    Tried making jerky and failed

    okay let's put this thing to rest :-) Smoked jerky does not need added cure - why ? Because the 'smoke ring' is actually a layer of meat CURED by the nitrous oxide in the smoke. Soooooooo Any meat as thin as jerk is going to have a smoke ring all the way through and hence be cured...

    Ever wonder if making sausage is cheaper than buying it? I have the answer

    yep it's definitely cheaper over here. Plus You Cannot buy the sausages I make. No added water, no rusk no added fat, no crappy seasoning mixes. I just won't eat shop bought any more - period.

    is it ok to cook at 205?

    yep 205 no problem at all. I've run all my smokes at or below 200. And aprt from ribs - which were my only failure to date - everything cooks just fine and in fact if you read the smoking books - particularly rytek kutas bible - he recommends never smoking much above 160 anyway :-)

    Custom cold smoker + Bacon = YAY!

    whats the smoke generator in the smoker ? Looks like a good option and easy to do. What grade/thickness plywood are the sides made from ? I really have to find a cheaper way of smoking stuff. The bradley works a treat but costs £1 ($1.30) an hour to run in wood pucks. Wood I can get, I...
