    Cold smoking bacon

    In fairness to  him, though he WAS incredibly rude, his handle is inigomontoya, who is a character from the movie "The Princess Bride".

    smoking bacon... COLD OR HOT SMOKE?

    OK, I am going to be curing my first pork belly tomorrow. In 7 days, I plan to smoke it with apple pellets in my AMAZEN pellet smoker in my mailbox modification with my MES 40. My question, which seems to have multiple answers is, do I completely cold smoke it? And for how long? Or smoke with...

    I love the bags from Vacum Sealers Unlimited!!! Pics included!!

    I've ordered from Vacuum Sealers Unlimited before. Was very happy with the bags. Was just about to order some bags yesterday since it was a fair price in comparison to others and came with a 10% discount. Then I got to the shipping charges. $16 for 4 rolls. So, I ordered bags from Amazon and...

    How long will cheese last vaccum sealed in Refrigerator?

    Ohhhh, OK. Thank you. I think I've seen a vacuum sealer that does two seals automatically. Great tip, thanks again.

    How long will cheese last vaccum sealed in Refrigerator?

    What do you mean you "double seal both ends of everything you vacuum pack"? Thanks in advance.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I don't remember if I've responded on this post or not and I'm not going to read through 100+ pages to find out, but since it was part of the "update" email I just got, figured I would put it out there.  Mine is a combination of all the state's I've lived in, in the order I have lived in them.

    Thinking of building a smoker from the ground up.

    Currently, I have an MES 40 that I added a mailbox modification to use my AMNPS with.  Just couldn't keep that thing lit inside the smoker for some reason. Anyway, I really hate that the temperatures inside the smoker are so different, not only on the same shelf from left to right when only...

    Costco belly 07/05/15

    Add San Dimas, Ca to the list. Just saw it there yesterday. I believe it was $2.29 per pound.

    MES Not producing smoke

    What's this about the Foodsaver?  My wife and I have had one for several years that does a bang up job on our smoked cheese, pulled pork, pretty much everything we use it for.  Was there a certain model or that brand overall that we should have avoided?

    How long does smoke need to be present??

    Thanks Darren.  Appreciate the feedback. :)

    How long does smoke need to be present??

    I am currently smoking two bone-in Boston butts using my MES 40 and Amazen pellet smoker in a mailbox mod on the outside of my smoker. Obviously, I want the smoke flavor when it's time to eat.  I also want it to be as juicy as it is tender when it hits 200 IT, so I am contemplating just having...

    Bone-in vs boneless pork butt question

    My, how times have changed.  Just picked up two boneless butts at Costco last night.  $1.75/lb.

    smoked potatoes worth it?

    OK, what is in the foil next to the ham?  Where do you get a ham that isn't smoked already?  And how do you smoke eggs? (Are they hard boiled and peeled first, temperature, time, etc?) And are they good? :)

    Traffic Signal Cabinet Build

    Four large pork butts at 250 deg for only 4 hours?  Is that a typo?  Some of my butts have taken as long as 24 hours, usually around 15 hours at 235 or so to get to 200 degrees IT.  I can't imagine a 15 degree smoking temp difference making that much difference in time.  Unless you weren't going...

    Protecting the probes...

    Kurt, Thank you so much.  I just got home from lunch, the package was waiting for me, and now I will be making a trip to pick that up in the next day or two.  Unless someone else has any other suggestions.  Thanks again.

    Protecting the probes...

    I will have a new Maverick 733 delivered today, and want to know the best way to protect the probes.  My 732's stopped working, so I upgraded the unit, too.  But, I want them to last much longer this time around.  $20 for a new probe is a lot of meat that can be smoked, no? ;) Thanks for any...

    Not SO Mini Smokehouse Build w/Pics

    What an awesome looking smokehouse!! Well done. I have a few questions. 1: Do you ever smoke on more than one shelf at a time, and if you do, is there much of a temperature difference between shelves? 2: Can you set your temperature at 230 degrees or so, maybe less? 3: Can you cold smoke...

    Thermometers - Maverick 732 vs 733

    I have the 732, and it has served me well. After just finding out about and watching a review video on the 733, plus what I have read here, I plan on placing my order on Amazon and it should be here Monday. Because of the high cost of just about everything I smoke, I do take advantage of the...

    Packer or Flat Brisket, and why, etc etc etc....

    Thanks so much for this, and the message, I appreciate it. Didn't understand this sentence, though. "I know this old guy who made a good living for many moons peddling offsetted sliced  clods for sandwiches. Less waste but over all higher cost." Thanks again.  Have a great week.

    Packer or Flat Brisket, and why, etc etc etc....

    Thank you so much Danny.  A lot of what you posted here looks pretty familiar, so I think I may have read it somewhere else.  Seems like smoking pretty much anything is like photographers debating on which camera to buy, Nikon or Canon, and whether to shoot in RAW or JPEG.  There are lots of...
