    interesting ideas for smokers

    The first one I made was out of a double door reach in that somebody gave me. That was the nice part,, all stainless steel. I ended up using only half for a smoker and the other side was storage for wood etc. and the thing ended up being way to big for my needs so out there in the snow she sits...

    hi mtn jerky

    Buzzard, use both. Hit the jerky with smoke for about an hour then finish it off in the dehydrator. That works out well for me. Before some people complained the smoke flavor was to strong.

    interesting ideas for smokers

    http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/index.html I'm off all week recovering from surgery so I had lots of time today to just surf the web and try to happen upon a decent site or two. While clicking away in the Smoke Ring I came across this pretty interesting site. If anybody out there is thinking of...

    Meat Mixer

    "I guess the good news is the beer will not get warm as fast seeing that my hands are so cold" LOL, well thats gotta be worth something! Actually I paid less for mine because he gave it to me at cost. (I keep his coolers alive when they break, also at cost) 149 dollars for the amount of sausage...

    Meat Mixer

    Whoa dacdots, change in plans. I just tried the mixer for the first time. I take it your mixing paddles are like mine. Two T shaped inner and two L shaped on the outer welded around a SS shaft. I only had 6 lbs. of meat in the tub and don't know if that makes any difference but in all honesty it...

    Meat Mixer

    Fer sure dacdots, 125 RPM would probably be slinging meat all over the place. I'd guestimate half of that.

    Meat Mixer

    Oh I know I'm gonna like it cheech. Even if I never get around to motorizing it. I work outside and its not to pleasant on the hands in the winter. I don't want my hobby being the same way.

    Meat Mixer

    I'm an HVAC tech so I've got all kinds of pulleys and sheaves sitting around in the work shop plus I got a nice little 1/4 HP motor. I figure on about a 2 inch sheave on the motor and gonna have to experiment on the pulley sizes. Who knows maybe something as big as a 10 inch. The first hurdle is...

    Plans for smokers

    I've never seen anything like that but I must admit, as much as I love smoking and the end results of my time and efforts doing it, if I were fortunate enough to aquire something as nice as a 51 Ford pick up I wouldn't be hanging meat in it. Just one mans opinion.

    sausage making and smoking supplies

    Check out this site www.sausagesource.com. The spice mixes are Ricks own brand and they're fantastic. Give em a try. The prices for equipment aren't bad either. I have the good fortune of living only a few miles from this little shop and you'd be amazed at the amount of equipment he can pack...

    Meat Mixer

    I picked up one just like it smoke blower from my local sausage and meat smoking supply store. I haven't tried it out yet either but I'm looking forward to not torturing these old hands in that 35 degree meat. I never thought of mechanizing it though. Thats a heck of an idea. I got most of what...

    Well I went right to the source. The color will fade but the nitrites will be OK all long as it's sealed and dry.

    cure shelf life

    Does anybody know about how long a batch of cure will last after it's been opened. I have it sealed in a plastic tub and out of the light. I just don't know how long I can keep it until it looses its potency. Anybody know? Thanx in advance

    Smokers

    I know 2 seperate people who both own Bradley smokers. They both like the convenience of the auto feed but neither is to thrilled at being able to only use those pricey little wooden biscuits for smoking.

    ham brine and bacon brine

    Salmonclubber, I hope you didn't fall for the book and video deal like I did. The video is basically an infomercial for King Ryteks products. After I received the video and watched a portion of it I called the company and complained about it. They gave me credit for the cost of the movie. That...

    new member, brandx here

    My first job ever was in a Polish delicatessen in NJ when I was 16. I'm amazed I can remenber that far back! They smoked their own hams, kielbasa, and several other dilicasies. For the week prior to Easter they sold an average of 2000 lbs. of kielbasa alone. Thats alot of hickory! That was my...
