It’s been a busy day. I got the smoker going and got a pork sirloin, three pork loin fillets, and a turkey going. After 5 hours of cooking, my wife said “you forgot the meatloaf.” We hurriedly put a meatloaf together, and put it on the smoker. The pork and the turkey came off, and the...
I live in Northern California and I guess I have it better off than most people do. All I have gotten is 9+ inches of rain since January 1st. Still it messes up my being able to smoke anything.
Thanks for the input. I didn't know it takes 14 days to cure pork bellies. My plan was to buy them this weekend and read up on how to cure them properly. If it takes 14 days to cure, it takes 14 days. It will probably take me that long to read all the post on how to do it properly. Since...
Cranky Buzzard, thank you for your admonishment on curing pork bellies before smoking them. I plan on curing and smoking them next weekend. However this weekend I plan on smoking some salt, cheese, and some almonds weather permitting.
My AMNPS came in the mail yesterday. This morning I stopped by the California Backyard store by my house and bought some Milt’s original gourmet bbq pellets to use. The flavor that I chose was Apricot Rosemary. I hope I made the right decision since I bought a 20 lb bag on clearance.

I’ve been reading on the SMF site for some time now about cold smoking and have decided to take the plunge. This morning, I ordered a 5” X 8“ AMNPS smoker box to be used in my RF smoker.
The next decision that I need to make is which flavor pellets do I buy? I plan on starting off smoking...
I cooked the sirloins to an IT of 145 and let them cool. I then vacuum sealed them and put them in the freezer to await their turn to be eaten. I like to slice them up and use them in sandwiches.
My cornbread and chili are for tomorrow night’s dinner. The tri-tip came out a perfect medium...
It was 30 degrees out this morning with clear blue skies when I fired up my smoker. What a glories day for smoking some food. Today’s menu consist of 5 pork sirloin roasts, 3 pork loin filets, 5 chicken breasts, and 1 tri-tip roast. Later on, I will put on some chili and some cornbread in a...
Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to buy the FoodSaver 5200. As often as I plan on using it, overheating shouldn't be a problem. I did an online chat with FoodSavers and their recommendation was to buy the 5200.
Thanks SmokinAl for the offer, I live too far away to pick up...
I need some help. I want to buy a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer and know nothing about them. After reading everyone’s comments on the FoodSaver V2244 I thought that this might be the one to buy. I have run into one problem though.
I work at Target and this vacuum sealer is not sold at Target. I...
