    Smoking chunks of baby backs

    Cut them into individual pieces, wrap in bacon and smoke them. Add rub before and after wrapping. They are pretty good this way. You can also do the dino cut where you cut along both sides of every other rib so have twice the meat. Ie removing the adjacent bone.

    New Stuffer Conundrum

    I think your auto stuffer costs a lot more than mine did in the long run, but the benefits of doing this with friends and family is priceless.

    New Stuffer Conundrum

    Problem solved. LEM sent me a 30% off code for halloween. I decided on the 10 lb motorized stuffer which should fit my needs perfectly. The convenience of having both hands free with the foot pedal working the motor during stuffing was worth the extra $ in my mind. It arrived this morning.

    Rotatory Cuff and Cyst Surgery

    I would have ice for the ice bath pump. Also button up very loose fitting shirts. Lotsa patience as it is a slow recovery.

    Thanksgiving Turkey

    The 165 degrees for safe temp is an old recommendation. Current is 157 for turkey. The dark meat needs to go higher to break down but I dont have an issue cooking breast to 157.

    How many curing chambers do you run with all the different types of cures you do, varying the temps and humidity? I would like to attempt this sometime but will likely have to wait til retirement in five to free up time. I have had grains for a batch of milk stout sitting in my man cave for...

    Throw-down voting: Poultry

    All look fantastic. I smoked a couple of turkey breasts but didnt turn it in because i didnt like the picture. Lack of artistic ability strikes again, but they tasted really good.

    Tip for anyone struggling with casings…

    I sanitize anything the meat or casings may come in contact with, even the sink. Just overly cautious on my part. Habit i got from beer brewing. Nothing wrong with bleach provided rinse well which can be hard to do on things like handles, countertops, etc. Different strokes for different folks.

    Tip for anyone struggling with casings…

    Not sure I would put casings directly in the sink like you are showing, but that may just be me. The sink is one of the germiest places in the kitchen. I just use a bowl. Has anyone ran into issues doing that?
