    Buckboard vs Morton dry cure

    Geez Dutch, I just looked in on the site I mentioned and right there in the describtion for High Mtn Buckboard Cure he recommends the same cut of meat that you use! I guess it pays to read sometime and not just look at the pictures.

    Buckboard vs Morton dry cure

    I might just have to try one of those butts for bacon. Thanx Dutch. I'm a good friend of the guy who owns the Sausage Source, www.sausagesource.com and his store is in the next town over. One of the lines he stocks is High Mountain. I have a running tab there just like some people have at the...

    Buckboard vs Morton dry cure

    Dutch, I always though pork bellys was the cut to use for bacon. Does boneless butts give you as good a product as bellys? I would think the thickness would have an effect on the cure.

    DUTCH'S GOURMET COWBOY GRAVY

    Now you're talkin about something as dear to me as smoke cooked food. Real pizza, with honest to goodness authentic pizza doe, not some kind of crappy bread doe. And a good calzone loaded with everything. The last time I held a bag of heavenly zepoles I was 18 years old. Now I'm 57. Thats way to...

    DUTCH'S GOURMET COWBOY GRAVY

    A fatty,,,, now thats an unusual name for a sausage. I'm from northern New Jersey originally. Right near NYC and Italian is the predominant nationality. And they say we talk funny! LOL A fatty there would be the mother of the Italian girl you're dating. You would never marry her because she's...

    DUTCH'S GOURMET COWBOY GRAVY

    Hey Earl, I'm a New Englander, please enlighten me as to what "crumbled fatty" is. Out this-a-way that would be the overweight person who just took a flight of stairs ass over head n' shoulders. :-)

    sausage making and smoking supplies

    I was in there this afternoon. He had a cooler that wasn't bringing the temperature down and he wanted me to take a look at it. I had to pick up a pkg. of hog casing anyway. He was smoking some shrimp in a Bradlee smoker which I promptly pigged out on. He also has a stand right outside the shop...

    Another post about the Sentry gas control valve

    I've got 10.5"WC at the burner. Right on the money. I checked that long ago. My valve just doesn't work like it's supposed to. I finally got in touch with the company. Talked to some nitwit who said she's been with the company for 5 years so she knows what she's talking about. I told her I've...

    Another post about the Sentry gas control valve

    Thats what I did with my set up. All I have to do is undo the whole burner and turn it 90 degrees to line up with the TCV. Thats how I found out the darn valve is NFG.

    Another post about the Sentry gas control valve

    All well and good Earl but that kinda defeats the purpose of having the control valve in the first place doesn't it? I was hoping to tweak that valve right down to a cold smoke temperature but still be able to use it in the slow cook range of 250 and up. By drilling out the oriface it doesn't...

    Another post about the Sentry gas control valve

    Well, after getting and installing my Sentry gas valve from that Lousianna turkey fryer supply place I find out the thing doesn't work. All I can get is a half inch flame out of it which hardly gives me a 150 degree temperature. Very disappointing. I'm glad I didn't hack up the original manual...

    More Pix of Temp Control

    I got my valve in the mail, and attempted to install it in line between the tank regulater and the manual gas control valve thats on the smoker. Like Earls, mine didn't work. All I could get was a half inch flame and very little temperature. Then it dawned on me theat I now had 2 gas orifaces in...

    More Pix of Temp Control

    Earl, by any chance did you use teflon tape to make the brass connections like the poster did? Normally you don't use tape for this kind of gas connections. Small pieces of tape could break off while screwing connections together and lodge in the small openings. Just a thought, but you may want...

    Propane smokers

    Thats good enough for me. Guess it's time to pull out the ol' credit card. I got the same problem as you. The love of smoke cooked food is severly overcome by the inability to give it the time required. Thanx guy. :)

    Propane smokers

    I'd be interested in knowing what the operating range is on that propane control valve. It has to be a pretty wide range. The ideal temp for smoke cooking which we all know is 250 is way to low a temperature for any kind of deep frying. If that is the low end of the valves operating range I...

    hi mtn jerky

    Buzzard, sounds like a pretty sucessful endeavor. Last year I bought a cheap meat slicer from Harbor Freight. I think I paid something like 29 bucks for it. If it had a brand name it would probably be POS. But hey it works for me for its intended purpose. All I use it for is slicing meat into...
