    Summer Sausage report

    No binder in this recipe. 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp of #1 cure to 5 lbs. meat. Good and sticky mix. Not as much liquid as my other sausage recipes though. There was a little slack in the casing when I tied it up. I need to pay a little closer attention to that. It was sliced this morning after...

    Daylight Savings time regress

    Antique Austrian clocks here so I can relate!

    Summer Sausage report

    Thanks. After slicing the second log, it looks like the voids were only where the cheese had doubled up in one spot. The cheese chunks were intact through the rest of the log. Temp probes are spot on and I was watching closely. I think you're right on the fat. It was a little more than a...

    Summer Sausage report

    Smoked a small batch yesterday. 60/40 pork/beef. Smoked over hickory. First time trying jalapeno/pepperjack. The pepperjack didn't retain much flavor and the bigger chunks melted a little leaving small voids. Quite a bit of 'juice' leaked out when I probed for temp near the end of the cook...

    Season smoker - Is Ballistol ok?

    I use grapeseed oil on my firebox. Vegetable oil doesn't last as long.

    Sourdough Jalapeno/Cheese

    You inspired me to make a cheddar jalapeno sourdough boule. Got a little toasty on top.

    One of my favorites! Those look great.

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    That's an interesting execution of dual measurements on one probe. I have noticed that the probes that I place close to the meat on the grate are affected by the ambient temp of the meat at the start of the cook. I've also read that some folks let their meat come up to room temp before putting...

    My 1st Sourdough Bread

    If you want the crust just a little bit softer, you can wrap your loaf with a tea towel to cool. I do that when I have to leave a loaf out overnight.

    Should I stop spritzing my butts?

    I spritz butts and pork ribs with 50/50 ACV/apple juice only if I'm not using the water pan.

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    That part about the ambient sensor touching the food sounds odd. I would call their tech support (great folks by the way) and confirm.

    My 1st Sourdough Bread

    Looks great. I wait four hours minimum before I slice. Requires a LOT of self-discipline :)

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    Yep. It ran for about 3 hours at the right temp. I was hoping for more. This offset is not sealed very well so it’s harder to manage the oxygen. Will try again later.

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    Well, that didn’t work as expected. To get enough fuel in there to get up to temp, it made the fire spread too quickly to hope for any extended cook. It only took about an hour for the entire basket to start burning. Now it did stabilize at a working temp but not much different than without the...

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    The 2x1 stack was not enough fuel. Tried 2x2. Still not enough. Temp barely got to 100. Loaded up with more fuel. To see if we can get up to mid 200s.

    Beef Rib Street Tacos

    Creative alright. You created a hole in my stomach that now needs to be filled with TACOS!

    Oh what hole I've fallen down!

    Welcome and thanks for your service.

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    Loaded up the Kingsford briquets 2x1 with some hickory chips. Smoking a couple of butts tomorrow morning. We'll see how she runs.

    Charcoal basket in an offset

    I've read about folks using them on WSMs. I'm already $70 into this experiment with the basket and the baffles. Another $45 will take some of the fun out of it! Besides, I didn't see a model that would fit on my stack.

    Cheap and easy...

    Looks good and I love them smoked over hickory.
