    Help me get more color and flavor on my brisket

    Does a combination of Mesquite and Cherry work for brisket and beef back ribs?

    Temps for lamb bacon?

    so if we can assume that lamb is the same as pork we should take it to about 140F, that sounds like a hot smoke? It seems like most people cold smoke bacon? So hot smoke or cold smoke? what temp should I try to get the smoker to for a cold smoked bacon? what temp should I get the meat to for...

    Garlic Beef Susage

    Sounds good except for the 1 cup non-fat-dry milk. Another part of kosher in not mixing dairy and meat. Can this be left out or substituted? Also what is curring salt and where can I get it?

    Kosher Sausage Fabrication

    So I can roll tightly in plastic wrap and boil in the plastic wrap. This will set the sausage after which it can then be removed and smoked. As for the specifics of kosher it is very complex please see here Kosher Explained
