    Sauerkraut with SQWIB"S help

    commonly used termonolgy around here is "once you make your own sausage you will never like store bought" This is even MORE the case when talking kraut. Every fall when cabbage goes on sale I buy 50 pounds, shred it, adding salt as I goes, usually after every 4-5 pounds about 2 tablespoons...

    spare ribs SOW cut

    Sow ribs are Exactly what I would buy every time if given the chance. There is a restaurant in my hometown who has won numerous awards for their Ribs, and they use exclusively Sow Ribs, way more meat than a Gilt or Barrow. Gilt equals a female pig who has never had a Litter. Barrow is a male who...

    First try at Sticks

    were you using natural sheep casings or collagen? if they were natural then you should always hang them at room temp for quite a few hours so the casing dry off or they wont take smoke very good

    What kind of salt?

    When you guys mix up a batch of sausage, and use something other than a package mix, do you use iodized table salt, or do you use canning salt? I need to do about 75 pounds of deer/pork smoke sausage tomorrow night and the thought just crossed my mind if I have enough salt or could I use canning...

    PicNik Roasts?

    I have a 4x4x6 foot smoke house, and I use an Amazen smoker for smoke generation, its 35 degrees outside as i type this, I'm sure there is no danger of temp getting too high, but I will keep an eye on it

    60lbs of Venison turned into tastey greatness!

    I've had days like this myself, your grand master plan gets side tracked and ends up being one thing after another biting you in the ass, I have to admit I LOL when I read about the blowouts, I tried sheep casings with a not quite small enough tube and my god, talk about a circus, wife wouldnt...

    PicNik Roasts?

    I just prepped them and am cold smoking them for about ten hours and then will finish in the oven. They did have a thick layer of lard that I mostly trimmed from the bottom before putting the smoke to them, I figure without weighing it probably 2 pounds max off three roats, so I didnt lose much...

    Here is my plan, will it work?

    ok so the whole temp thing has me a bit scared. Being that I cant devote a whole day smoking to perfection I've decided to "cold smoke" the roasts, ( this is Minnesota) so getting in the dander zone shouldnt occur. After 4 or 5 hours of cold smoke then I will cook them in an electric roaster for...

    So after trying and almost losing my religion with natural sheep casings the last time, I picked up some collegen casings and did 20 pounds of pepper sticks with cheese. What an improvment over the natural casings! BUT having an older Enterprise stuffer cranking this mixture through even a 1/2...
