    Raise your hand if you rotisserie meats

    I like to cook a small turkey usually 10-12lbs on the grill rotisserie. Much better than oven roasted IMHO.

    Boneless pork loin ham

    Well, after eight hours of apple wood smoke and an overnight rest in the fridge, it was time to slice. Sliced it paper thin. Turned out delicious. I'll keep some out and vac pack and freeze the rest. The first one sliced.

    Boneless pork loin ham

    Had a couple pieces of boneless pork loin I put in some of Pop's brine a couple weeks ago and it was time for them to hit the smoker. The only changes I made to the brine was to add a half cup of maple syrup and then inject them. After injecting, I added a teaspoon of ground cloves to the brine...

    Disappointment . . .

    At least you were able to salvage them and still had some good eats. Kudos for that.

    St Louis style question

    Every time I have foiled spares they come out too mushy. I prefer the texture of a little chew to my ribs.

    Lang 36 patio/YoderCheyenne

    I was looking at a Lang 36", but just can't seem to justify paying over half the cost of the smoker in just shipping. Tough sell for me.

    Newb question about curing.

    Generally speaking, yes. Cured products are usually smoked at a lower temperature than uncured products for a longer period of time. Raw products such as pork butt, uncured sausage, etc. are smoked at higher temps, usually above 200 degrees while cured products are started at and smoked at much...

    Newb question about curing.

    It depends on the temp you smoke at, what you're smoking, and how long it takes the product to achieve a safe IT.

    Your thoughts on a meat slicer

    FWIW, I bought an SL312 12" Avantco slicer and am happy with it. It's not the quality of a high end brand like a Berkel or Hobart, but does everything I need it to do. Like any commercial slicer, the biggest issue is the weight. Mine is 60+ lbs. I keep it on a heavy duty cart and roll it out of...
