    Questions about making bacon.

    Hello, I'm attempting making bacon for the first time, and have a couple questions. First, is a wet cure easier than a dry cure? It seems with a wet, I won't have to worry about the cure being uneven. I'm concerned that with the dry cure, there may be small areas where the cure is heavy or...

    Uses for Beef Fat?

    Thanks so much everyone! I never thought to use it for venison sausage, which I always have used pork fat for. My kids can't wait for the french fries! And "TALLBM" I've thought many times about making beef franks for my kids. They love these and it kills me to think of the garbage in the store...

    Uses for Beef Fat?

    Hello all, My wife just bought a 10 pound brisket (Cap-on). I'm going to trim some of the fat, but don't want to just throw the fat out. I have saved pork fat for making sausages before, but not sure if the beef fat is worth saving. Has anyone out there saved it for anything - if so, please let...

    Disgusting Moldy Smoker - HELP!!!!

    Hello all. So sorry for not following up on this - seems things have been really busy the last few months!!!! So I did finally get it clean. I put the smoker on an old table in the yard so it would be easier to clean. I took anything that could be removed out (shelves, shelf brackets, pans...

    Dusty Wood Chips???

    Hello all, I grabbed an open bag of Mesquite chips and dumped some in the holder, and noticed there was a fair amount of dust on the chips. It is very light like powder. Has anyone ever seen this? I'm wondering if they are ok.

    Disgusting Moldy Smoker - HELP!!!!

    Believe me, I would love to do all these things to my "friend", but as my wife explained, a friend wouldn't do this to another friend.

    Disgusting Moldy Smoker - HELP!!!!

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. The mold is over 1/2" thick in some places, and is about 1/8" thick in most places. Bleach may kill it, but I'm not sure if it will soak in enough to completely kill it. It's a mess.

    Disgusting Moldy Smoker - HELP!!!!

    Gotcha - I meant should I try to clean it first (get the big stuff out) and then plug in to kill remaining, or just plug it in initially and let the smoker get it clean. Thanks for the advice!!!

    Disgusting Moldy Smoker - HELP!!!!

    Hello All, I made the mistake of lending my MES to a buddy about 6 months ago. He used it a time or 2, and returned it about a week ago. I just went to fire it up for a smoked venison roast, and, much to my dismay, my buddy never cleaned it. EVERYTHING is covered in mold - walls, shelves, door...
