    Curing Question

    Ok, doing some more research I found that the product is made for Cabelas by PS Seasonings. Contains .54% sodium NITRATE. And it is a 1.75# package to be dissolved in 1 gallon of water. So my question comes back to: Can I just mix this stuff up and cure UP TO 20lbs safely (I realize I'll be...

    Curing Question

    Also, I have a brining bucket (The Briner). Is it ok to cut the belly in half and put both halves in the bucket together? I think it'll fit better like that rather than try to squeeze that whole 11lb slab in there in one piece.

    Curing Question

    I think the package says it's a 1.75# package, to be mixed in 1 gallon of water, but regardless I just want to know if I can safely cure an 11lb belly with it using either the whole 1.75# package in a gallon of water or if I'm reading it wrong, the 1lb package in 1.75 gals of water. No way I...

    Curing Question

    Ok guys, I have an appx. 11lb pork belly I picked up at Costco. I also have the 1.75lb package of maple bacon cure from Cabelas. The package says that the contents mixed in 1 gallon of water will cure 20lbs of meat. Should take 5-7 days. My question is, do I need to cut down on the amount of...

    Smoked Venison Tenderloins

    Did you use the tenderloins or the loins? Big difference. The tenderloins are small strips from the inside of the deer, down near the pelvis. The loins are actually the backstraps, my favorite cut.

    Quick question on stuffed clams or clams casino

    I got to thinking about preparing some store-bought Matlaw's Stuffed Clams in the smoker. Sure enough there was a youtube video from a few years ago that did just that. Question I have is should they be defrosted first, or go in frozen just like you would prepare them in the oven? I thought...

    Deer "football" Roast

    I've done this roast many times with great success. I usually inject it first, used to love the Cajun Injector French Onion injection but that's hard to find now so use whatever you like, or don't inject at all. Use a rub or not, whatever you like. I then drape 5 or 6 slices of bacon over the...

    New Camp Chef -pleasantly surprised!

    So after initial burn in I did 5 racks of babybacks and they came out just great. I didn't foil or wrap, did the straight 4-4.5 hours and misted them every hour with my usual concoction of 2 parts apple cider, 1 part cider vinegar and 1 part bourbon. I did set them on low smoke for maybe an...

    A question about using a welding blanket to insulate my GOSM 3895GWLA

    It does get kinda cold up here in NY so I went out and bought a welding blanket. I also picked up some spring clamps, carabiners and even some strong magnets to hold the blanket on the smoker. I'm just a little concerned about covering the side vents on the smoker. Will this cause a problem...

    New Camp Chef -pleasantly surprised!

    I had been toying with the idea of adding to my arsenal with a pellet grill/smoker, so after some research and shopping around I picked up a pretty good deal (through Amazon - came with the full-length cover!) on a Camp Chef Smoke Pro DLX. I started looking at some upgrade parts and I added the...

    Yet another GOSM needle valve question.

    Hi All, Just re-registered as my previous account and password couldn't be recovered. Anyways... I recently did a bunch of mods to my GOSM 3895GWLA. Lavalock tape to seal up the door and drawers, new latches to hold them all shut nice and tight, a port for the probe wires, an upgraded door...

    Venison roast

    What I've done in the past with venison roasts is to inject the roasts with a marinade. I used a French Onion marinade from Cajun Injector that was pretty good. Season the roast all over with whatever you like, as simple as salt, pepper & garlic powder, or whatever rub floats your boat. Drape...

    Propane snoker question

    I'm using a GOSM propane smoker with applewood chips, occasionally I'll mix in a handful of oak.  I don't soak the chips.  Smoke at 225-230 for about (slightly over) 4 hours. Once an hour I mist with apple cider mixed with a little bit of apple cider vinegar and a shot of bourbon. I use the...
