    Cured Smoked Wild Turkey Breast With Photos

    Once you get a slicer, you will wonder how you ever got along without it. I use it primarily for whole muscle jerky, which really speeds up the preparation time, and the size of the batches you can do. It's nice to be able to slice paper-thin pastrami, turkey, and ham. I found this Hobart...

    Cured Smoked Wild Turkey Breast With Photos

    Using TQ in a liquid brine is quite a bit different than using it dry.  In a brine, only a fraction of the TQ actually makes it into the meat to cure it. The advantages of cover brine curing are that you can inject the brine into a thicker cut of meat and shorten up the curing time, add...

    Questions on building a smoke generator

    I have experimented with several smoke generator designs over the years. The only one that I am really satisfied is one I build that is loosely based on a design used in many pellet stoves and grills to auger chips or pellets from an outside hopper into the smoker. It has a metal box on the...
