    Need some advice on venison sausage

    OK, my fellow sausage "homies". I'm in need of some advice on using venison. I've eaten what I think are pretty good venison snack stix, venison summer sausage, and venison dried beef. They were done by one of our local small locker plants who is very well known for being an excellent processor...

    A-Maze-N

    I've found that both AMNS & AMNPS work perfectly in my GOSM BB or any other smoker, grill, coffee can or whatever I happen to be using.  Placing either device to best take advantage of adequate airflow is the key. Open the bottom intakes as much as is necessary for good airflow, even if you have...

    Got a question for Pops about smokin' Turkey's

    Thanks Pops, that's exactly what I was looking for. A 225° smoker temp it is. With the GOSM, I usually fire it up for about an hour or so to burn the nasties off the wood chunks and get to that coveted TBS. It also allows the smoker temp to settle in, so it can cruise along without excessive...

    Got a question for Pops about smokin' Turkey's

    I know a lot of folks don't seem to care for a "Hammy" tasting turkey. Myself, that is my preference, as my dad used to pick one up on occasion from the Amana Colony smokehouse about this time of year, when I was a kid. Man, how I loved the flavor of that turkey! I have tried to duplicate that...

    Is it Possible to Smoke Meat on a Weber Kettle?

    achilles, you absolutely can smoke stuff on a kettle. You'll need to use just a few briquettes, say maybe 10-15 and keep them banked up to one side of the kettle and keep the meat or whatever on the the opposite side. You can fashion a piece of metal or a fire brick to help keep the charcoal...

    Naked Dixee Chicks at Corn Cob City!

If he's still looking for folks to try the pellets with pro & con feedback, I'd be game. Can't remember right off hand who turned the oak pellets into charcoal ( I'll...
