    Boneless Turkey Breast

    Last weekend I smoked a boneless turkey breast. It was smoked in my new Masterbuilt 40 smoker. I brined it overnight, then smoked it for 4.5 hours. My Texas hat goes off to Amazing Pellets, I used Hickory on this turkey and it came out  so much better then I could ever have hoped for. You...

    Smoking bacon temps ?

    Over here in Texas we have had a steady diet of 95-100 degree days. But I did manage to cold smoke some bacon two weekends ago. I am using a Brinkman vertical that looks like a mini fridge. I kept the fire very small and also kept the top door open part ways. Still got excellent smoke and 8...

    First Brisket Qview

    Awsome looking brisket there !!!! Had to chuckle seeing the Big Red, and also noticing you are in Baltimore. I grew up in Baltimore and now live in Texas, and we got plenty of Big Red here. Grandson loves Big Red Floats.

    My 2nd Briskey with Q view!!

     Wonderful looking Brisket. I was under the impression that you are suppose to allow 1.5 hours per pound of brisket to smoke one. With your 9.5 lb brisket should have been about 14 plus hours. Or was that the reason for putting it in the cooler for 6 more hours ??? Still its a fantastic...

    Smoked Beef Knackwurst (with Pix)

    Those are wonderful looking sausages. You have made me hungy to try that recipe out. Couple of questions if you please. Why the Dextrose in the recipe? And I noticed you mentioning that you dried the sausage prior to starting the smoke. I have seen some others do that so I ask, what is the...

    Chorizo Qview

    Nice looking Chorizo, and a good recipe. I use a recipe similar to Chefrobs, only I add some dried cilantro (love that stuff), alittle more Cumin (nice earthy spice) and I use smoked paprika also. Down here in Texas, most gringos measure how good Chorizo is, by the amount of grease that runs...

    Cure- Vacuum sealing?

    I was wondering the same thing in regard to vacuum sealing. From what I have read, there are some folks that drain off the liquid, and others that dont.  I would think that by draining off some of the liquid, you would also be removing some of the curing agent. So I have opted to leave mine...

    A little sausage and some Canadian bacon ......with-Q-views…….

    I purchased a dedicated meat grinder and used it to  ground up some beef chuck roast, short ribs, and a little sirloin that was on sale. I used 2/3 of it to make burgers and the other 1/3 I mixed with some fresh ground pork. I used two parts pork to one part beef, added some minced garlic...
