    Who makes the best stick burner out there?

    Interesting thread, I'd never heard of the PCC smokers until I read the comments about them here. I am looking for a large stick burner to get my BBQ business up and running and am torn between a custom built by a no name shop or a professionally fabbed and tested one. I live in Tennessee and am...

    Sweet & Spicy BBQ/Teriyaki Venison Jerky

    No cure in that mix, Bmudd, I just used regular kosher salt and spices along with the liquid ingredients. That batch has already disappeared and the second batch I made on Tuesday is nearly gone as well!

    First time jerky making prep

    Sorry, I wasn't clear on what I was saying. I was talking about the tender quick and meant tbs, not ounce. Seems like you guys got the science down with those precise weights and measures.

    Growing Garlic

    I have a few cloves of garlic that sprouted in the fridge and instead of tossing them, I thought maybe I could grow them. The problem is that the soil is pretty poor where I live and I really don't have space for a garden so I thought about planting them in a pot. Any thoughts on that?

    First time jerky making prep

    The general amount of curing salt to use is 1gram (appx. 1/4 tsp) to 1 pound of meat. As for that sausage, it contained BHT/BHA and citric acid which all act as preservatives, not cures. These are added in place of cures like sodium nitrate to prevent the spoilage of fat. I have used store...

    Sweet & Spicy BBQ/Teriyaki Venison Jerky

      I have been hanging around the forums for a bit and this is my first "cook" related post. I have been infatuated with smoking meats and making BBQ for a long time. I've smoked salmon in an old gas stove converted to a smoker, pork on a Brinkmann Vertical charcoal unit, various BBQ cuts on a...
