    Can you define the term?

    For the layman - a newbie when it comes to sausage. Can you define the term "Remove from smokehouse and cool with cold water until internal temp is 110F Allow to bloom till desired color is reached.  What exactly is "bloom", and how is this accomplished?  No such thing as a dumb question -...

    New smoker from Arizona

    New smoker from Phoenix, Arizona - though I've been grilling on charcoal and gas grills for many years - no talent, just throwing a steak or burger on the grill and burining it. <G> Recently purchased a Weber Performer Platinum 22-inch charcoal grill and have done some pulled pork and ribs...
