    HELP: How many pounds of chicken?

    I probably wasn't clear enough, I plan to do whole beer can chickens, pull and toss with BBQ sauce. I do love thighs the best though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HELP: How many pounds of chicken?

    If I'm going to  serve pulled chicken sandwiches on buns for 30 adults and 24 kids how many pounds of raw chicken do you think I'll need to smoke?  How much is lost in the cooking process and boning?  If I cooked a 8 lb bird, how much smoked pulled meat would that equate to?  Thanks

    HELP with breakfast link casings

    I have heard to use sheep casing for breakfast links, but what I'm wondering is if it's possible to use the regular hog casings and just the smaller tube to fill it?  Does the whole hog casing have to be filled tight?  If I used the smaller tube diameter will the hog casing be to baggy?  What...

    Smoke Vault 24 for sausage making

    thanks for the advice, and actually I don't even know what I want.  There are too many options, and too many people to say good and bad things about the same smokers for me to make a confident purchase.  I'll heed your warning about the propane since that was something that had me concerned...

    Smoke Vault 24 for sausage making

    Would this be a good choice for a new smoker to be used primarily for smoking sausages?  I see where the lowest setting is 160 degrees....I'd like to make 20-25 lb batches, what smoker would be recommended for me to upgrade from my old rusted char griller that I fight with to hold any temperature?

    Smoke Vault Users

    I'm looking at replacing my old chargriller firebox smoker for something that will hold the temp and not over smoke my food.  I've read all the reviews about the smoke vault so that one seems like a winner.  My question is for those who use it, how many pounds of sausage do you think it would...

    How much Red Pepper?

    It is the recipe that 'tropics' posted for chicken sausage. I've made it 4 times and it's perfect. I just added 3/4 tsp pepper flakes and 4 tsp paprika per lb. I also do 70:30 skin on chicken thighs:venison and I go a little heavy on the fennel and carroway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Crazy casing

    I went to my local grocer where I always buy sausage casings usually only two at a time every couple of months because I don't really make that many. Today the manager was apparently working behind the meat counter because he rang up my casings at $100 per pound so for two casings it was like...

    How much Red Pepper?

    3/4 tsp flakes per lb was perfect for me and my 4 yr old daughter. The paprika was nice too.

    How much Red Pepper?

     I realize spice is subjective, but that aside I'm having a cookout saturday and I'm making some mild italian sausage and want to make some Hot Italtian too.  I've seen plenty of recipes but they vary so much so I'm not sure.  I just don't know how to correlate spice level with volume of...
