    Smoking Fresh Sausage Help

    +1 on the Warden. If it is truly a fresh sausage mix without any cure, they should be either frozen right away or cooked/grilled/boiled. No more than 1-2 days in the fridge before doing one of the above.

    Smoking Chicken

    I always brine them, and leave the skin on. Before smoking, I spatchcock the birds and remove the keel bone so they lay flat, as they cook more quickly and evenly that way. I also make up a nice compound butter, and slather it between skin and flesh and up into the wing and thigh areas.

    Plane Flew into Office Building in Texas MAD @ the IRS

    I twas thought until recently that the pilot was the sole fatality. Now it seems that they have found two bodies in the remnants of the fire. A sad day. Having read his manifesto/suicide note, I can understand his frustration, but it's unfortunate his demons led to this way out.

    New to Smoking from Chandler (PHX)

    Howdy and welcome to SMF! Chandler High is my alma mater - my how things change in 30 years! You should be able to find answers to all your smoking questions from one or more of the great folks on this board. Probably not me though, as sometimes it seems like I'm riding the short bus to BBQ...

    homemade stuffer tube for 19mm casings

    Judging form the nut, I'd say it's either a Chop-Rite or Enterprise (same thing) stuffer. What a great idea! How did you flare the PEX? I only have one old bent aluminum tube for my Chop-Rite, and the want too much for the new ones. On the plastic ones I bought, the plastic flange is too...

    Who uses Rib Racks?

    I can't claim to be the one that thought of this, but what an idea! Click on the pic for a linky. It is all stainless, articulated to adjust the spacing and best of all it is only $5.00! In real life it is designed as a pot lid holder from Ikea, item number 701.548.00. I haven't had the...

    Great experience with MES customer service

    I have one of each (among others) and they both work great, I just use them for different things most of the time. Is the top damper open full? What temp are you running? I usually smoke above 200, and my 30" MES produces nice TBS. I buy the bags of wood chips from Wal*^@#$, mesquite...

    Valentine's Day "Refill"

    We were out of my sweetie's favorite smoked delight, so that's what I made her for Valentine's Day. Here it is, nine lbs. of Buckboard Bacon - eight in vac-packs and one in a Zip bag for immediate consumption!

    MES - Need More Smoke

    Assuming your MES is in fact working as advertised, it pretty much comes down to temperature, air flow or fuel. What temperature are you smoking at; what sized wood pieces are you using, and is the top vent open all the way?

    Anybody tried Pancetta?

    Nice looking roll! But more importantly, is that a worn box set of "For the Last time - Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys" in your stack o' wax? What a great set!

    'American Chopper' Canceled

    Vinny was the classy high spot on that series. Cody was smart and kept his mouth shut. Rick succumbed to Sr. and that was all she wrote.

    Dang Nazis are at it again

    Actually I work from home often, and I do the reverse of this to run my desktop in the office from my home. If you have a good broadband connection, you'll never notice the lag.

    you think you got troubles????

    Google "Termidor". Quite expensive but it works for years, and can take out the colony outside as well. Also one of the few things that works on Carpenter ants.

    Last Episode Of BBQ Pit Masters Tonight

    I think that this was the best episode ever. I would have loved to have heard some of the comments about how it was presented, without garnish and on a board! That must have made making up their "boxes" pretty interesting.

    Chicken Myronnaise

    People gain inspiration for new dishes from many sources, and sometimes they aren't sure where it comes from. I must think about cooking all the time, because this one came to me in the shower! The name comes from two sources - Myron Mixon, a master of the muffin tins for his competition...
