    MEXICAN BRISKET???

    Hello all, I'm going to a Mexican themed party this weekend, and wanted to smoke a Brisket with a Mexican taste. Any suggestions for a recipe? I was thinking of using a Chorizo sausage recipe, but, aside from that being Spanish and not Mexican, I don't want to screw this up!!! Any suggestions...

    Inject dry venison sausage

    Thanks for the feedback. I tried injecting them with some olive oil and garlic salt, then smoked them. They tasted pretty good w some peppers, onions, and cheese on Italian rolls, but we had a few beers first, so who knows! I think I'll try the Ragu Bolognese for the rest of them....that sounds...

    Inject dry venison sausage

    I used about 60% lean venison, and the rest was pork butt (about half meat/half fat). So total about 80% meat and 20% fat. I used SPOG....nothing crazy. I'm willing to go in any direction that will allow me to save these things!!!!

    Inject dry venison sausage

    Hello all, I made a batch of venison sausage that came out too dry. Test batch seemed ok, but I have about 25 lbs. that is less than desirable. I was thinking about injecting it, or maybe marinating it. I made it w hog casings, so marinating may be an option. But injecting may allow for a...

    Fat Cap w/ Kielbasa or Sausage

    Hello all, I'm going to make some Polish Kielbasa, and I'm figuring this question would pertain to sausage making in general. On some pork butts, there's a thick fat cap (at least 1" thick), while on others it's 1/4" or less, Should I cut that excess fat off when making kielbasa or other...

    MES 40 Bluetooth Raising Temps

    Hello all, I have been having issues with my MES 40 Bluetooth app. Every time I've used it (for about 6 smokes now), it changes the temp on me. I can use it for a couple hours, and then all of a sudden, I see the temp is at 800° F !!! I know the max temp is 275° F, but it sets the temp to the...

    Not sure about brown sugar on ribs

    Hi Chef Jimmy J - Even though this seems like it will be sweet, this is the recipe I'm going to try on my next rack. I like the "Optional" ingredients, and I will try this to ease into the "Sweet Side" I'm so apprehensive about!!! Thanks to ALL for getting back to me on this. And now, I'm...

    Not sure about brown sugar on ribs

    This sounds right up my alley Magnum. Maybe something a bit sweet after the smoking portion. So many people are suggesting trying a little sweet, I'm definitely going to try!

    Not sure about brown sugar on ribs

    Hi all !!! I've been reading a lot of threads that show using brown sugar, honey, and other sweet ingredients on ribs. My family doesn't really care for sweet, and prefers salty. But so many rubs and "foil" ingredients (apple juice, etc.) show these sweet ingredients. Are we missing something...

    Question about AMNPS

    Hello all, I'm kind of new to smoking. I have a MES 40 and a Big Chief smoker. I live in NJ. I am wondering if I should get the tray or the tube for wood pellets, for use in my MES 40. I'm figuring it has to be placed on element, but I am concerned drippings will be an issue, particularly with...
