    Price on pork bellies?

    I pay $2.59 a pound at the local Asian supermarkets here in Boston. I bought an 11lb piece about a month ago and I got it hanging in the basement set up as Pancetta.

    Crack me a Molson eh; I making Canadian bacon with Q-view.

    I just pulled a piece of loin out of my fridge that I plan on cold smoking later today. Its not a maple Canadian bacon, its a Polish cold smoked loin. Very similar to Canadian bacon. Spray-pumped loins require shorter curing times. My method for curing was used on a 4 lb piece of meat and is...

    MES - Sausage Question

    I ran into the same problem the first time I smoked some kielbasa. The next 2 times I cold smoked the kielbasa and they were smoked on both sides. I got one of the cold smoke generators from Porky Pa's. Works great with both the sausage and cheese I've smoked, but a bit of a pain in the *** to...

    New guy from Boston

    bbqfans, Where I live is right on the coast, my house is 1 block from the ocean and 1/2 mile from the fish piers, and I hate to burst your bubble, but there is no such thing as buying off the boats, or cheap, inexpensive, whatever you want to call it, here in Boston! I get envious when I see...

    New guy from Boston

    This part of the country (South Boston) isn't really known for it's smoking expertise, so maybe that's why I wanted to get started smoking. I think there might be 1 decent bbq joint in most of eastern Massachusetts! The kids got me started a couple of years ago when they bought me a Kamodo...

    Boston area MES

    I bought a second one, at that price I couldn't resist. One of mine I drilled a hole in the side for Porky Pa's cold smoke generator. That device works like a charm, also. I cold smoked a pork loin and some kielbasa. I smoked them for about 30 hours.

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

    Got my Big Kahuna yesterday (thanks Fiddler). Very fast shipping! I drilled the hole in the side of my 40" Masterbuilt and put on a couple of blocks of cheese. 45 minutes later I had the fire department searching the neighborhood, because of someone complaining of a strong smoke smell. I live in...

    Use pellets in Masterbuilt?

    They worked fine for me. I went back to chips because they are cheaper. My leftover pellets will be used in my ordered Big Kahuna cold smoke unit. Can't wait to smoke some cheese and cold smoke some of my kielbasa.

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

    How is the Smoke Daddy held in place once you drill the hole? Is there a long enough shaft to securely hold it in place? Thanks

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

    I'm unfamiliar with the cold smoke generators, but have a 40" MES and need something to cold smoke. This sounds like it will do the trick. To install it, would you have to drill a hole in the MES, or just put the generator inside the MES cabinet? Thanks

    I just bought my second 40" MES from Sam's for $218 at my local Sam's in Plymouth, Ma I notice Sam's EBay division has one for $369 on EBay now. I got my first one on FleaBay for a little over $100. It had a little cabinet damage, but works great.

    MES rib question

    I've been using my 40" MES all summer and really enjoy it. I'm used to cooking my baby backs on my ceramic cooker at 225 degrees for about 4-5 hours. When I cook the babies on my MES, at the same temperature, they cook very fast compared to the ceramic. It only takes about 2 1/2 hours for the 3...
