making deer jerky do you have to have tenderquick
Because of drying the meat in the danger zone of 40-140*, you do need to use a cure to prevent bacteria growth. Tenderquick serves that purpose, but you could use Instacure#1 instead. If making up your own recipe from scratch, tenderquick is readily available next to the table salt in your...- que-ball

GFS Pork butt quality?
I think you've already given yourself the best advice anyone else here could give you, with no first-hand experience with the supplier. That is, buy a few butts from them now to experiment on. Their description sounds good, if it's accurate. 1/8" on the fat cap seems like a close trim. Visible... -

Are my casings ROTTEN?????
The raw sheep casings definitely have a funk all their own, but they are fine to use once you rinse them inside and out. The odor you smell now won't be in the cooked sausage. -
What are you doing at this very moment...besides hanging out on the SMF?
Stopped at the bar after work for a quick bump, actually left after the one bump, now I'm just unwinding at home while I decide what to have for supper.- que-ball

snack stick question
Gene, the 24hrs can come after mixing but before stuffing, or after stuffing but before smoking. Do not do both, though. Snack sticks will stuff easier if you stuff right after mixing the seasonings, before the cure starts to bind things up. Fewer blowouts that way. I grind first with my coarse... -
Is there a solution for too much cure?
Yeah, toss it. If you had realized your error sooner I'd have said "throw more meat at it". The cure doesn't need to physically touch each piece of meat from the start. Mix it as best you can, and it will penetrate through the meat as the process takes place.- que-ball

I'm having a custom (of my dreams) grill built
My only suggestion would be to look at the size and spacing of holes in a propane grill burner and try that.- que-ball

smoker help.
We need to know the kind of smoker you have before we can help you. There should be a manual that came with the smoker too, that should help. BTW--Nice wife, to buy you a smoker! Does she have a sister? -
Are coat hangers safe for meat hooks?
I wouldn't do it personally, myself. The cheap metal coathangers do have a paint coating on them. You can buy metal skewers too cheaply to take that risk.- que-ball

40# snack sticks and 10# Summer Sausage(Pics)
NWDave--I can answer your question. The plastic tray in some of the pics is from an Excalibur dehydrator. I have the same dehydrator.
