    marinating time-length...

    Spuds, I make ribs, pork butts, brisket, etc. at 225%  That's low and slow cooking.  Anything over 170% is considered cooking, not dehydrating.   I sent you a PM, go to that site and you can post all the questions RE this topic.  Listen to Chuckwagon the Moderator, as he taught Microbiology at a...

    marinating time-length...

    Hi Spuds.  The reason to use Instacure #1 is, when you put moist meat in a smoke environment and dry at 160%, it provides the perfect situation for the forming of nasty bacterial growth.  The smoke removes the oxygen.  If you cook it over 170% it probably won't be a problem but than you're...

    My aunt's husband will not share......

    I'm sure if you went to these sites, you'd find something similar if not better- Food Network, greeneggers.com or others.  The best revenge would be to find one better than his.  As far as what things are in it that he's not telling you, I would say- salt, white pepper, cayenne, granulated...

    Smoked Wings On A Sunday

    When I make smoked wings, I brine them first.  Ends up a lot more moister final product.  Can't beat them on the BGE.

    Well starting My Ham! /pics

    This may clarify it. There is a gland that is buried on the back side of a hog's ham ... under the fat ... between the muscles ... that you need to always remove. If you don't you will know it. Like most glands ... it is nasty tasting. Many times I have helped hunters with their meat and too...

    there s no camel section!!

    Go to Google search engine, type in camel recipes, they have quite a few or at least you'll get some ideas or leads.  One interesting one is, whole cooked camel.  I'd like to see the size of the cooker for that one.  LOL.

    Rytek's recipe and Cure #1

    I adjusted his 3 lbs. recipe for 5 lbs. of ground venison or 90/10 beef.  I agree with the 1 tsp.of #1 per 5 lbs. of meat.  Instead of smoking, I add 1 tsp., no more, of liquid smoke to the mixture.  Gives it a hint of smoke flavor with less work.

    need some help on attempting a goose and squirrel

    I season inside and out with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder.  Slice apples and onions, then stuff  the cavity with them.  Wrap outside in bacon, cover with a cheese cloth and than smoke.  Also, the goose was skinned.

    What are the jerky basics?

    Tons of recipes around on various websites.  Don't get the temp over 165, as than your cooking, not dehydrating.  Make sure you use a cure but normally it doesn't last long enough to need it.  You'll save a lot of $$$$$ doing it your self.  Have fun.

    Pastrami

    Did you have smoke on it for the entire time.  Also, how long would all night be.  Going to do One for the Mrs. for Valentine's Day and just wondering if I could do it during the day, let it rest and serve that night.

    Rotating Jerky in Smoker?

    I do mine in a dehydrator.  Every 1 1/2 hrs., I rotate, top to bottom and front to back.  I do it for 6 hrs and this get's a more even product.  IMHO, all smokers, etc have hot and cold spots that give a different end product.

    Fresh Boar Bacon Question

    Don't add more Instacure than recipe calls for.  Go to texasboars.com.  Scroll down to recipes.  They have a lot of good info on everything re feral swine.  You have to be a member to post but can read the posts.  Only one guy had a belly big enough to make bacon.  Most say it's not worth it...
