    Three turkeys brined, cured and smoked on the Smokin-It #3

    Looking forward to seeing the smoked photos.  I've been wanting to try turkeys using a cure, wonder how it affects the flavor.  You'll have to give us your opinion on these. Thanks for sharing!

    Picnic ham - Updated, we're out of the brine!

    CF, yeah, that's one of the problems of looking at the posts here.  I must 10 recipes for stuff I would like to do tomorrow! Thanks Case, I always save the bones and stock from the ham.  I'm really looking forward to the smoke flavor this should have, and how that will taste in a soup.  Think...

    BRINKMAN 1500 WATT HEATER AND AUBERINS PID

    Hey Rackrat Looks like your post is so specialized no one it chiming in.  Doing a quick napkin calc using ohms law, if you're getting 120 volts from your power company, your 1500 watt element should be pulling about 12.5 amps.  Even at 110 volts you're at 11.5 amps, not sure why your 10 amp...

    MES 40 Gen 1 & Beef Jerky...

    There are a lot of MES 40 owners here, and they all love the smoker.  The gen 1 is the way to go, I understand, as the gen 2's have some real issues.  The electric smokers work very well with jerky, as they are very good at temperature control. Will you have a 50 / 60 hz issue with a unit...

    meat tasted like campfire

    Hey shaner, I looked through your posts but can't see what kind of smoker you have.  Sounds like a creasote problem. Did you leave your in and out vents open during the smoke?  Have you had a problem with your other smokes? The cheese may still be ok, it will mellow after 3 or 4 weeks.  I...

    Picnic ham - Updated, we're out of the brine!

    OK, I've been flipping this in the brine and checking it every other day for 26 days, it's been torture.  Pulled it out of the brine this morning, everything looks good, no smell or slime or anything funky: It looks really red in the photo, not sure why.  The brine was a deep tea color...

    smoking/oven combo cooking time question

    Hi bmar The 40-140 rule is going to apply to your turkey, which means you need to make sure it goes from 40 degrees to 140 degrees in less than 4 hours.  Make sure you have a dependable thermometer you can use to test the temperature deep in the breast meat or in the thigh. If it were me I...

    Green Liquid Curing Ham-steak

    Any chance you can supply the ingredients of the cure?  How's it smell?  There are a lot of people here with a lot more experience than me, maybe someone else will chime in. Everyone here is very safety conscious, so I'm pretty sure the consensus is going to be 'if you have any doubt, throw it...

    Wednesday Thanksgiving Turkey

    Looking forward to the updates!  Got some great-looking helpers there.  I love the dynamic of kids helping, as it transitions from taking twice as long because they're helping, to where it actually goes faster because they're helping.  Have fun!

    Canadian Andouille

    Disco This is definitely going on the 'todo' list.  One question, my family does not like spicy food, and as much as I do, my system just can't handle it anymore.  Where would you recommend reducing the heat? Thanks!
