    making jerky. want to be sure it is safe

    you will get varying opinions on this....and, quite frankly, it depends most on how you intend to store it.....if it even HAS to be stored. Jerky around here doesn't last very long... Introducing cure to the meat is mostly for when it will be at less than ideal temps for any length of time...

    Browing Smoked Pork Loin

    Rich.....glad to have met you in chat tonight. The more I think about it....if you are doing a boneless pork loin roast.....and want a nice brown crust.....and your smoker works at higher temps....you might want to do it low....say, 200, with smoke for a short time (30 minutes???) to allow some...

    What is Cool Smoke

    I cold smoked some buckboard bacon in my ecb by using an electric hotplate....not something I would recommend trying on a warmer day. I was able to keep temps in the 95-105* range and had very thin smoke with the apple chips I was using. Something like Richtee's "ecb squared" might work even...

    Tired of my ecb want NEW

    I've done Iowa chops on my ecb, and yes, you can get a probe in them...I usually go by sight and touch tho.....if they look good, and don't feel tough or dried out, they're ready.....had several years in a restaurant that helped teach me that trick tho. A 1 1/4" chop should give you enough...

    Bacony-goodness ABTs

    Looks fantastic, Laurel!! One other thing you can do, per Walking Dude's instructions, is to partially cook your bacon....maybe a minute per side.....you'll get crispier bacon without withering away the japs. NICE JOB!!! L8r, Eric

    New addition to the family

    Nice line-up, Mark! I hate to admit it, but, I agree with Steve....the gourmet is easier to use, and just as portable. I'm sure you'll do just fine with your ecb, though... Get that puppy broke in and show us some qview already!....lol L8r, Eric

    Having issues with temps at end of loooong cooks

    I can't find the link now, but, I remember seeing posts where peeps made charcoal baskets out of expanded metal that fit inside the fire box.....some were suspended on angle iron....others done some way or another.....but the end result was the same......better temp control and fewer ash...
