    Mr T's "Smoked Salmon From Go to Show" w/Q-View

    I got some more CR Sockeye Salmon to give 'er another go. I had considered some fairly drastic changes, but decided to go slowly and incrementally on my changes. I used 1/2 c. Morton kosher salt instead of weighing it. The volumn seemed to be a little less than when weighed. Kept every thing...

    Mr T's "Smoked Salmon From Go to Show" w/Q-View

    Mr T & dis1 Just a little follow up. Sorry, if I sounded a bit too dissappointed. I have a tendency to get a little too frustrated at first when something doesn't turn out. After a little chillin' out and rethinking things, I get a clearer head about it all. I followed the recipe as stated, but...

    Mr T's "Smoked Salmon From Go to Show" w/Q-View

    Wow, just tried this one with some fresh Copper River Sockeye. Enough salt to preserve any fish, and enough garlic to ward off any vampire! Both elements were way too strong. Just wrecked some pretty expensive salmon. Not sure if I even want to try to give this stuff away/. It's probably just...

    Jerky curing question w/ vacuum tumbler

    Thanks Rick, I figured if anybody knew, It'd probably be you. Ya, I'm aware that the Reveo Marivac has been discontinued. I could have purchased a good used one several months back, but took too long to decide. By the time I checked back with the guy on it, he had already sold it for $150. Doh...

    Jerky curing question w/ vacuum tumbler

    Is it possible to shorten the curing time on jerky using a dry cure product such as Hi Mountain Jerky cure with a vacuum tumbler? If so, how long of a cycle would you recommend? Thanks

    Need help finding Jerky Recipe post

    Thanks Jim, those look real close. The post I had saved had a little different look, but some of those recipies you posted look very familiar. I'm sure I'll be able to find what I'm looking for in your posts. Appreciate the help.

    Need help finding Jerky Recipe post

    My desktop hard drive decided to take a dump.  Wow, what a bummer that is!      I had tons of info saved on it. I'm now on my laptop that doesn't have nearly as much info saved. I'm trying to find a Jerky recipe post that had maybe 20-30 beef jerky as well as several Biltong recipies. I've been...

    OK, now I'm on the quest for a Manually Operated Jerky Slicer.

    Jerry, thanks for the info. I appreciate anything you guys can offer.  I think I'm going to wait out the Cabelas back order for the slicer I really want. Terry, convinced me to ....continue to use my "knife" to cut the solid muscle meat for Jerky. Us "old farts" will just have to show "young...

    OK, now I'm on the quest for a Manually Operated Jerky Slicer.

    Terry, that's funny right there, now. I don't care who ya are. If you'd get a gander at the steady hand and consistent results of this ole' buzzard's carving skills, you'd be like, "Geez Louise, somebody get this 'ole dude some help!"

    Our buddy, Todd Johnson continues to A-MAZE!

    I've got a pretty long list of "must do" smoking projects. One of them is to roast a whole hog. Well, after being re-inspired by AK1's outstanding spit roast thread, I decided to get off my "duff" and get that hog roast done this year!! One of the criterea is to get it done without breakin' the...

    Great job AK1!! That hog looks fantastic! The color of that excellent, crispy, scrumtious,   juicy looking skin really did it for me. Man I love that stuff. No apologies needed buddy, we really enjoyed the show. We'd like to here the details when you get time. Especially about that split...

    OK, now I'm on the quest for a Manually Operated Jerky Slicer.

    There are 2 types of these slicers that I'm looking at. One is on Cabelas website. SS blade assembly w/ fairly wide base pedestal. Priced at $149, but is on back order for 6-7 weeks. Checked online and found another with a wide base. Not Cabelas, and I don't recall brand. Looks similar though...

    Anyone using a vacuum marinating tumbler for speedy marinating and Jerky?

    I do recall seeing that in Rick and Craig's posts. I just hadn't paid much attention to tumblers before. I also realized that not all product reviews are truely indicitive of a products suitability (lots of boneheaded user abuse and operator error goes on out there, and of course, it's always...

    Anyone using a vacuum marinating tumbler for speedy marinating and Jerky?

    I've been doing some research on these to speed up the marinating process for jerky, etc.. Not finding too info much on them. The commercial units are way too expensive for my blood. I've found some info on MariVac units, but some of the product reviews were not too good. Cheap plastic tumbler...

    More pork from Iowa, Help with some left over rib meat please

    Andy, good lookin' eats there. Gotta love them WSM's, huh. Those ribs will reheat in the oven very nicely. Just wrap them in plastic wrap, foil over that and into the fridge. They'll keep in the fridge for at least a couple of days. When ready for ribs again, remove the foil, plastic wrap...
