    Polish meat

    My parents are Polish and I remember them calling a sausage that is pronounced like Vushta, I do not know the Polish or English spelling , but that is what it sounded like. Does anyone have any info on this meat ? I would like to find out more about it and maybe make some !

    peppreoni

    Made a 5# batch of Venison/beef/pork pepperoni with LEM Backwoods seasonings, turned out very good, everybody liked it. To me it could have more of the pepperoni taste. What seasonings could I add to give it more of that pepperoni taste ?

    Just joined SMF

    My name is Ira, from the Thumb of Michigan. I've just started smoking meat about two years ago, not the best way, because I just used my double burner gas grill with a cast iron skillet over one burner with wood and charcoal. But it worked and must say I did get some good comments from friends...
