    All Beef Weiners - collagen casings?

    Have you tried Canada Compound at 900 Bradford (between Polo Park and the airport)? They supply commercial operations but are happy to help someone who walks in for casings, spices and all sorts of supplies. I am more than certain that they would have all the casings you would ever need to make...

    Low sodium kielbasa and regular kielbasa

    I agree with what some others have said about using a binder and more water in the mix to achive a different texture. I would also suggest making sure that the mix has been mixed enough. The massaging action of mixing activates some of the protiens found in the meat and causes them to bind to...

    Convection smoker - freezer build

    I pulled my latches out of the box and realized that they are a lot bigger than what I had imagined. I will still be able to use them but I think my smoker will now be able to resist explosions inside!

    Convection smoker - freezer build

    Just received notice that my order from Amazon (my doorlatches and a CDN probe thermometer) have arrived at the parcel service just across the line in North Dakota. Sounds like my f-i-l is going down tomorrow to pick up some other parcels and will get mine as well. I wish that shipping rates...

    Convection smoker - freezer build

    I looked at the link provided. I am not too sure that that would work for me. I understand that speed control doesn't work on capacitor started motors. I definitely have a capacitor start. I know that there are some two and even three speed motors out there but the one I was able to find only...

    Convection smoker - freezer build

    My only fear is that it will dry things a little too much and the eating won't be the most enjoyable experience. I would have like to have a two speed fan but the only motor I could find at an attractive price at the moment was a one speed. I think I suffer from the same disorder as my...

    Convection smoker - freezer build

    About a year ago I came across a free 21 cubic foot smoker. It's been a bit of a slow process but this is as far as my brother-in-law and I have come on our build. I modeled it after the commercial smokers I have seen in sausage kitchens (and the meat lab used in my meat processing certificate)...
