Great job on the bacon, Craig. Excellent tutorial as well. Glad it's a WIKI so I can access it easily. I know I'll be using it for reference. Thanks much.

If everyone on the BBQ web sites would just get out and put forth the effort that it takes to overcome the obsticles that appear to be on the voting, Jeanie would just blow everybody else away. We all know who the best food blogger is, hands down.
I have an 18.5 WSM, as well as just about everything else that Weber makes. I had a welder/metal fab friend make a ring for it. I use the Rib-O-Lator rotisserie unit on it. Work very well for roasts and birds. Can't use the Rib-O-Lator trays, because it's too small in diameter. The handle...
Yup, I know. Todd is a very sloppy packer. There were some extra pellets in my order, too. I didn't order them, nor was I billed for them. I called him about the mistake, and he just rambled on something about helping the Cherry pellets burn, or some such. Ya just never know about that guy. He...
Just got a vote in for Jeannie!!! Took me 2 days of wranglin' around with 2 computers ta git 'er done. Originally could only get her 2nd place ranking list up with no button to vote. Then could post up the voting list with the voting buttons, but no listing for cowgirl. Finally got it to show...
Definately not looking to do it commercially, but would like to try it on some bacon first. Then, maybe go for a ham. I've never cured a fresh ham before, but with your brine, I think may have to give 'er a whirl. Got some cobs lined up already. Corn harvest will be starting here, very soon...
Thanks, Pops! That was another extremely interesting post. Ahhh, the good old days.....when ya worked your rump off! Living in Iowa and having friends and family still in farming, I can get all the corn cobs I could use. I may get ahold of some cobs, dry 'em out good, chop 'em up and give 'em a...
Sunman, if your just looking at trying to make some sausage, you can actually make several types without any equipment at all. You can buy ground beef and or ground pork from your butcher or grocer. Ground chuck will have a fat content of about 20%, which is very acceptable and ground pork will...
Glad all is well, and it was just a testing experience. As much as it sucks, ya gotta do what the Doc says. Given your history, don't be take'n any chances. Look, you gotta stay around to keep all of the rookies that get on here, from killing themselves!! I'm sure you've probably already saved...
Thanks Pops, I can just picture you and your brother doing that. LOL I love your life stories. They're priceless. I'll be waiting to hear more from you anytime your ready.
That's some great lookin' bacon there. I really like Maple, too. Pairing it with Plum is really nice. 2 parts Maple and 1 part Plum, makes a very smooth, distinctive and desireable smoke flavor, Try it sometime. I know you'll like it, too.

Pops has a post just recently about the "smoke ring". Has to do with nitrites, nitrates and such which are also common in vegetables.........:Pssst, don't tell the vegans or they'll have a sh&t fit. Makes you wonder why Broccoli doesn't have a smoke ring. Never mind, if it tastes good, EAT IT!
I do have some serious questions about any recollections you have of your dad smoking with corn cobs, but let me start it off with a little story, since we both remember "the olden' days".
We had an old neighbor, named Inor Johnson. As with many of us farm folks, "back in the days", he had what...
Ditto what Dave, Sqwib & Al said. In retrospect, I may have seemed a little harsh in my criticism of the WSM. Fact is, I love 'em and did just fine with them right out of the box. Some of us just can't leave well enough alone and I was probably a little "cranky" that day. I think they are...
