    Canadian bacon question

    I just did 2 1/2 and a 3 lb'r I let cure for 10 days. I used Morton Tender Quick though. 1 Tablespoon of TQ per lb and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar per lb. After 10 days I rinsed off and soaked in water for 1 hour and then did an end piece for test. Took me about 5 hours to smoke to 165...

    Smoked meats and Diabetics Please HELP

    Type 2 here myself. when I went to my first dietician I was mainly doing summer sausage and jerky at that time. Her advice was I could have a 4 ozs of the meat if I kept the sausage 80% no lower. Then jerky is almost all lean meat if your doing it yourself. Shooter I was on medication...

    Is there a solution for too much cure?

    I would toss just to be on the safe side. I would think it would be to salty to eat anyways. I made the mistake of wanting to add more seasoning on some sausage from a kit. So I measured them out not thinking I needed less cure as I was adding enough season for an extra 2 lbs.

    Nasty Snack Sticks

    When I think back when I used them type casings they pretty much looked the same. I eventually switched to sheep casings and haven't looked back. I used to get a kit that had the same casings and when I followed there directions of temps and cook times they turned out a little better. But...

    smoked polish sausage w/qview

    Really can't add any advice that hasn't been covered here. What you might also do is get a note book and take notes on every attempt. Likes and dislikes of each attempt. Reason being if you make adjustments from memory of the last cook you may keep going in circles. This way you can...

    GOSM Temp issue

    Also check and make sure connection is right. With mine if you do not tighten it down correctly I get the same problems you have. Now I am the only one who changes my tank. Also make sure you are turning off your smoker and not just the tank. Some people like to turn the tank off til there...

    Wireless thermometer suggestions

    Might as well as toss in 3rd type. I use a Nu-Temp type. It has a base and can have up to 3 transmitters. I use one for watching my smoker temp and the other 2 for meat internal temp. They have alarms for high temp or low temp range. I can sit in my big puffy chair and see what all 3 are doing.

    Trouble Getting 200+ F Temps

    Take a few more pics of your burner set up. Outside and inside connection. You may just need a new burner set up. If so look for a unwanted turkey deep fryer and cut the stand down to fit. I know there is plans floating around here I just don't know where of a similar smoker as your.

    Myself I have the Hortons Realtree 175 it was the best buy for my money at the time. Exclibur would be next my purchase when I replace what I have. You may also want to check your local laws as here in Michigan they can only be rated at 350 fps for hunting purposes any thing over is not...

    Insta Cure setup time

    Well the first hour I would run at 130 to dry the your sticks out, then kick up to 160 to 170 for the smoke a couple of hours and then maybe up to 200 to finish @ 152 internel temp and then ice bath down to 110 and let set at room temp for blooming. My best guess would be 5 to 7 hours going...
