    Programmable electric smoker

    I'm replying to you, but it is directed to everyone that replied. Starting with a big thank you. The Masterbuilt retrofitted with a programmable PID seems like an attractive option. I don't have the necessary skills to do this but my son-in-law does if given explicit directions. I don't want...

    Programmable electric smoker

    My daughter and I just did our first kielbasa and we made the traditional Easter kielbasa called kielbasa biala, or white kielbasa, which is a fresh sausage so no smoking involved. I was more of a blind guide and she did all the work. And she loved it. So she went on Eric's Two Guys and a...

    Fat percent estimating and adding fat

    This turned out to be very good advice. I ended up with 73% lean and 27% fat. So I didn't need to add additional fat. We cooked the sausage patties in the oven, because of the quantity, and there wasn't much fat or grease in the baking pan but the patties were nice and juicy. So, my thanks...

    I appreciate the advice. A couple of my limiting factors are equipment and space. It will be a while before I get/make a drying chamber, So I am planning on making some whole muscles using the DrySteak wraps as described by Eric at Two Guys & a Cooler. I bought an STX 4000 grinder that...

    Thanks. I'm in AZ now but my wife and I retired to CO and lived 5 years in Greeley and one year in Denver before moving here a year ago. I liked CO, especially Greeley, but we had to follow the sole grandkid, LOL.

    I picked this screen name because I am a complete newby when it comes to smoking, and an almost complete newby when it comes to sausages and salumi, which are my main interest. I hope to learn a lot here. I won't have much to offer beyond naive newby questions, so be gentle.
