    First Fatty

    I have a few questions or rather lots of them. How many pounds of sausage did you use? I have a new MES 30. What times and temperatures did you use?

    Fatty number 1. qview and what i would do differently

    I like the idea of eggs in a fatty. That plus some potatoes and cheese reminds of a breakfast casserole from years ago. It was cooked in an oven so there was no smoke involved. Are you precooking the eggs a bit to thinken them up? I can just see me pouring a bowel of eggs and then having them...

    Where is spring? This newbie smoker has a newbie, MES smoker, untried and untested. Northern Illinois is just cold.

    once more experimenting day with Q-view

    Oh, Oh, so much to learn. I will be 62 this year. I wish that this forum was available 50 years ago. Then again, I would probably be 50 pounds heavier. My weight is 155. That was my weight when I went to Viet Nam so long ago.

    First Fatty

    As a 100% newbe, what is the definition of a fatty? It looks mouth watering. Tom, the unknowing

    Chicken Cordon Bleu ??????

    I idle in the back ground. My new, unused smoker sits in my shop at -2F tonight so I'm just trying to absorb some wisdom here until spring arrives. Lets just say that I have a 15,000 cubic foot freezer in the winter. The aluminum foil idea idea instantly makes sense to me. One roll of foil...

    Chicken Cordon Bleu ??????

    I would like to see a few more pictures and an explanation of how you did the bacon wraping. It looks like basket weaving. I can easily imagine this being served at a high end restaurant. Would it be possible to half way cook or smoke the bacon first? Then a bit of warming to make the bacon...

    Pork Loin w Qview

    A newbe here would like a better understanding of "filleting and stuffing". I think I get the filleting but the stuffing could be very interesting. Thank you Tom

    Country Style Ribs

    This is torture. I bought a smoker and then winter dumped in northern Illinois. I have a shop but it is unheated except for an unconnected wood stove. Well, I'm off for 10 days over the holiday. A good friend said, "Hey your peak vent are still open. You can smoke inside!" So I will hook up the...

    TQ confused ?????

    Winter has come really early and hard. It will be about 5F tonight and we have five inches of snow. I need to go out to my shop, assemble the smoker, the wood stove and start a fire.

    TQ confused ?????

    I want do do ground sausages like brats and polish until something else tinkles my fancy. I am the canary in the coal mine for food chemicals. I have had to avoid all processed meat like sausages, lunchmeat, hot dogs and frozen birds for at least 15 years. When I chanced upon smoking and...

    Finally started to get some sausage making equipment

    I have an MES smoker, a grinder and a stuffer coming. I would like recomendations on a meat mixer. I looks like natural casings are the way to go. Do casings need to be frozen until they are needed?

    TQ confused ?????

    I ordered a book on making sausages but your link sure has me thinking about curing. I had never heard of curing before smoking. I can tolerate nitrates and nitrites but other preservative chemicals will hit me like a sludge hammer. Is curing the order of the day?

    Sausage Recipe suggestions

    I usually save a bit of clear bacon drippings for doing fried squash. Would a drop of this work or should I surrender to full flavored bacon?
