    Pepperoni Sticks 1st

    Couple of questions from a newbie. What ground beef did you intend to use - 80/20 or 90/10? Are they significantly better than the mass produced Slim guy ones? Did you use a meat probe to detirmine the meat temps (are they effective in such a skinny sausage)? LOOKS TERRIFIC! THANKS! **EDIT*...

    My smoker setup...

    I have the bend so I get my own liquid smoke from the condensation that collects at the bottom for use in other stuff or weeknight cooking. The temp inside the box is always at or below ambient temp. I would like to build a better one, I just need to keep it portable and easily stored. The queen...

    My smoker setup...

    I really doubt that it is food safe, but the food never touches the plastic, and the temp never gets hot.

    Prime Sirloin Jerky

    WOW Looks great. I never considered Prime meat for jerky. I will have to visit Costco today. Did you use a slicer for the meat?

    Slicer or Knife

    Hi Bacon Maniacs! I just finished smoking my second attempt at bacon (pics to follow on a different post). My first was simply cured with salt, sugar and spices - no pink salt. This time around I used the Hi Mountain BBB mix on a belly and cold smoked it with Apple. When all said and done, do...
