My wife gave me a smoker for Christmas and I'm trying it for the first time.
I have been MIA from this site for a couple years, but I'm back now. I hope to share the completed pics when I'm done.
I'm also from Western ohio
I built my whole smokehouse of wood. I've hot and cold smoked in it so far and works great. It looks just like a outhouse and I build a fire right inside it. The only down side is keeping it hot enough but its a work in progress to get it figured out. Hope this helps
I sliced a meal so far I couldn't resist it any longer. I haven't figured out q view yet and I'll try to work on that. Is there a amount of time I should leave it set before I slice it?
I made 50lbs bacon for the first time yesterday. It was beyond awesome. I soaked it in pops brine for ten days. Then in the homemade smoker for a cold smoke for 20 hours. I'll never buy store bacon again.
I've seen a lot of people say on here you will have a lot of headaches using your grinder to stuff with. I've never tried but I could only imagine how much of a problem it could be. If you are going to do this for some time invest in a stuffer:welcome1:
