    Gas smoker - How to generate smoke with low temp

    Hey, I started smoking with a Masterbuilt propane smoker so I will answer these questions for you based on my experience. 1.  It is the heat that is cooking your meat, the smoke is merely just another layer of flavor 2.  The less visible smoke the better.  Thin,  blue (almost invisible smoke)...

    This is awesome!  My mom was a great baker and I wish I did it with her more when she was alive.  Its really cool that you helped your father in law reminisce about his child hood by way of food! -Chris

    Rubs - home vs store bought

    I make my own and use some store bought.  It all depends on my mood.  For beef, I have tried a million rubs, even some that the whole BBQ world swears by and I always go back to rubbing with a little worcestershire and coating with SPOG.  With ribs and butts, I like Jeff's and Memphis dust but I...

    Ok just took my Mothers Day meat out of the freezer. The winner is????

    I wish my wife was more of a meat eater.  She shies away from big cuts like that.  She wants me to make gyros on the blackstone.  I smoked the gyro loaf, so at least I get to play a little.

    tying up a pork butt??

    Some feel that tying gives it a uniform shape and thickness, thus making it cook more evenly.

    Advise needed on grill...

    I have many kettles, and in my opinion the best one for the average person who wants to have capacity, without the enormity of the Ranch Kettle, is the Weber 26.75 kettle.  It is large enough to direct grill tons of food, indirect grill, smoke, bake, etc.  Many times I do just as you say, direct...

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    Thanks so much for noticing that! It was a mistake when I was sharing the recipe.  It is indeed 1 tsp of cure#1.  I actually wondered if the bacon would make it over cured when I made it.  I will edit it in the original post I made.

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    Here's the result of my smoked and sous vide finished jalapeño bacon cheddar sausage: As you can see they kept there color and I can report that their smokiness was perfect. Easily the best texture I've achieved on any sausage I've made

    Confessions of things I haven't done...

    I want to try smoking a pork belly that hasn't been cured for bacon. Maybe some Asian style and finish with high heat to get crispy skin

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    I did 145 degrees for an hour and 45 minutes which is conservative as it's the time and temp for 40 mm sausages(my casings were 32-38mm) also conservative because they were partially cooked already during the smoking process

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    I only opened and grilled one package of them but the texture of the casing was as it always is with more traditional methods. I could be wrong but I always thought the blooming was more for appearance than the texture of the casing. Blooming gives smoked sausage that familiar mahagony color...
