    when does meat accept smoke the best

    If your smoke is thin and blue, you cant have to much. heavy white smoke makes your food taste like a bonfire. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Shipping jerky???? To Afghanistan

    Well I got the first batch of jerky out this afternoon, think its just about right, a little bit tough on the skin. I put about a tsp of water in the zip lock with the jerky to soften the very outside layer, I will make sure it is dry before vac packing it. Flavor is very good, very very good

    Shipping jerky???? To Afghanistan

    Okay, sneak peek time...I just sampled a couple of the smaller pieces, and oh my god, could be my best jerky ever. Only comment I have is the marinade comes through a little light. The texture is fantastic, smoke level is palatable to anybody! Hopefully the rest doesn't dry out to much as I'm...

    Question regarding cure and pops brine(Canadian bacon)

    FPNMF. Thanks, I forgot to mention that I weighted the down, other than that, I guess its pops method I'm following. There just wasn't a time frame listed for Canadian bacon on the post you copied, so Vasily just wasn't sure, trying to learn is all. I plan to hot smoke two of them, I may just...

    Post best joke

    Last year I thought I would be a nice guy and get my mother in law a burial plot, one less thing for her to worry about. She was thrilled, but this year I didn't get her anything, and she was rather upset with me. When questioned I explained to her that she still hasn't used my gift from last...

    Not sure which model mes you have, but my pellet smoker burns good in my mes 30. I remove the loader, and chip tray. Light pellets with a torch, and let em burn for a good 10 minutes before blowing them out. Sometime they get going so good that I can't blow them out. I have been lighting both...

    if you smoke it do you need to use a dehydrator

    As long as your smoker temps are low( 160 and lower) (feel free to correct me) that is considered drying and not cooking. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Anyone tried refridgerating their smoker?

    I agree that it would not be a great long term solution, but rather a quick hook up with flexible duct to cool off the smoker. Maybe for doing like a two hour cheese smoke or something. I would guess that it should keep up. May be more difficult to get the smoker below 40 for doing cold smokes...
