    Summer Sausage and Liquid Smoke

    As already stated above, it's all comes down to preference. But, larger dia. casings will take longer to reach finished internal temp.

    How long should I smoke beef jerky?

    As far as the beef; the leaner the better, basically the round cuts, top, bottom, eye, etc.... I usually smoke for 3 - 4 hours @ 90° - 120° and  then  continue drying (without smoke) inside the smoker until I get the desired texture. Let us know how it comes out.

    Flavors

    Foamheat, no need to smuggle in cheese, it is legal in personal use quantities, generally 10 pounds or less. I usually go to Mexico twice a year and always declare it and never had a problem. Got all the info from CBP.gov

    Andouille Foamheart

    Thanks for the quick response. I had a feeling that "tradition" had something to do with it. Nothing wrong with that, and Pop always knew what he was talking about.    And you can't argue with good results!

    Andouille Foamheart

    Nice work on the Andouille FH, great post. One question, where you stated 'Its all mixed except for the 1/4C of seasoning I reserved for just before stuffing tomorrow.'  Why the holdback on the seasoning until just before stuffing? I've never heard of this being done before. Thanks for your time.

    Hanger Steak: New to me on the West Coast, w/ Q-view

    A great piece of meat for sure! Those 4 big pieces are usually trimmed up and divided into two steaks by following that seam of connective tissue down the middle. Sometimes the two steaks are butterflied to even out the thickness. And like John stated above, grilled hot and fast, not past...

    Pork Butt necessary to freeze??

    Another option; if you have a vacuum sealer, is to poach the pulled pork right in the bag. The finishing sauce suggested by Chef Jimmy sounds great.
