    Vertical Smoker vs Traditional w/ Offset & suggestions

    I have the Smokehouse Vertical from academy. I love the indirect heat and the super damn large water pan. It holds like 3 gallons of water. It is huge insideI can do 9 pork roasts at a minimum, maybe more depending on their size. IT has 6 rod hangers for sausages too. The draft is great...

    Old country over /under or pecos

    I've read on here and other forums that when they are out of stock they show that, but, as soon as they have inventory it will show them. Maybe contact the manufacturer.

    Curing for pork neck bones.....Cure 1 or brine

    Thanks. I am aware of the cure but wasn’t sure if brining was necessary or if the standard cure was sufficient. Thanks again.

    Best smoker for sausage making

    Nothing wrong with your vertical. Don’t sell yourself short. Temps don’t have to be +/- 1 degree. If you know your smoker, how it operates and can handle temp fluctuations you will be good. 20 lbs of sausage is a fair amount for personal use.

    SW La Hot links....

    Family recipe of a couple of generations. It was my grandfathers. My aunt made hot links for a club in St. martinville, La called the Rebop. They were raved about in the area. When she passed only her daughter had the recipe. She shared it with me.

    SW La Hot links....

    Made a 30 lb batch of hot links today. Probably make another back this week. These links have great flavor a a neat little kick to them that linger for 7 or 8 minutes or so after eating.

    Pig cracklings

    SW Louisiana cracklim are only made frying skin and fat in grease and either double fried to get the ski. To pop or heat rue d up high to get over the “stall” where the are bubbles pop in the skin. Those do look tasty though.
