    Thanks Todd! 142* IT it is. I'm glad you responded and got me straightened out as far as the right IT! I've read many of your previous ham & CB threads.

    My first fatty! Bacon, jalapeno popper!

    The flavor was awesome if you like some spice! Not too hot as I removed the seeds from the jalapeños. (My wife are it and had seconds, so I know it wasn't too spicy!) The changes I will make for next time are: Thin strips of jalapeños More bacon or bacon weave Thinner strips/less cream cheese...

    Jerky is in the smoker @ 150*. My only question now is how long should I let it go? And should I increase the temp or let it stay at 150? Thanks, Brian

    7.5 lbs Venison jerky

    I have duck in my smoker as I type this. It's been going about an hour at 150* without smoke. I plan to add light smoke in 30 minutes. What is the total time you had your venison in the smoker and did you keep the temp at 150 for the duration? I look forward to seeing your final product.

    My first fatty! Bacon, jalapeno popper!

    After about 2 hours of apple and cherry smoke.... I used 4 slices of pre-cooked bacon, half a brick of cream cheese and a few handfuls of shredded cheddar. Next time I'd add more bacon, less (thinner slices) of cream cheese and maybe a little more cheddar. There was a decent (perfect, in my...

    Ham and Canadian Bacon with Pop's Brine and Pork Loin

    Aside from the different brine you used for the ham and CB, you just tied two pork loins together for the ham and the CB is just on pork loin? Once I complete my duck jerky project this weekend  I guarantee ham and CB are next! I might even start the brine/curing process as soon as my shipment...

    Duck jerky advice or tips....

    I have a bunch of duck breasts that I'm getting ready to make jerky on my MSE 30. First, should I brine the duck for a day or two or just throw it straight into a marinade? Second, can anyone recommend a good recipe what kind of wood would be best?
