    Big Nor'easter coming

    I was talking to some guys today. I well remember the Blizzard of '78. They weren't born until maybe 30 years later. We all laughed. I told them to remember this storm. It will be their '78. I also told them to remember me when they tell their buddies about the Blizzard of '22... 30 years from...

    Jerky Recipe ?

    My WORD! I'm eating my third effort at this recipe. I absolutely LOVE it! Dude... this is what I think jerky should taste like! Time got away from me and I wound up soaking my eye round for a week and a half or so. I'm glad I sliced some healthy 3/8" hunks. It's even BETTER! My previous...

    Ok to interrupt drying?

    My jerky is well-cured and baked off. I've been oven-drying for four and a half hours. It looks like I still have three more hours to go. It's bed time. Lights out. I'll pat surface grease dry, take the meat to close to room temperature, zip-loc bag, and refrigerate. Finish drying tomorrow. I...

    Jerky Recipe ?

    Thank you for the simple Hillbilly Backwoods Jerky recipe. This is my first batch doing it the right, SAFE way with curing and baking before drying. Simple and flavorful was my goal and your recipe delivered with ingredients I always have kicking around. After soaking for three days and...

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    I'm just amazed at how far along this equipment has come. I used to smoke on "Ye Ol' Brinkmann." It was a vertical cabinet made of heavy-duty tinfoil. I did one smoke, maybe two, and let it rust until finally setting it on at the sidewalk for neighborhood scavengers to take. That was maybe ten...

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    Thank you for this info about settling in the smoker. I have a Weber Kettle and didn't know about the settling thing. Also someone else (or probably was you) had a tidbit about setting up the snake with wood chunks every six inches or so. Another good nugget. So glad you (and everyone else)...

    Soy Glazed Beef Plate Ribs!

    Thank you, civilsmoker! It looks like my question belongs in a thread you contributed to here: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/a-pellet-smoker-that-actually-smokes-meat.312587/post-2288227 I only have a Weber Kettle and have smoked in it a half-dozen times... in the summer...

    Found Value, Chipped In

    I'm impressed by how members come from all over and by how long they've been contributing, as seen from the volume of postings. That, and the lack of name-calling points to quality. I read a post about sodium tripolyphosphate and another about anise and immediately retreated to Pop's cure to...

    Found Value, Chipped In

    Thanks, Dan! From what I've been reading, once you know how to keep things safe, everything else is bells and whistles. I can make dog food or gourmet fare. As long as the dog doesn't die, I'll be fine. With help from you and others, I'll get closer to gourmet after some trial, error, and help...

    Found Value, Chipped In

    Thanks, indaswamp! I've read many posts here where folks jump in to correct bad info found elsewhere. That made me know I found the right place for me. I've messed around a bit with smoking on my Webber Kettle. Then I tried making jerky (again) when I ran into a post somewhere that mentioned...

    Found Value, Chipped In

    Hi, gang! Thanks for having me! I lurked for a few weeks, then registered. I got a VERY useful smoking tutorial in email. Then I hit this thread on temperature: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/whats-special-about-225°.312005/ I was sold when the guy said that there was nothing...
