My wife left me earlier this month with my birthday being today. Just me and my dog here to celebrate a very lonely day. Oh, I don't mean she left me for good. She is in MA visiting the daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. I stayed home to keep the dog company.
Anyways, I figure that...
Thanks for bumping, my new grinder is under the tree so the timing is perfect. When you make patties what weight and diameter do you people usually do? I was thinking 3 oz and a thin 3" pattie?
For burgers, everyone has their preference! Smoked burgers offer a deep flavor, while smashed burgers provide a crispy, caramelized edge. Grilling is a classic that gives a nice char. If you're making sloppy joes with smoked chuck, that's a great choice for rich, tender meat. Adding cheese or...
I had a pretty good sized brisket flat in the freezer I got back in February of this year on clearance. About 8 lbs. When I thawed it out, the fat had oxidized a bit, so I trimmed it all off. I'd been saving it for pastrami, but since it had zero fat left on it, and I want a little speck with...
So, for 10 pounds, 4535.9 grams, it looks like the Cure #1 should be 11.32 grams, for 11 pounds, 12.45 grams. I see you use 14 grams of pink salt. Is the pink salt using a different ratio, or should it be the same thing?
You have 4oz salt, 113.4 grams. What was the % salt you are targeting...
Clean up your dirty minds, people.
Went to my buddy's place yesterday, his wife and kids were at the zoo, and we had clearance to use the kitchen for sausage making. I've been waiting months for him to get some time free - last time we did this was Jan 1st. <sigh> Hopefully it won't be this...
Eco cure #1 with salt as the first ingredient, fruit extract, spice extract and vegetable extract isn't cure #1 6.25% nitrite. This label is misleading until you read the site and zoom the label. The label has no way to convert to results and duration of cure #1. It's not nitrates or...
How much are you all changing your recipes from sliced jerky? I got a lot of ground deer to use up and got Venison bacon to make, but still full on bologna.
I have a pepper recipe my wife made and I love it. Black pepper all stuck over the sliced pieces is great. When its all mixed in the meat...

In the past two or three years my taste buds seemed to have changed and what used to be very hot peppers started to be getting milder and milder.
My bacon wrapped brisket/cheese jalapenos began to remind me of stuffed bell peppers, great flavor but the burn was gone.
I wrote it off to 60 years...
Glad you had some birds, they were very scarce here, I did get a limit of skeeter bites and ants had a meal also :emoji_laughing: , I have lost the paper for 1 that had red wine meat tenderizer coriander pepper and I am thinking a splash of Balsamic vinegar, overnight bath then wrap with bacon...
We had my brother and his family over for a football day, so I made a couple pots of chili. The first one was a sweeter chunky style that I've been making for a few years, but I wanted to have a little fun and make up a new recipe with a smoky profile.
I started with a 4lb chucky and rubbed it...
As I have said, making bacon has become somewhat of an addiction, thanks to the helpful folks here Eric @SmokinEdge, Doug @DougE, John @Fueling Around, as well as the other enablers and encouragers here. All of my bacon so far has been 1.75% total salt, cure + salt, and it's fantastic. I really...
Chris,
No, that isn't too dark at all! That looks perfect! And sounds tasty, too! The last couple turkeys I smoked the skin came out almost completely black even though the meat was still super tender and juicy. I will try your method next time and start off at a little lower temperature...
Sorry guys and gals, been busy with weather changes for better and still smoking but lost time to post. But always time to visit and read the awesome work here.
The boys at church had some my samples of bacon and ham I am now "famous " for making lol. Asked me to do some for them when they...
