    Bad texture on elk/pork summer sausage

    I agree 24 hrs isnt right!  Was ther any gel or white gel at bottoms of casings if you hung them?  Or were the bottom in or 2 wrinkled and hard?

    What cheese to add to sausages?

    Ive used lots of home smoked cheese never had a problem!  I would suggest that the smaller the chunks the better it will mix in!  Just keep the smoker temp under 175!

    vension snack sticks help

    Cheese should be added at no more than 10%!  Thats also what i use for rule of thumb on peppers to!  If u keep ur smoker temp under 175 u can use regular cheese!  For snack stix if u use the high temp pulse it thru a mini food chopper a few times to break it up!

    Brisket Q-view. Need tips

    From looking at your pics my thoughts are that there's no fat to keep the meat moist!  Plus it could be from uncovering and cooking another couple of hours!  Do u have any pics from before you seasoned it?

    Using a turkey roaster for a hot water bath. Questions?

    I would assume so!  But i would do some practice runs getting it to temp!  Mark on dial where 180 degrees is!  Don't just take for grant 175 degrees on the dial is right!

    Using a turkey roaster for a hot water bath. Questions?

    I have never used a slow cooker would think it would take a long time to get up to temp!!  Have used a electric roaster alot!!  Usually use it when in a hurry seems to go faster!  As far as taste never been able to tell diference but im sure some could!
