    Old guys showing us how its done

    I don't know where to start with the points, the smoke shed, the water stuffer, or learning from the old timers. I think your persistance for getting them to show you how they do it by far the best way to learn. They don't write that kind of stuff in books. It is great to have some great...

    sausage seasonings

    My thought process would be to use fresh garlic, and almost double the spices. You can start off by adding an extra teaspoon or so of each. Are you letting the meat set up in the fridge for a day or so? Do a taste test if you add too much spice, add more meat to even it out. The big...

    Smoke Daddy or Smoke Pistol?

    Not sure about the smoke times, I have a home built unit that sort of resembles a smoke daddy. I can burn pellets, chips or large chunks. I have an adjustable air supply and tend to run it pretty high. The more air, the more smoke. You do need to clean out the pipe that feeds into the...
