    Verification Email Never Works

    I have been on the forum for a little while and I still get the "Please check your email inbox for our verification message and follow its instructions."  I've clicked it five times, had different emails sent and clicked those links, but, that banner still won't go away. Am I doing something...

    Marinated Flank Steak w/ Recipe

    I have made this about half a dozen time and I can't wait to make it again.  It keeps the steak very juicy and it is very flavorful.  I often let it marinate for a couple of days.  I actually overcooked it just a bit.  But as you can see, juice is still pouring out.  I recommend that...

    Cabelas 1/2 HP Grinder

    Hey Guys, I am going to buy a grinder and, after much soul searching (and research on here), I have decided to just buy the Cabelas grinder.  I see searches on here and I know a lot of you guys have the 1 hp.  I can't justify the price for the 1 hp, and I am just leaning towards the 1/2 hp. ...

    MES 40 to Make Jerky - Use the Water Pan?

    Hey Everyone, I tried making some jerky one night and it came out more like snack sticks because they had a lot of moisture to them.  Now granted, I could have cooked them longer but it was already midnight and I had to get ready for bed.  (No complaining about the outcome because all the...

    More Smoke or Longer Smoke?

    Thanks for the responses guys!  I know we always want TBS but my query was more about heavier TBS or lighter TBS for longer time.  For example, whether to light both ends of my AMNPS or just the one, i.e. light one end and it burns for 8 hours, light both ends and it goes for 4.  Especially with...

    Lox - Wet Brine Recipe?

    Well, I did it.  I only smoked it for 12 hours.  I loved the texture, it wasn't fishy, and it was very easy.  However, when I say I "only" smoked it for 12 hours, it was a little too smokey.  But, it will hopefully mellow a bit and then it will be perfect.  Here is the Q-view!  I soaked it for...

    More Smoke or Longer Smoke?

    I did a quick search and I didn't find an answer.  What is the opinion on whether you should have a longer smoke or just more smoke?  For example, I made some lox today and I basically smoked it for 12 hours.  I also did some cheese on a single lit AMNPS for four hours.  I have an AMNPS, so I...

    Lox - Wet Brine Recipe?

    I did my first run on smoking some cheese. I bought a "three-alarm" pepper/colby jack cheese and did it for four hours.  Tried a bite, too harsh at the moment, needs to mellow.  But the real thing I am about doing is the salmon.  I went to Sams today and bought a nice looking filet and I trimmed...

    Lox - Wet Brine Recipe?

    I got my AMZNPS the other day, just burned the oil off and doing a little test run with some dust.  I was reading "Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausage" by Stanley and Adam Marianski.  They had a little blurp on cold smoked salmon.  It was very simple.  It says "Place salmon fillets in...

    Type of Salt for Pop's Brine

    I was thinking after I wrote the earlier reply, what brand/type of salt do you normally use Pops?  I see you said sea salt or non-iodine regular salt, but is it fine like table salt? Or is a coarse salt? Thanks!
