    Type of Salt for Pop's Brine

    That makes sense and since I have been using Diamond Kosher, it made me think it may be a tad light on the salt.  Thanks for the info! Thanks Pops!  When you say that it will not require further fresh water freshening, that may have been my problem with the turkey legs.  Just figured I would...

    Type of Salt for Pop's Brine

    Ha!  Well, I figured I could always add more salt.  But I was just wondering if I was using the wrong salt.  What is nice is if I did get it too salty, I guess I could always just do an extra ice water bath to remove some of it.

    Type of Salt for Pop's Brine

    I have used Pop's brine a couple of times.  Once was just me winging it with some sliced flank steak that I hung in the smoker to try and make jerky.  Came out more like snack sticks because I was running out of time and I cranked up the heat to somewhat cook them.  It wasn't jerky but tasted...

    Lox - Wet Brine Recipe?

    I just ordered an AMNPS the other day so I just have to take the leap and try this.  I really like Costco smoked salmon and I am pretty sure it is wet brine cured. Scuba, you let yours soak for what I thought would be a short time but you do use a lot of salt.  Have you done any variations to...

    Lox - Wet Brine Recipe?

    And...   is there a thread on it?  What were the results?   How do you think it compared to dry cured lox?  Thanks, Adam

    Lox - Wet Brine Recipe?

    I have been wanted to make some lox, however, I would like to keep it nice and easy by simply using a wet brine/cure.  I thought about just using a variation of Pop's brine recipe and letting the fish soak for a day.  Then pull out of the brine and do a taste test to determine the necessary...

    My First Smoke - Spare Ribs

    She really liked them!  However, she wants to do some babybacks next time because she felt the spares were a little too fatty.  Nothing too special on that front, some corn and cheesy broccoli with mushrooms.  I really wanted to make some corn bread, even if it was Jiffy, it just sounded good.

    My First Smoke - Spare Ribs

    I got an MES 40 yesterday and I tried it out today. I've never been a huge fan of ribs but my fiancee loves them so I thought I would do them and try and convince her the smoker wasn't a waste of money. Frankly, these were the best ribs I have ever had. I was thrilled with how they turned...

    Smoker from SE Michigan - MES 40

    Hey Everyone, I have been lurking on the forum for some time but I just got my smoker in today and I am seasoning it now, an MES 40. I bought it from Sam's Club. The first thing that I did was do a boil test for the meat probe which read 211 at a full boil, so dang near dead on. However, I...

    Which dust/pellet smoker?

    Thanks for the responses. But sawdust can't jump rows in the pellet smoker though, correct? I see the design of the pellet smoker and the rows don't look like they touch so I figured with that design I could run sawdust above 180 without it jumping rows.

    Which dust/pellet smoker?

    I just bought a MES 40 from Sams and it will be delivered soon.  I want to buy an amazen smoker for it and I see a lot of the info here.  But, I see conflicting/confusing info regarding using sawdust at higher temps.  Frankly, I figure that I am just going to buy the pellet smoker so I have the...
