    Christmas Plans

    Smoking a spatchcocked turkey on the Kamado Joe for the first time this year. Looking forward to it. May do a rib roast later in the week as well. Merry Christmas to all of you.

    MES in freezing temps

    Update: Had zero issues. Didn't even get the welding blanket. MES came right up to temp and held the entire cook. Obviously lost temp when I had to open and swap racks, but came right back after closing the door. Probably cost me some time overall, but no big deal. Auber PID is awesome.

    Snack Sticks: Lessons learned

    Good thoughts guys. I'm pretty sure my measurements were on point, but I'm intrigued by the cure suggestion. I also think I'll try to go a little heavier on beef next time to see if that changes things. I also may just be letting my OCD get the best of me. No complaints or comments about texture...

    Snack Sticks: Lessons learned

    I am fairly new to sausage making (2 years in) and just finished my 3rd or 4th batch of snack sticks. I've learned a couple things that I thought may be helpful to other newbies. Of course there is more to these tricks to making good snack sticks, but sometimes it's a few small details that make...

    Snack sticks on racks

    Update: Turned out just fine. I actually will probably do them the same way in the future. My best sticks yet.

    Snack sticks on racks

    Thanks for the help. I knew I should have tied. Got lazy.

    Snack sticks on racks

    Doing a batch of snack sticks. I typically hang them in my MES but trying racks this time. I think I can fit more in the smoker. I cut them to length and placed on racks. Is this meat oozing out of the end going to be ok or should I have tied them?

    MES in freezing temps

    Anyone have any issues with an MES maintaining temp in below freezing temps? Thinking about smoking some sausage tomorrow but temp will be single digits outside. I have an auber pid by the way.

    Refrigerated Beef

    Sounds good. I think I’ll bring and mix this evening. Thanks!

    Refrigerated Beef

    So you think I’m better off getting it mixed up today and resting in refrigerator for a day or two rather than back in the freezer or no real difference given the salt factor?

    Refrigerated Beef

    Think I should do the smell test and get it ground, seasoned with cure and then rest in the refrigerator a couple days OR put back in freezer then mix say tomorrow or Monday?

    Refrigerated Beef

    Got it. Not vac sealed. I popped it back in the freezer and I’ll smell it tomorrow when I plan to grind.

    Refrigerated Beef

    I’m planning to make some sausage and have a thawed chuck roast and pork butt in the refrigerator. Been in there for about 6 days. How long is the meat safe to use? Getting very cold here so I may not make the sausage for a couple more days.

    Making your own sausages?

    that's what I was trying to find. I didn't know what it was called, but i knew there had to be something before the chuck roast. As you said, once the Butcher's knife touches it the cost goes up. Thanks!
