    Smoked pork neck issue

    I don't know much about neck meat and how the muscles in the neck look, but could it be because the top section has plenty of fat in it and the other section doesn't have much for intramuscular fat?  (Like comparing pork butt vs pork loin.)

    What kind of digital thermometer are you using?  It isn't a digital readout on the smoker is it?

    Andouille stuffed pork tenderloin

    Started by running a metal scewer through the length of it, then ran the handle of a long wooden spoon through the hole the skewer created. Then stuck my fingers through the hole and worked it until it was bored out enough to fit the sausage. I suppose carefully poking a filet knife through it...

    Pellet Smoker as a grill to?

    Huge benefit to PID controllers IMO. I bought a RT and won a Traeger a few weeks later. Used both and gave my mom the Traeger. No comparison in regards to temp swings.

    Andouille stuffed pork tenderloin

    They really weren't that big. They look bigger with a couple pieces of sausage crammed in them. It would have been much easier with a loin, but they were sold out.

    Andouille stuffed pork tenderloin

    Thanks - they were quite good.  I do exactly as you explained with pork loin when I stuff it, but for this one, I really wanted to keep it intact (mainly for the cool factor).  This is a loin I stuffed with stuffing and sautéed sausage, mushrooms and onions.

    Computer Server Cabinet Smoker

    Sorry - just saw the above post now.  The inside of my cabinet was not painted.  I would error on the side of caution and sand blast the inside if it is painted.  We only used grill paint on the outside of ours.  We saw no need to paint the inside.

    Bad luck on Amazin pellets again.

    I've found the tube to work much better than the tray.  It seems to me you don't need as much air flow.

    Andouille stuffed pork tenderloin

    I picked up two pork tenderloins last week and decided to get creative. I stuffed them with my homemade andouille sausage (NOLA recipe) and wrapped them with bacon. I had a bit of a difficult time boring a big enough hole through the tenderloin, but was able to make it work. It turned out...

    A warning if you MIcrowave you AMNPS pellets to dry them

    I purchased a ton of pellets last May/June timeframe and keep them on a pallet in the back of my tuck under garage.  No issues whatsoever.  I have never had to dry them in the microwave either.  I recently started using hand sanitizer gel as a starting agent and it works fantastic.  I stand my...

    Ha e I been grinding wrong?

    For my Andouille, I run once through a very course plate (and I cut up some small chunks to mix in like the NOLA recipe calls for). For most everything else, I run it through a course plate and then a medium plate.

    Venison Snack stick mixure ratio

    I've always done 2/3 venison to 1/3 ground pork butt.  I know many people that run a 50/50 mix, but that seems like too much to me.  If I were you, I would add another 15% pork or fatty beef.  You don't want them too dry.

    Pellet Smoker as a grill to?

    Cut from my reply on the other post: Temps of 350 - 400 are no problem. Gets up to 500 if needed. Grill grates will help with searing if you want that ability. It will take 15 minutes or better to get to those temps. Pellet smokers definitely have a milder smoke flavor than what some are used...
