    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    You mention the sausages should be vacuum sealed. Is that for the sake of the sous vide rather than the sausages?

    Thoughts on smoking ribs the day before a party

    I did some ribs a couple weeks ago for a carry in at work. I smoked them all the way the day before, 2-2-1 for baby backs, and brushed them with sauce. I cut them into individual ribs that night, and threw them in a crock pot bag, and in the fridge. Next morning, put them in the crock pot to...

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    I've seen a lot about these but don't have one. I finished some SS in a hot water bath last weekend on the stove and it worked fine. Am I missing something on these units? I know they are expensive. I think I would just do sausage the same way I did.

    NEPA Coal Region Soupy Sausage

    What's the point of putting them in the oil? I'm not familiar with this type of sausage.

    I would be interested to know about this. I've tried deer ribs and they were also tough.

    First Day Back to Work in 2017

    Man, after 4 days straight of smoking meat, going back to work today was brutal. The addiction is real. So real I was thinking how I could streamline my sausage making process. The local grocery has pork butts on sale for $1.19/lb. I decided to pick up 2 on the way home. I plan to grind...

    4 Day Sausage and Smoking Marathon

    Haha, I'm okay on freezer space right now. We have an upright freezer and a fridge freezer combo in the basement. Those are in my domain, and the fridge freezer is basically a beer fridge, and used to hold all of my smoky goodness. Have a baby due in March, so don't think the wife will allow...

    How long to cold smoke fresh sausage?

    I'm still fairly new to smoking sausage, but from what I've learned, if no cure is being used, you need to follow the 4 hour rule. Meaning the meat has to go from 40 degrees to 140 within 4 hours to ensure there are no issues with things like botulism. Some of the others here can chime in...

    First post... Mixed smokehouse day

    Very nice. I hope you have a large grinder with that amount of meat. This may be your first part, but your definitely no newbie. Not with a smoker like that.

    Eyeyeeeee. How long does that take? You guys did a good job of hiding the beer cans in these pictures. A batch that big would require more than a couple blue cans to finish.

    Smoking 300 racks of ribs!

    Dangggggg!!!! 300 racks. Is the smoker your building going to be on a semi trailer? Whatever you do, I hope you take pictures and share on this site. Also, is someone going to use the smoker commercially for a business after said ribfest?

    Please tell me you have something more than a 5lb stuffer, aND a meat mixer. I'd like to know what kind of equipment you have. I can't imagine making 150 lbs of sausage at one time. It all looks great though

    Kielbasa for New Years

    I really liked the kielbasa, I'm thinking maybe andouille. I've been meaning to make some jambolaya, abs that would go perfect in that. I also have some snack stick seasoning coming from a butcher shop near my hometown. Best snack sticks I've ever had. But I looked into the UMAI dry...
