    First attempt at lox -SmokinAl method

    I have the AMAZEN 5x8 maze, not the tube. pretty sure I bought it because of a post on here...maybe even because of SmokinAl's tutorial. :emoji_astonished: - I'll try making pellets into dust next time. If I could have found juniper berries for a reasonable price, I would have tried them. Maybe...

    First attempt at lox -SmokinAl method

    Tried this a couple months ago and just joined the forum, so here it goes with a few pictures: I followed Al’s method almost to the letter. I didn’t trim up the salmon filets (cut the tails off) since I don’t eat salmon other than smoked. Next time I will trim them up to more square-so the...

    I haven’t priced crab meat in a while, but seems like I found it about $18 a pound For lump about a month ago. I wouldn’t spend for jumbo lump to go in crab cakes. Your post makes me want to go dig out my recipe and make some cakes. Mine are pan fried in butter and served with a roasted...

    Buc-cee's Peppered Dried Beef - recipe/tips?

    Down here in Texas we have the most glorious chain of convenience store/gas stations called Buc-cee's. In addition to having the cleanest restrooms anywhere, they have all sorts of stuff for sale - including my personal favorite: "Peppered dried beef" it's like a very thick jerky, that is very...

    Bacon failure? Need advice

    Thanks for the response. They were vacuum sealed, and yes, produced little liquid. I didn't freeze the belly, but no telling how it was handled by Costco prior to retail sale. This was also the thickest portion of the 12# belly. It seems really odd to me that the "inside" meat would be pink...

    Bear - the weirdly colored bacon was not hot smoked (or I wouldn't call it hot). It was smoked over only the one AMAZEN rack of pellets and no other charcoal. I did not probe it for IT, and the dome thermometer on the KJ didn't even move off it's lowest point. (my mistake, I should have probed...
