I'd say first, YES you can (and in most cases probably will) smoke previously frozen meat. Your friend is completely misguided. I say smoke that quacker and don't let him have any! Just brag on about how good it was and tell him how he should have been there but since you didn't think he would...
I agree w/ Jersey. First thing that came to my mind is that the hind has some great meat for nice jerky strips. Otherwise, snack sticks, and whatever else he said.

I've always done mine whole. You can get bigger slices that way. In fact I don't even recall reading that you were supposed to cut them into pieces. Guess that shows how good I am at following directions. It comes out great every time though!

Was just telling the wife last night that it was time to do some more BBB. Think I'll try tying them up like yours next time.
Great looking bacon!

I too have used the Curley's kit for VB and cannot say enough good about it. Definitely worth it. I even packed the outside of a few loaveswith black pepper for a peppered bacon. SOO GOOD!

Never saw the Jerry snacks around here, but I can attest that the Timothy Leary was KABLAM!! Spent most of the evening convincing myself that I was ok. Those were some days...I tell ya.

Not in my player right now, but I do have it in my collection.
Glad to see some DeadHeads here. I love the Grateful Dead! Saw 19 shows. Still have the ticket to what would have been #20 (show canceled due to "rioting")
Otherwise my fav would have to be The Yonder Mountain String Band.

WOW! I ordered my vac sealer yesterday a.m. real early, and it was delivered to my house TODAY!
Thanks again Ronp for the tip. My last sealer kicked about a month ago. Had it for 10 yrs though so I got my $$ worth.

When I was buying butts in Omaha I was normally paying about 1.69 or so at the wall hell. In Plattsmouth where I'm living now there is a small grocery that regularly has sale price of .99. I stocked up for sausage and got 8 7-9 pounders the last time. Spares are goin 1.29 right now too. But I...
So was this yesterday or today? I can get the item in my cart but cant get through checkout. After long delay says the page cant be displayed.
What gives?

I just made my first batch of snack sticks and I did not do an ice bath. I used natural sheep casings and just set them on the counter to cool after smoking. Friends said these were my best deer treats yet. For the pork I used trimmings and end pieces from a loin that became canadian bacon and a...
I just bought the 5lb vertical LEM stuffer from the Bass Pro Shop and I love it. I've only used it once so far on 5 lbs of snack stix w/ sheep casings and it could not have been easier. I ran the stuffer at 12:30 at night, drunk, and by myself and it still worked perfectly. Stuffer was $149. I...
The sticks look great! I just did my first batch a few weeks ago using sheeps casings. Are the collagen casings easier to use? I really like the snap of the natural ones but I imagine I'll have to try the collagen eventually as I already have a package of those too.
But like I first...
