Why would my smoked salmon taste like that?
like richtee said, what kind of salt? Iodonized could give an off taste, also if you used rock salt, that could contain impurities that could impact taste. I suppose it's also possible that you have a bad piece of salmon to start with. -
Salsa throwdown
Ok, so at work a few people have decided it's time to have a salsa throwdown and crown the king or queen of salsa, so I'm looking for a good recipe and hope some of you could help out. Maybe something not super hot, but with a little kick. Some smoky flavor maybe. I've never made salsa before...- pitrow

Kitchen Aid Meat Grinder?
I tried my kitchen aid grinder for the first time last night. Had about 3 pound sirloin tip roast that was partially frozen. I cut it up in chunks and ground it through the large screen, then ran it again through the smaller screen. It seemed to work good, but at the very end of the second run... -

Temps for jerky?
Well i'm happy to say the jerky was/is a success. I ended up doing it at 170 degrees in the oven with the door held about an inch open. It was in there for a total of about 2 and half hours and I think it could have gone just a tad longer, maybe 5 minutes or so. I used the backwoods orignal...- pitrow

Temps for jerky?
Hmm... interesting Mark, I didn't realize that the higher fat content would take longer, but now that you mention it it makes sense. Thanks for the tip! Well, since I don't own a dehydrator, my jerky racks won't fit in the MES and my oven only goes down 170 I guess I'll be trying it at 170...- pitrow

Temps for jerky?
yeah, that's the only thing that I can think of is the higher temp helps render the fat out of the ground. The beef I've got defrosting i'm not sure what the exact fat content is, it's from a local butcher and is usually pretty darn lean so I'm not too worried about it. Besides, like you say, my...- pitrow

Temps for jerky?
I recently bought a jerky cannon from LEM to try some ground beef jerky. I'm reading the instructions and it says to do it 200 degrees in the oven. Is this right? Seems awfully high to me, most jerky I've done is around the 150 range. But that was all cut strips, not ground. 200 just seems like...- pitrow

smoker attacked!!
yeah, i agree with you on nasty. When I was about 10 or 12 my dad found a mom and babies had taken up residence in a lumber pile in our shop. He emptied the clip of his .22 pistol (I forget if it's 9 or 12 rounds) into the mom from about 4 feet, including several head shots and the thing was...- pitrow

Somebody be stealin my Wood!
Just make sure you put up signs saying you're on film. I have a problem with my fence getting tagged (graffiti) and last time I was out repainting it a city worker stopped by and we got to chatting about solutions. He said his son had the same problem and put up a camera and got a really good...- pitrow

bumble bees
I've found that gasoline works wonders on yellow jackets. Just a little bit down or even near their hole and they'll pack up and move on. I did it just last fall to a big nest they had made in my rail-road tie retaining wall. I couldn't get it right in the nest, but got some on the ties where...- pitrow

Bye Folks!
That's so awesome! lol. I'm going to have to try that next time I go camping. I love camping too, but lately I haven't had much time for it. I guess it's time to rearrange the schedule, pull out the tent and the fishing poles and head for the backwoods!- pitrow

Weisswurst - pic may not be suitable for all ages
I'm probably not the most qualified to answer this as I've yet to even try sausage (though that day is coming) but from just looking at the pictures it seems like the mix might have been too dry? Or maybe you hit the nail on the head with it getting too hot while mixing? Well, I'm sure someone...
