Kabanosy - Troubleshooting
in the freezer or in the sausage... Fat with freezer burn can look discolored and dry. IMO it wont bind well with meat. and vise versa. Freezer burnt meat wont bind well with good fat. A vacuum sealer is a great way to keep meats fresh for up to 3 yrs in the freezer. -
Kabanosy - Troubleshooting
Curious, did you use the same fat in the second batch used in the first batch. Fat differs from suppliers. I tried different fat suppliers and only use one now. I get high quality uncured fatback and remove the skin. Vacuum seal it immediatley and store for freshness. Also fat storred inproperly... -

I need help with casings
I suggest using high quality casings packed in a salt brine. ( I use butcher and packer) Follow the instructions above how to handle casings. If you want to make the casing as soft as posibble do the par boil to finish. If their still too tough go with cellulose casings and get rid of the casing... -

I'm leaning towards using cloth like this and some fabric gorilla glue. Looks like someone did a peel test and gorilla glue did very well and better than most other glues for this application. I'll make two blocks of wood, line them with parchment paper, make two patches, glue and sandwich them... -

Good information John..... I was looking at that tear mender as one of my best options. The only problem is the glue has very bad reviews. The glue is dried and unusable in the bottle when the customer opens it. If I can get it locally I can just return it and get another one. Denim sounds like... -

Jerry, How's the smoke house pipe burner. Are you still using it or did you go with something else. I know we had some issues when it got cold at night and the tank was freezing up. We had to run the burner wide open to keep the heat at temp. Our plan is to hit disney monday and tuesday and... -
How to handle natural casings
I dont use pre tubed. My instructions dont fit the pre tubed application but soaking the pre tubed in water changing it frequently then storing, you should get the same results . It will also depend on if the pre tubed are packed in salt or salt solution/brine. Maybe someone who uses pre tubed...- boykjo

3-2-1 Rib Method Thoughts?
321 for spares, 221 for Babybacks at 225-240 is a good place to start for beginners. Then you can tweek from there. Learn what ribs should feel like after they are finished. I rarely wrap anymore and just go by feel. Copied and pasted post from another Epic pitmaster TNJAKE- boykjo

How to ruin perfectly good Kielbasa
IMO you put gasoline on the fire. Casings packed in salt tend to be tough if not soaked and washed for a long period of time and even then they do not become soft.. Adding vinegar will make it worse. Use a cap full of vinegar only if there is some odor present. I use butcher and packer. Great...- boykjo

WHAT WENT WRONG ?
Wondering why the soak in salt water too....... My method is to form a pellicle on the surface of the casing and then add cold smoke to a sausage. A pellicle will form and become tacky to the touch like glue and the smoke will stick to it. 2 hrs of cold smoke without heat is plenty to give it a...- boykjo
