    Advice about snack sticks...

    I want to thank all of you for your input and advice! I was not letting them sit after smoking, I would just bring them into the house and let them air dry on racks until they were at room temp. Probably should have waited a little longer for them to bloom. The other problem was when I did them...

    Advice about snack sticks...

    I am going to smoke some venison/pork snack sticks this weekend, I have been reading here that most people give the sticks a ice cold water bath after taking out of the smoker to drop the temp. I am curious if that is entirely necessary? I have done three different batches in the past and two of...

    Question about FATTIES?

    I smoked a couple of fatties the other day, smoked them at 235-250 degrees for about 2.5 hours or so. After the internal temp got to 155 I looked at them for the first time and the bacon wrap was just slightly browned from the smoke and only cooked half of the way through! How do I get it so the...

    Finished new smoker build!

    Yeah, I know! I wanted to be able to 20 pounds or so of snack sticks and summer sausage. That is the main reason I built it, I can only fit 9 pounds of sticks on my Brinkmanns offset smoker and want to be able to do all of it in one smoke plus It is hard to hold the low temps in the offset! Thanks!

    Finished new smoker build!

    So I finally got all of it together and seasoned her well! I am working on my third smoke in it and it seems to work great, holds 235-245 degrees steady for hours. I kind of got the idea from a member on here that had built one similar, I figured what the heck I can build one like that! So here...

    Suggestions on new smokehouse

    I used plywood for the box, there is one here similar on the forum that I got the idea from.

I might have to...
