    A pig's (nose to) tale: cold smoked sausages

    Smoked some chicken breasts for New Years

    Sweet Baby Rays is a great sauce if you can find it where you live. I usually smoke my chicken at a higher temp than I do my pork and beef.  I like 300* for chicken.

    jalapano and cheese venison sticks

    Danny,  When I make my sticks I used 80% deer and 20% fat.  For my fat I just used Jimmie Dean original ground sausage.  I know that Jimmie Dean is not pure fat so the ratio ends up being a little higher than 80% meat and 20% fat but I have had good results.  The flavor is also improved by...

    Well I couldn't find ground Italian sausage like I wanted so I had to use beef.  I wove the bacon and seasoned the beef with Cavenders all purpose greek seasoning.  Then I stuffed the fatties with pizza sauce pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, and mozzarella. It turned out a great product...

    snack stick cooking problem

    Hey guys quick question, I had snack sticks on my pit this morning smoking and a cold front started coming through with about 35 MPH winds. I couldn't keep my pit hot as the wind was stealing all the heat even with the fire box damper all the way open. The sticks had smoked for 2 hours at 150F...
