    other culinary pursuits

    I really enjoy making fresh sausage, have been doing it for a few years. I always like hearing "you made this" ? I did make some smoked snack sticks and summer sausage that turned out pretty good.

    Best way to prepare Venison Back Straps?

    I agree with mballi, keep it simple and be careful not to overcook them. For some reason i find back straps tend to cook pretty fast. I use a fillet knife to remove the white stuff you are talking about. If you have two you may want to smoke one and grill one. on the grill I cut them into...

    Rattle Snake

    As said above they are great exterminators. I had a 5-6 foot rattler 7 inches in diameter (same as a pop can) in my driveway in Kentucky. Once I got over the smell of skinning it out I was not up to figuring out the best way to cook it. The meat did not seem to smell but oh boy did...

    Smoked sausage cure time ??

    I will try to dig out "the book" and see if there is a official answer. I have always mix all ingrediants and let them rest over night more for flavor than cure. I also thinks it stuffs a little better as well.

    morels!

    Violator, not sure where you are in Illinois, but up north I think its just a little too early, Once they start they usually run for a few months if conditions are perfect. I usually go during turkey season in Kentucky, and have not found any good places around me to find them.

    A question about duck

    I cooked a couple a while back I did not do anything special, spritzed them every so often I usually run my smoker about 200-225. I will try to find my notes, but I think I took them to around 175 so they did not dry out. (minimal internal is 165) keep spritzing and watch your internal it...

    wire basket ?

    I am not positive it is still done today, but I think it use to be copper. Copper would stick real well to steel and chrome would stick real well to copper. Not sure if they still do it today or not. Funny I was thinking about this the other day. I have some of those wire shelves at my shop...

    Help with Maverick ET #73

    I would trust the Mav, was the lid therm the one that came with the unit? If so I would just throw it away, then you end the second guessing. I was in a store once looking at floor models and there was not one that was in 10 degrees of room temp

    Help with Maverick ET #73

    The best way to test them is in boiling water. I test mine one at a time. Test your lid temp as well, most of them are way way way off.
