Most larger manual stuffers are not recommended for sticks specifically. The pressure per square inch is to high. The electric stuffers do better. I have a 10# LEM and they recommend stuffing sticks with it. I just did a run of 16mm sticks and they went perfectly. The consistency of the meat...
I use a lot of Knorr brand chicken bullion granules. I have no clumping issues in the cupboard but I’m fairly dry here humidity wise. Maybe you can transfer the bullion to a mason jar with a canning lid. That’s pretty air tight set up.
My bet would be to ignore everything that comes off the Treagar as far as temp reads, don’t trust them at all. This is the process of mastering your pit. The temps displayed on the smoker is generally a general idea within 20-25* of where the pit and meat actually are. Test a independent therm...
I just ordered more onion and garlic juice. Been using this for many years. When I was a kid my dad used to buy garlic juice in a bottle that was green and shaped like a garlic bulb (small) this stuff is not as strong but gets the job done. I use it in my injection cured meats to add that garlic...
Looks good. Happy birthday Chris. Stay safe over there. If they don’t get those fires under control I’m afraid the whole place will end in ashes from the looks of it.
Nice story, thanks for sharing. I’d hit that sub pretty hard for sure, nice work. Next you will have to try that with Picanha which is just top sirloin.
I use a cooler for the bath but any food safe container will work. I don’t recommend water bathing at home at more than 5# at a time. So if doing 10# just remove about 5# to go in the water bath and leave the other 5# in the smoker. The bath usually doesn’t take longer than 30 minutes but that...
I’ve never had to, but Marianski says as high as 190 for a short time is ok if needed.
All of this temp lag is why I finish most sausage either water poach or SV.
Hello @lisa b ,
I like to keep some pleated bags on hand from Food Saver. They are 11” bags with pleated side to open up to about 16” for large meat pieces, then fold back down to 11” to seal on a standard machine.
Question is, do you offer this style of bag? If not, would you consider making...
The meat is still fine. Thaw it, then carefully go over the surface of the meat and skin off any freezer burn. It’s never more than 1/16 th of an inch thick. and trim the top and sides of the surface fat. Cook and enjoy.
