Smoked Turkey Burgers?
I picked up 6lbs of Jenny-O 80/20 because it was use/freeze-by day and they were $1 each. I planned at the time to just use them as filler for soups and rice dishes... Since then I joined this forum and I'm wondering, would they be good formed into hearty, well-spiced patties and smoked at 225...- SmokinGumby

Price quoted is $1.49/lb plus about $50 in smoking/curing/stuffing fees. Seems like a pretty good price for a place that only deals in local animals.- SmokinGumby

Whole Hog Cut Options
For the hams I got 1 cured and smoked, center sliced with the ends as roasts. The other ham I had cut in half but left green. I've never done a fresh ham, so I will be excited to do that. The butts I left green and whole for smoking into pulled pork, and I gave 1 picnic shoulder over to...- SmokinGumby

How is the meat supply in your area?
Local Walmart is slim pickings on meat pretty much all the time now, but it hasn't filtered to the independents and smaller grocers yet. Sure seems like it will. Many local processors are mostly not taking orders on sides, halves, and wholes, as they are booked more than 2 months and can't...- SmokinGumby

Whole Hog Cut Options
I think here in Ohio a western rib is a boneless shoulder cut. Not 100% sure, I've seen a few different definitions online. Either way, I want my shoulders intact for smoking. The reason I finally made the jump to buying a whole hog is that grocery store meat selection is getting spotty...- SmokinGumby

Whole Hog Cut Options
I spoke with my butcher today and I think I've got it all straightened out. Glad I called, they had me down for Western ribs for some reason, and I don't think that's what I want. I asked for boneless chops and "baby" back ribs. I know some folks are diehards for bone-in, but I don't know, I...- SmokinGumby

I actually found that in my Google searches before I ordered! They did provide a cut sheet, and it was pretty similar to that one. It still leaves quite a few questions, but I'm going to talk to them now that I at least know what questions to ask. Thanks!- SmokinGumby

What's the deal with Pecan wood?
I don't have much experience smoking with pecan or hickory, but I do think it's worth mentioning that Pecan IS a Hickory. Same genus, different species. In woodworking circles, there isn't generally a distinction made between the two, so I don't know if there's likely much difference.- SmokinGumby

Whole Hog Cut Options
I've ordered a whole hog from a local butcher, and I've done some research, but I have a few questions/clarifications... I don't have any specific problems with bone-in chops, but I'm concerned that I won't get back ribs if I don't specify boneless rib chops, is this correct? My thought process...- SmokinGumby
