    The issue with the lack of group management may be because, since the move, I no longer seem to be a Group Lead in the UK Group. I only noticed it was missing from seeing other members who have the "Group Lead" tag in addition to "OTBS" and "Premier Member".

    Cure for sausage question

    If the sausages are already made then you may be better to hot smoke them with some additional smoke added - using a tube or other smoke generator. You will find that they will take on quite a smoky flavour. You can then freeze cooked/smoked and then thaw/reheat when you are ready to eat.

    Hello from Yorkshire, England

    Hi Jonty and welcome to the forum. I am from Kent. It sounds like learning to weld would be a good start. What type of smoker are you using at the moment? A photo would be great. What have you been smoking so far? Wade

    There now does not appear to be any way of managing the new Social Groups. As a group lead of the UK group I used to be able to undertake some limited group management tasks which are not there in the new forum.

    cold smoking anyone?

    Initially I too found it to be unreliable however once I started zapping my dust in the microwave for a couple of minutes to reduce the moisture content its reliability greatly improved. It will not damage the WSM but you may need to wipe some smoke residue off the bottom after you have...

    cold smoking anyone?

    Hi Homer An inexpensive solution is to use your WSM as your smoke chamber and either a ProQ smoke generator or a steel kitchen sieve with dust or pellets. Open up all of the bottom and top vents on your WSM and place the smoker legs on 3 bricks to raise it off the ground by a few inches. Take...

    Offset Smoker Mods

    Personally I use a combination of Maverick ET-732/3 and the TGhermodata Smoke but the cost of these is usually quite scary for someone just starting out. There are now several ranges of low cost thermometers that are coming to market that are more affordable. The Inkbird is one of these and can...

    Newbie smoker.

    Hi Mitch - great to have you on board. How are you getting on with the Callow. They are good inexpensive bullet smokers but please be aware that you cannot rely on the temperature gauge - most lid thermometers are fairly inaccurate but the ones supplied with the Callow are some of the most...

    PASTEURIZATION TABLE... or.. how to safely cook your food to a lower internal temperature..

    Totally with you there Dave. It is a but of a psychological barrier I think. Seeing a bit of pink in the joint also makes me think twice - even when I know it is perfectly safe.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
