I watched the "Good Eats" episode where AB made his beef jerky. He did actually use a home made dehydrator and did not air dry the beef. I don't recall offhand, but he did indicate the beef had to reach a certain temp to dehydrate properly. I don't believe he was using unsafe procedures. In...
Thanks All...I was leaning towards the fibrous but just needed some confirmation that was the right path. With that decided, I'll order the casings and instacure and away I go. I'll post my first effort and look forward to input.

I'm through the basics of Rytek's book, have the new plates for my grinder and got a stuffer for Christmas. I think I have a good idea of spices, however any suggestions will be gratefully accepted!
Now for my main question for the old hands at this....natural or synthetic casing? I'm still...
Hi Tony,
I went strictly by the timing and as I wasn't worried about the internal temp until the 6th hour was complete, it seemed to work just about right. I think my IT was around 180 when I pulled them after 6 hours. I did have a fluctuation in the smoker temp while it averaged about 225...

We built a home out here about 3 years ago and used it for a vacation spot. We just retired and moved here full time so we are still getting the lay of the land. I've got most of what I need to start my first attempt at sausage making. Just need to order casings and instacure #1...
Hi All,
Moving from Wisconsin to Arizona, I find a severe lack of decent summer sausage of any kind! So...I decided to give it a shot. Just picked up and started reading Rytek's book and started accumulating the essential tools. I was able to get additional plates for my Universal hand grinder...
Hi All,
I'm fairly new to smoking and new to Arizona! Actually I've spent time in this great state, but just recently relocated to that same small town in the south, Tucson. Just getting started with a MES 30 learning to dial it in. Looking forward to learning a lot!
Actually, the only real issue I had was keeping the temp in the smoker. The digital thermometer in the MES said one thing and my Maverick remote thermometer said something different. Overall, it went well and the cooking time was about what I had planned. If you get Jeff Phillips newsletter, he...
