    My first summer sausage

    80/20 beef to pork. I estimate about 90% lean. gas vertical smoker at 200 (lowest it would go) for just over 2 hours until internal temp was 155. Sausage came out good. My taste testers at work keep asking for more. Only issue is that it is not hard like it should be. Atually able to squeeze it...

    Making smoked lox in the summer heat?

    Sorry I didn't get back sooner with the results. I passed on the smoker. I have to say I will never buy the stuff again. Even my neighbor the chef approved. I got the salmon at BJ's and cured with 50/50 salt and sugar. I used sugar in the raw as that is what I have. Two days and then several...

    Making smoked lox in the summer heat?

    Sorry, I should have said that I have a vertical smoker. No mods like the mailbox. I can do bags of ice, but will that be enough? I can freeze ziplock bags to make ice blocks.

    Making smoked lox in the summer heat?

    I want to try my hand at both lox and nova. But since nova is cold smoked, do I have any other options in the 90+ heat we are getting in south Florida? How much difference will it make in the finished product if I hot smoke it? Or should I force myself to wait until November when it really cools...

    Propane smokers use a lot of wood, so ... .

    I know this is an old thread, but I just came across it. I have the amazn tray and tube. I use the tray for cold smoke in my vertical gas smoker with no flame in the wood box.

    First try at smoking cheese

    Just pulled the cheese. I don't think I will use my regular grill for this again. Should have used the vertical smoker. I don't think there was enough air flow in the grill. A little melting of a few pieces from being to close to the pellets. Oh well. Cheddar on the left.

    First try at smoking cheese

    One hour in and this is all the pellets have "burnt" for lack of a better term. I would have thought that more would have by now. I moved it to the middle of the grill and lit the other end.

    First try at smoking cheese

    72 degrees outside grey clouds and light rain off and on. Front to back mild cheddar, Montery jack and colby. Apple pellets in the Amazn. 3 frozen water bottles in a zip lock bag to help keep cooler. I will pull some at 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours.

    Possible start for cold smoker

    Does this look like it could be easily converted into a cold smoker? I am thinking mailbox on the bottom with a long dryer hose up to the top. Thanks http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/zip/5894789055.html

    Another Pastrami from Corn Beef = Reuben

    I know about the IT, but was just curious about the time in the smoker. I understand it will vary from smoker to smoker, etc. Just to try to plan and schedule. thanks.
