    Spatchcock turkey ?

    So I am spatching a 12lb bird and wondering if I can start it in the oven and finish in the smoker for a little flavor and make space in the oven for the wife’s baking. Thoughts?

    Pork boudin questions

    It’s pretty alright. Just wish the stuffing went better. I’ll be processing elk with my buddy who makes really good sausage and ok boudin. I’ll hopefully figure it out with him. Maybe the leanness if the loin was the problem. And I probably need a better stuffer.

    Pork boudin questions

    It just wouldn’t feed thru the stuffer. Plugged up immediately. Kept adding moisture till I got bent out of shape.

    Pork boudin questions

    Boudin-success. Stuffing in casings-fail. The meat is great. Seasoned to taste with salt and cayenne. Added back stock. Seems perfect. But I’ve never stuffed casings. Called a buddy and he said it’s probably too dry, so I added more stock and rice wine vinegar. Still no luck. Got to the point...

    How long should I steam them? The sausage will be relatively cool for stuffing.

    Pork boudin questions

    Thanks fellas. I wanted to do a pork butt, but none were available. Hopefully it isn’t too dry. I do have some fatty bacon on hand. Should I chuck it in there? I’m 30 minutes into brazing the pork. Too windy to smoke. It’s like a hurricane here this morning, of course. So I have 110 minutes of...

    Pork boudin questions

    So I am going to try my hand at making boudin for the first time. I bought a grinder/stuffer for my Kitchen Aid mixer, and have never made sausage before. Figured I’d try pork before I process some elk trim I have. I’m going to smoke a 9lb pork loin, add a touch of beef liver, rice, sweet onion...

    Baby back rib advice

    I don’t usually use a binder. Sometimes I do but don’t really know if there’s a benefit. Just wanting them to be perfect. Thank you.

    Baby back rib advice

    Gotcha. Thank you. My daughter likes dry rub ribs with a little heat. So I’m thinking slather with stone ground mustard and use a rub I got from Michlitch spice co. Would oil be better or mustard?
