Alright. So I wasn't on this forum for this party last year, but since I'm here now I figured I'd share this occasion with everyone. The actual party isn't until tomorrow at 1 pm and is following my daughter's Baptism tomorrow morning at 10 am.
This is a party we do every year and the date...
FW, thanks for reviewing it. I got mine yesterday also, but I was to busy to even do anything with it. It indeed is a little light but reads fast. I'm with Gary's thinking that for $10 and reading accurate within 5-6 seconds is A OK with me. The C thing I didn't realize because I never messed...
These 2 cuts are practically the same cut of meat in that they provide a nice meat/fat ratio. You're good using either. Just do a little trimming and your dicing it of some of the sinew and you're good.
Well as Dave has described, cold smoking provides a more thorough smoke of the hunk of meat. Are you not happy with the smoke flavor or is it just the color you'd like to work on? What's your main goal? Then we can maybe help plan out a process that'll get you there. Of course, it's gonna take...
Well better results is a subjective matter so let's leave that aside. Color is something that is measurable and I'll comment on that. Those that are getting a deeper color with less amount of time in the smoker are likely warm smoking and not cold smoking as you are. When cold smoking, color...
That's far to hot to be smoking bacon. You'll get fat out that way and that' why you see some juices on top of your slab of bacon. The color change your seeing is because you took a cut and picture of the slab when it was hot. When it's cooled down, the fat is a brighter white color and the pink...
Well since it's already cooked the only thing that comes to mind is making some Boudin. Here's a popular recipe, but I think Foamheart has a recipe and thread also. Trying searching for it.

Any idea how it was cooked and with what ingredients?
If you can stick to getting a hank. The home pack is just filled with random lengths of casings. I like that I can pull and load a full length of casings onto the horn and stuff if 1 full coil. I didn't like have them separate. That's just me though.
I found a local grocery that makes their own sausage and bought a hank off of them. It was like $20 and I've been using it for a good while. Otherwise, Butcher Packer sells them as do most other online retailers and Amazon.
mummel, not that I don't agree that Masterbuilt's warranty leaves something to be desired, but the manual specifically states not to expose the smoker to rain at anytime. If it's not getting wait, I see no reason why it would rust in a short period of time.
