    Jerky question

    I haven't used a jerky gun a long time but back when I did I remember mixing all ingredients in a large bowl filling the gun then I would give my trays a VERY LIGHT coating of non stick and load em' up. I do rotate the trays every so often to get an even doneness but I have never used the oven...

    not sure where to post

    Hi all. I'm not sure where this falls under. I have been kicking around the idea of trying my hand at lunch meat. Salami , bologna , pepperoni . I see that LEM sells trail bologna kits and salami kits and I can get 4" x 20" non-edible casings. My problem is what type of meat or meat...

    slicer blades

    Got a question about the blade on my Cabelas 10 " slicer. I usually put a slight freeze on my jerky meat before slicing it for the marinade soak. I have a small 7 " cheapo slicer with a serrated blade that sliced through semi - frozen meat like butter but I have begun to do larger hunks of meat...

    First try at bacon

    Ok last week I asked about bacon with no sugar. Now I'm ready to move on to help with where to start.

    anyone have some tips for smoking pork belly?

    You can do pretty much anything you want with it . you can dry rub , marinate the outside ( kinda like brining ) or even do an injection marinade. As far as smoking I would stay at around 165-180 degrees so you don't start rendering the fat , it will just start melting off. As for IT I would...

    Getting started with sausage

    I wish I had the motor and foot switch . These would great for a single person operation . I usually have my future son -in -law come over and help me . I have done snack sticks and ring bologna by myself but it can be difficult . Not sure if the LEM model has a motor option , but I would make...

    Getting started with sausage

    I have used the stuffer for sausage , ring bologna , and sticks and it works perfect only thing is there is a good amount of meat left in the bottom and in the tube especially in the small snack stick tube . I have been scooping it out and filling my jerky blaster to use up the rest of the...

    Jeff's Rub question

    Hey bauchjw, I think it is completely up to you. I have Jeff's book Smoking Meat and just did a quick read for you on rubs. He says in his opinion he could not detect any big difference in putting the rub on hours before smoking or right before smoking. I usually put mine on the night before...

    SLICER BLADES

    Hey guys and gals, I know there isn't as much talk about slicers as there is about other tools in our arsenals , but does anyone know if I can buy a serrated blade for my Cabelas 10" slicer ?
