    Ready for the Weekend! Anyone Smoking?

    I'm making a smoked meatloaf on Saturday, and the Mrs. said she wants me to smoke up some more cheese before it gets too warm ,   so I'll probably do that on Sunday.   I've got 8lbs of Butt rubbed-n-wrapped for buckboard bacon, and half a loin ('bout 4lbs) for Canadian bacon, but they won't be...

    Well, Light the Coals and Cut the Cheese!

    I really tried to wait the full two weeks before cutting the cheese, honest and for true!   But I had an out-of-town guest at the house last night and needed something to serve while we waited for my wife to get home from work before we went out to dinner. So, I cut open the vacuum bags and...

    Ground chuck jerky possible? and any jerky gun tips?

    I'm with Bob on the leaner-the-better.  Made tons of ground beef jerky (my family prefers it) and try to never use less than 90/10.   Also, if it's thin try letting it set in the fridge overnight after adding your cure and seasoning.  Juts wrap it tightly in some plastic wrap.  I have the Lem...

    Heat chart for my first smoke

    Really?  Wow! I'm impressed. Don't know that I'd ever want to get into that much detail regarding my cooking -  but I could see where you could definitely benefit from such a detailed analysis if you were having difficulty, or were maybe doing this to provide the USDA (or their French...

    I'm new

    Nice to have you here.  I gotta admit that I had to use Google Maps to see where Baker, Florida was. Great to hear that your first couple of tries with your smoker were successes.  It just means lots more to come. Plenty of knowledgeable people here to help you get the info you need... and...

    Buckboard bacon - How much cure to use if it has 0.8 percent nitrite?

    Not to sound rude, but there's a phone number right on the package.  It may just be as simple as a phone call to them.

    How to minimize bark on a boston butt?

    What Craig said.  Only try it with a little dark beer instead of apple juice.  NewCastle Brown ale works great.

    Homegrown sawdust for AMNS?

    Thanks everyone - and especially Todd - for your answers.  I've still got plenty of dust from my recent AMNS purchase, so it may be a while before I actually need any. Todd - Thanks for your honesty and forthrightness.  Not too many business owners would do that and it says a lot about you...

    Well, Light the Coals and Cut the Cheese!

    I used the hickory that came with the AMNS.  Gotta admit that I sliced off a tiny sliver of each one to try before vacuum sealing.  .  The blue was pretty awesome, but my favorite as  far as I could tell was the habanero cheddar.  It tasted like it added chipotle to the cheese and had a whole...
