    wet brine temps

    I keep mine in the fridge, I would be very leery of this, your meet has spent more than 4 hours in the danger zone and is not yet cured.

    How often should I add wood chip/chunks?

    Depends on the meat but generally I add chips every time it stops smoking for the entire cook time, unless I am foiling (butts and ribs) then no smoke during the foiling time. I am sure there is a point where the meat no longer absorbs the smoke but the way I look at it is that there is no way...

    Recommendation on sausage stuffer

    I have the weston, it is a good stuffer but the slow speed gear broke b/c my buddy was hungover and stuffing snack sticks, He killed it. I called weston and they did not have the part. I may be out of luck based on NEPA's comment. I hope not.

    Smoking some pheasant ?

    I think 145 is good, and safe, less would be better but not safer. Don't forget to brine the birds with your favorite brine, but go less (like half) on the salt because I am assuming your breasts don't have the skin still attached. The first time I brined phez I over salted and they turned out...

    Small smokehouse build

    Good point! I also always wonder that about the plywood in a smoker, they use some nasty resins in the manufacture of plywood.

    bourbon barrel pellets

    I have never used them but I would imagine that they would impart a flavor very similar to oak......

    Pine dust just for testing a smoke generator?

    I would not use pine dust, it has pitch and will leave a nasty creosote resin. Plus Scarbelly has a valid point, test it with something you would actually apply to your food. You can check here for some dust http://www.amazenproducts.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=21.

    Small smokehouse build

    First off, nice job on the build. I would love to have one of these things in my back yard. I do think however the latches take away some of the rustic feel of the smokehouse. I have seen some gate hardware that looked similar to your handle, maybe replace the handle with some two way gate...

    Updated with Q-view; Odd request for an injection, or so I think. Your input please.

    I would inject it with the concoction. Especially if you buy a turky that has some % of brine solution already in it. IMO when you buy those turkeys there is no need to brine (because they already are). I think the flavors would work great together.

    Newbie Questions ? Venison Summer Sausage/Snack Sticks

    Do you have a grinder and a stuffer? Or are you planning on using pre-ground meat. You will need to know the fat content of both so you can control the content of the final product. I would recommend starting with a kit. I use these http://www.hicountry.com/spices-sandwich-snack-sausage.html...
