    Memorial Day Weekend Smoke......Rabbit!.......Qview!

    I am sure that you can cook them whole.  like xjcamaro I hunt them and we get as many as 20 in a good day of hunting.  so when its time to put them away in the freezer I cut off the back legs, the back straps and the front legs and there isnt really much left after that.  I didn't used to take...

    Electric pellet smokers (like traeger) vs traditionial smokers

    Had a bad weekend... My homebuilt big daddy smoker burned up! Could have caught the house on fire. So I am seriously considering a traeger for safety and ease of use. I noticed however that not too many folk here seem to use them and I am wondering why? Is it mostly a cost issue? A simple...

    Memorial Day Weekend Smoke......Rabbit!.......Qview!

    xjcamaro, have you ever tried making any jerky out of it?  I have made several batches now with a couple different spice packages and they all turned out great.  so far the family favorite is when I grind it up and mix it with some ground beef and use the jerky gun to make "slim jim" size...

    vacuum sealer for seasoning smoked cheese?

    then i would definaltly guess that your "crumbly" issue is caused by freezing.  anytime I have "accidently" let cheese freeze it has always ended up being "crumbly".

    vacuum sealer for seasoning smoked cheese?

    Ive only seen cheese get "crumbly" if its dry or has been frozen.  my guess is that maybe you smoked it too hot and cooked a little too much oil out of it.  just my guess! dalton

    vacuum sealer for seasoning smoked cheese?

    my first try at cheese the cheese was pretty bitter and strong right after smoking.  let it sit a few days and it was MUCH better.  it got better the longer it sat.  it has been 5 weeks and I just had some of the last package today.  when I think back to how bitter it was to start I am pretty...

    Curing

    it that is wrong I apoligize but as I said in my quote I took that from the above post.  so far my only hands on experience is with TQ.  I am quite sure that it is 1/2 tablespoon per pound of ground meat.  if I am wrong in that please let me know!! dalton

    Curing

    in my limited  understanding of the subject I would agree with AK1 in that you can use tenderquick instead of cure #1 but you need to use it in the correct cure to meat ratio for the cure you are using.  now I do believe that with morton tenderquick that the cureing time could be longer because...
