    Proper rub time?

    Radio is right about lots of different answers. I usually rub my pork the day before and leave in the ref overnight. Occasionally, I go two days in ref. It's all good.

    Advice for a new bread board/barbecue board

    Saturate it with drugstore mineral oil. Give it all it will absorb. After drying a few days, wipe off any remaining oil. It will then be cured and can be washed after use. I have used this process on wood used around food for years. Gives it a nice finish too.

    Just bought a cheap smoker, no idea what I'm doing!

    Welcome to your new addiction. You will love it. Don't forget to do a seasoning burn before your first cook. SmokingAl should be along and can post a pix of his method of adding charcoal through the door. Good luck.

    First time sausage help

    You can't go wrong with Pop's seasoning recipe. These guys are steering you in the right direction. I cut mine up in 1" slices, put them in a big pan and sprinkle the seasoning on the slices. Mix well and then grind. This helps to get the seasoning mixed in good as it is ground. We make...

    Lubing Your Slicer

    I still suspect your meat is not cold enough to slice good. Try chilling the next attempt down very cold. I usually put my meat in the freezer for up to an hour just before slicing. Don't let it freeze, but get very cold. Makes a big difference. good luck

    It sounds like your meat is not cold enough to slice good. I only use Vaseline to lube the gears in my slicer. works well and is food grade. Lots cheaper too.

    Ready to throw in the towel on my Masterbuilt 40" Propane Smoker.

    0-30 psi is way too much pressure and don't give fine adjustment as you indicate. I solved my temperature regulation with a simple needle valve using the original regulator as many do. It controls my cooker temp +/- 10 degrees.
