    some venison sticks today

    They do look good. I like to use sheep casings but they are a pain in the butt. I too will have to try calogen again. It has been years points

    issues with new fridge conversion

    I built mine and had no issue with it what so ever. I used high temp caulk from the hardware.. No stinking at all. My build is on this forum in electric smokers called "the start of a fridge conversion" I don't know how to link it here. Let us know if it goes away. Good luck, Ron fridge conversion

    2 Fatties & ABT's

    I really like the idea of the diagonal bacon. Also like the way you cut the japs lengthwise.

    Fire Grilled Carne Asada & Roasted Poblano Quesadillas

    That looks great!! I found an oval Kingsford charcoal grill like your on the street for garbage. It looks like new and it has been the best charcoal grill I have ever had. I use it almost exclusively and I have very large stainless grill from Sam's club.

    good door seal for fridge conversion?

    I have used the seal that was on the fridge of mine. I have had the temps at 260 for several hours when doing 35 chickens for a party. No problems at all. Also my seal has a magnet built in so it keeps the door shut. Someone will be along and give a link for high temp gaskets. I can't seem...

    Sausage on the smoke now..

    We made 10 lbs of the snack stick a month or so ago and I swear the next time I do it I'll make 50 lbs. It was the best snack sticks I have ever tasted. My friends went nuts. I was out in less than a week. I'm sure you'll like yours.

    Sage

    Rubbed sage is what I do. We make at least for 300 lbs. a year for myself, my folks, my brother and sister and their kids. It is also never enough. Every time we make it, when it is time again everyone is out. I think sage is what makes breakfast sausage. Good luck, Ron

    1st Bacon Smoke w/Qview

    Your bacon looks awesome. I would like someone to answer that knows why when all of us follow the directions on curing bacon it comes out salty. Did yours? I did mine for 6 days and I had also soaked in fresh cold water for one hour before smoking and it was still a little salty for my...

    Lord Stanley!

    I have played the game since 5 and am 50 and still play on a seniors league. Have season tickets as well. I was bummed out big time. We just couldn't catch a break against Fleury. I was also very bummed out when all of the fans booed the presentation of the trophy to the Pens. This is a very...

    Help please!

    Even though the jerky can be a little moist, like I said in my earlier post if you cut it with the grain it will still pull your dentures out when you eat it and it chews for a long time. Ron
