brisket cook for you guys and see what your thoughts are on what I need to do differently. I will try to be as clear...

    Running outta last years deer

    That looks delicious! I have been anxious to try a venison neck roast. All the guys in my deer lease (who have hunted much longer than me) never keep the neck meat because they say it tastes like dog food, haha! I know that cannot be true, because I see so many people eating neck roasts, even...
