Best practices for sausage making
That was a good link. Even though my casing packed in dry salt only said 30 min on the package, I will soak them for several days as directed in the link. The casings did look very soft in the pictures after soaking.- milkman55

Best practices for sausage making
I have made three 5lb batches of various pork sausage - Andouille, Hot Links and Sweet Italian. Going to make a new batch of Garlic sausage tomorrow. What is the secret to getting the natural pork casings more tender? I have the ones packed dry in salt and I soak them in water for about 30...- milkman55

Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)
After such a good experience with Bear's Extra Smoky Bacon, thought I would try the Canadian Bacon. My wife already reminding me I need to make more bacon. I bought two 3 lb pork loins at my local HEB. I can do a lot better on price at Costco, but just not convenient today. I measured out 3... -

BACON (Extra Smoky)
TQ - Morton Tender Quick Curing Salt This is the basis of curing used in this thread. I get mine on Amazon for $10 / bag - prime. You will see a lot of discussion of folks trying to find it as it's not in many grocery stores. Works great -
BACON (Extra Smoky)
Those salty bacon ends were diced up and destined for a pot of soup with white beans. Should be outstanding. -
BACON (Extra Smoky)
I just bought my first 10 lb belly at Costco and cut it in half to make 5 lbs of bacon using this step by step. Well, it made 11 packages of 6 thick slices (hand cut, no slicer yet) and we have already gone through half of it. It's perfect. My wife insists I keep it coming. I did a test... -

20 lbs of Leg Quarters
My local grocery had their 10 lb bags of chicken leg quarters for $3.90 per bag. So two bags later, I had 20 lbs of chicken soaking in the Slaughterhouse Brine overnight. I then dried them off and trimmed any excess skin and tails and added Jeff's Rub liberally to all the parts. Fired up... -

Temp too low to smoke wood chips
I have had my MES 30 about two months and I also struggled with this same issue. Really two viable options - Masterbuilt makes a Cold Smoker attachment for about $50 that is a separate unit with its own power to ignite the chips and feed smoke into the MES30. A Maze N products makes a 5x8...- milkman55

Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smokehouse - moisture leakage through front legs
Mine does the same thing. I just bought a grill mat to put under the smoker to keep it off the deck. Might try pulling the bottom aluminum tray as far forward as possible as long as it still reaches the rear drain.- milkman55
