    First attempt at smoking Brats and Kielbasa.. question?

    I fried some up as I was bagging it. They turned out really good and weren't tough. No more crisp than you would expect after frying them anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First attempt at smoking Brats and Kielbasa.. question?

    Is there an average that it takes roughly to know when you're getting to that point where you should pull them and poach them instead of letting them finish out in the smoker?  I figured I would have had these smoked in eight hours or less.

    First attempt at smoking Brats and Kielbasa.. question?

    Mixed up 8 lbs of brats and 8 lbs of Kielbasa last night using pork butt and stuffed into hog casings.  Followed all the directions to a T.  I added the correct amount of pink salt to each batch.   Warmed up the MES this morning to 120F and then put the sausages on.  Let them sit at this temp...

    MES 40 Cleaning

    I gave up on cleaning mine.  Don't need to look in there anyways.  You can't see anything through the smoke.

    Nonfat dry milk vs Soy Protein Concentrate?

    I'm planning to make some Brats this weekend using Legg's Old Plantation seasonings.  The directions say use 12 oz nonfat dry milk.  I bought some soy protein a while back and was hoping I could substitute.  Would I be making a bad mistake?

    bradley smoker and home made jerky

    I agree to not be shy on the water.  It makes the mixing process a lot easier and it will evaporate when dehydrating or smoking.

    Couple of Questions about the Big Easy Oiless Fryer

    I just did two for Thanksgiving.   1.  I used a wired Maverick to monitor temps.  Used my thermapen to verify when nearly at temp.   2.  I didn't brine.  Just injected the night before.

    bradley smoker and home made jerky

    It sounds like it was over cooked.  I've made it before the same way but I pull it off while it is still a little moist.  I set my smoker or dehydrator at 165.

    Beef Jerky: Ten Pounds, Two Types (with Pics)

    Just made some more teriyaki. Started it out on the dehydrator and after three hours, moved it to the smoker. I've discovered that it easier getting it somewhat stiff first than hanging raw dripping meat in the smoker with toothpicks. Smoke for about three hours with hickory and what isn't done...

    Oil-less turkey fryers - Pros? Cons?

    You know.. something I left out was before I put the bird in the cooker I rubbed olive oil over it and THEN dusted it with the other ingredients listed above. That's prob the kicker to how mine turned out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil-less turkey fryers - Pros? Cons?

    Figured I would follow up in this thread with my two turkeys I cooked in the bigeasy. I injected each the night before with 1 cup butter and 1/3 creole mixed in. Smeared what I couldn't inject over the birds and then dusted with more creole, garlic powder and a little pepper. Turned out...

    New girl - need the experts' help!

    That's the deal I got. Anything that's free and worth having is always good. I've yet to use them though.. I like my pork in chunks, not pulled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New girl - need the experts' help!

    That is the same one I replaced my older Maverick with.  I haven't had any problems with it.  I have to refresh my memory on how to program it every so often when I have to use it but it has worked great so far.  I did test my probes out of the package and one was acting up but Maverick sent me...

    Oil-less turkey fryers - Pros? Cons?

    I have used the big easy the last three years. Turkey comes out perfect and delicious every time. No oil or mess to deal with. Bird ends up crispy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wood chips??

    I'm on a hickory kick but that's just me.  I don't use chips, but pellets.  Pellets are the only way to go in my opinion.  I can smoke for around 8 hours on two cups of them.
