    Breaking into smoking.

    Welcome! This is a great place and you'll learn more than you could ever imagine! You'll probably pick up new "addictions" here as well.... Like sausage making.

    Fry test with cure #2#2 u

    Just curious, is there any problem with doing a fry test on pancetta before drying with cure #2 (in the proper proportions)? I don't have a hangup with nitrites or nitrates, just kinda wondering about any safety issues. On a side note, would it hurt to consume normal quantities of meat with...

    It's likely not entirely your smoker. MES's like to trip GFCI circuits. Try it on a NON-GFCI circuit and see if that works.

    So what burns longer, wood or charcoal?

    An ounce of lead weighs more than an ounce of feathers. Why you ask? Lead is weighed in Troy ounces, feathers are weighed in avoirdupois. A troy ounce is about 32 grams. An avoirdupois ounce is about 28 grams.

    A new challenge for all you Sausage heads!

    I also feel the hole was made after the meatsticks were finished. Another thing to make the hole: a NEW, WELL CLEANED drill bit. It's metal, it can be sterilized. Notice I said new, not that 40 year old rusty one in the garage you got from your dad.

    Products Not Found in the UK

    Wow. You mean they go through EVERY package and box? If it needs to be there on time, better start a few months early. Over here the x-ray 'em and run the dogs by, but that's about it. Sounds rough, but I'm also in on this side if anything can be done. Uphill battle though. Remind me not to...

    How can I monitor temp of foiled pork butt?

    Posting on the UK Forum

    OK all, here's the question in a nutshell: How do you make it perfect? Answer: you can't. I've come to the conclusion the UK folks need things as they are now. We can still look at "their stuff". If I ever come across a question I think I can provide a valid answer to, I'll join, post, and...
