    Ramping Up!

    I told my wife a day or so before Christmas that if I didn't get a Thermapen for Christmas then I would just buy one myself. Low and behold my in-laws got me the back-lit Thermapen! It even came with a little baby Thermapen, so now I have two!!! But that was just the beginning. My wife comes...

    Steps To Follow After The Wet Cure ? First Timer Here...

    When I hot smoked mine in the pellet smoker I would go out every 10-20 minutes and open the door to let some of the heat out, then close it back up and let it smoke. My smoker was running at about 200-225 degrees in the evening. The fat started to get translucent on the bottom (fat cap on...

    smoked sun flower seeds?

    I smoke sunflower seeds, in shell, all the time. I usually add some olive oil and then spices depending on my mood. The beauty of it is that you can use just about any spices. Then when you smoke it you just go until they dry back out.

    Yet another 1st Bacon Story

    Can I do this after smoking without losing the smoke flavor? Or do I need to do this before I smoke it?

    Yet another 1st Bacon Story

    Thanks DaveOmak,  I am using Morton's Tender Quick Cure, and I used an amount based on the instructions on the bag, though that isn't for bacon specifically, it says 1/2 oz. per lb. of meat. Since I had 2.5 lbs of pork belly, I used 1 1/4 oz. It is good to know that Ruhlman's recipe is above...

    Yet another 1st Bacon Story

    No pics for this first batch. I'll get pics on the next one to post though.  I've already resigned myself to homemade bacon for the rest of my life!

    Yet another 1st Bacon Story

    I finally cured my own bacon. I had been watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and one one particular episode it seemed that every episode he visited had cured their own bacon! This got me raring to try it myself. I had found a recipe online, it was by Michael...

    Smoking Sunflower Seeds

    So they turned out really good! I added olive oil to Trader Joes roasted and salted sunflower seeds, then coated liberally with black pepper. I would go even heavier on the pepper next time. Then I smoked them over applewood for about 1.5 hours on the "smoke" setting on my Treager Jr...

    Smoking Sunflower Seeds

    I've searched and saw a couple of older threads about smoking sunflower seeds. I thought about this last night, and will definitely try a batch over the weekend. My plan is to buy roasted/salted sunflower seeds, then I'll mix them with some olive oil, and add some additional seasoning to them...

    New Years Eve Goodies!

    Thanks! I'm figuring out the smoker still, and when I get all the little intricacies down, food will come out much better. In this case, I was still bouncing between the medium and high setting over the cook time (checked temp every 20 minutes or so). I am definitely getting the digital control...
