    No Sven, that's the stock assembly of the smoker. I got it from The Sausage Maker as well.

    Belly and Loin Bacon

    I didn't track the belly, as I wasn't taking it higher than 125°... The loin finished at 145°

    Belly and Loin Bacon

    Good afternoon all! Last weekend I started to cure a 12 pound pork belly and a 9 pound pork loin. For the belly I used "The Sausage Maker" brown sugar cure. I made a brown sugar wet cure from scratch for the loin. Fast forward to last Friday... I pulled them from the brine and soaked them in...

    Fibrous Casing Capacity - Question

    Good afternoon all! I got a pack of 2-1/2" x 14" fibrous casings from PS Seasonings... They aren't clear on the capacity. Both the 14" and 20" say "about 2 pounds". Do any of you have any knowledge as to the capacity of the 14"? Thanks in advance! Steve

    Smoke generator

    I looked at their smoke pistol. I was deterred by the wood "cartridges", and the 4 hour smoke time.

    Smoke generator

    Merry Christmas all! As a 50th birthday gift my wife bought me the Sausage Maker's red (black!) roof smoker. I'm still waiting for delivery, but I'm already planning my smokes. I was thinking about a cold smoke generator, instead of using the dish that comes with it. Do any of you have a...

    Owen's BBQ Ground Formed Bacon

    Wow, I'm just seeing this thread for the first time too. I've been on a SPAM kick, and this is right along those lines. I'm going to try this, as the slices sound great in sandwiches. 👍🏻
