    Barbeque that had both wood and gas

    More info please. Several offsets are available with gas assist as are some commercial smokers. Smoke Hollow and others make little upright smokers that run on propane and use wood chips for smoke.

    A question for Haggis stuffers

    We cater some local Scottish festivals and I have a pretty good faux Haggis recipe. So far I have just put it on the pellet grill and cooked in a pot for several hours, but now I'm thinking about stuffing it. The traditional method would be to boil it for 4 hours, then stuff but I think it would...

    Bearcarver's snack sticks, modified

    Thanks Dave. I did grind the fat through the finest plate I have but the venison was already ground so I didn't run it through again. I'm hoping Santa will bring me a meat mixer for Christmas ;) I read on another forum that brisket fat just doesn't work well, so I may use pork fat next time. But...

    Bearcarver's snack sticks, modified

    I started with 4# ground venison and 3/4 beef fat from brisket trimmings, which was probably the wrong fat to use, but I did. Used Bearcarver's recipe except I increased the red pepper to 1/2 Tblsp and added 1/2 Tblsp of Chipolte Tabasco. Used a jerky shooter to make the sticks, placed on frog...

    looking for a very mild snack stick/slim jim/pepperette recipe

    Let us know. I increased the red pepper to 1/2 Tablespoon and added another 1/2 Tablespoon of Chipotle tabasco to the first batch. By the time those were smoked I had about 2# left and added a tsp of Sriracha. Those will get smoked tonight so we'll see. At least we get to ear our experiments!

    looking for a very mild snack stick/slim jim/pepperette recipe

    I used this one: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/95395/unstuffed-smoked-beef-pepperoni-sticks-with-qview I added heat to the base recipe and still thought it was on the mild side so by the recipe it should fit the bill.

    The answer to the question: "How much meat can you put into a 22.5" WSM?"

    Most impressive indeed! I've had 8 butts in mine a few times but I don't think I would have even tried to do as much meat as you have in yours!

    Looking for suggestions

    I would just pick up a case of flats at Sam's. Not much waste flats and you should have extras that you can cook later or cook and freeze for later use. I think it runs just over $3 a pound around here

    Can't remember, please help.

    Not that I recommend doing it this way, BUT; the American Indian dried venison and buffalo with nothing more than the sun if I remember my history correctly. Early settlers just used a salt cure. On the other hand, I think our stomachs are a lot more sensitive than they were then.

    Define "a lot" Around here select or even choice brisket is as cheap or cheaper than most other cuts.
