    Problems with temp! Help!!!

    It sucks when things like that happen.. but at least you have a nice cooker.  I think if you cut the opening up from the fire box to the cooking chamber you would be able to reach temp with no problem. good luck. aaron.

    Problems with temp! Help!!!

    The first think I saw was the opening from the firebox to the cooking chamber.. that is way to small.  It looks like you have had plenty of help so far but I am interested to see how this turns out.   I used an angle die grinder w/ a metal blade to cut all my metal for my smoker.  If you have...

    Natural Curing

    Good stuff here.  I know I am interested.  I recently had a discussion w/ a work peer about home curing bacon.  He quickly spoke up about the nitrate free bacon he gets from "said store".  I had to explain to him how that was not true.  That it still contained nitrate/nitrite.  Well that lead to...

    Question on smoking a Turkey

    duggy OK,  after the bird finishes cooking let it rest until cool.  Cover it and put in fridge. (don't carve that night, there wont be any left! LOL)  The next day I would go ahead and carve before guests arrive.  Place the meat in a baking dish, legs too.  I add a little chicken broth to the...

    Anyone use a "Radical" secret ingredient?

    I second the coffee grounds.  I use that on my brisket.  I freeze my pork butts hole sometimes and later put then in a crock pot in the morning for dinner later that night.  I put a cup of left over coffee in with the butt.  Really compliments the meat. Good luck with your new addiction. Aaron.

    Question on smoking a Turkey

    Cook it the day of.. when you set it on the table and carve into it.. you will have to fight everyone away.  I follow the basic brine w/ my turkeys but I also add a couple of oranges, lemons, and limes.  Cut them in half and squeeze and drop in.  I like to add a scoop of my rub to the mix also...

    Question on smoking a Turkey

    I would definitely brine the bird.  I think that is the key to good results.  I also feel that it will allow for some leeway with over cooking. Not that you are going to over cook it but you can bring it to a little higher temp and it will still remain moist. The rest of the info is spot on. ...

    1st attempt at Canadian Bacon - want to make sure I don't screw up...

    I may be a little late on this one.... I mix everything together then rub the meat down really well.  Putting them in ziplock bags and rubbing them everyday will help distribute all the "goodness". I think you will probably see some juice forming after a few hours of curing.  I do both.  I...

    Venison Jalepeno Pepper Jack Summer Sausage - QView

    I do appreciate the recipe.  Thanks a lot.  I have not used Morton's cure but I do use cure #1 in my sausage recipes.  All I need now is to order some of the casings, I have been using butcherpacker.com for all of the products.  If you recommend the Morton's over the pink salt I will be glad to...
