    First Kielbasa w/ Qview

    I made my first batch of Kielbasa yesterday--a 12 hour project start to finish. I cut up 9lbs of pork butt and added 1lb ground chuck to make up the difference for a 10lb batch. After grinding, mixing and stuffing, I finally got the sausages into the smoker to dry by 9:30pm. Because of the wind...

    Homemade Kielbasa with Recipe (Corrected 06/04/2012)

    Very nice! I've got my own 10lb batch (not this recipe) drying in the smoker right now. But I think I'll be giving this one a try in the near future.

    Keilbasa Cure Question

    Thanks guys. I know the difference between Cure #1 and #2. I was just curious as to why he may have used #2 instead of #1. I wasn't going to use #2 (as I had mentioned in the OP) in my batch.

    Keilbasa Cure Question

    I hope I am posting this in the right place since it is about cures. Ok. I have a 5oz bag of Polish Sausage Seasoning from Sausagemaker.com ( http://www.sausagemaker.com/91120-10polishsausageseasoningmakes10lbs.aspx ). It does say to use Cure #1 -- which I have and plan to use. I saw a youtube...

    Smoke Daddy or A-Maze-N smoker???

    I got the AMNPS and used it for the first time last week with my MES 30 on a pork butt. It worked well but it went through the pellets within 7-8 hours--but that can be on account of the high winds and I kept futzing with the chip loader, so there was just a bit too much air circulating in...

    Waking Up To a Nice Butt (QView to come later!)

    Got up at 7am to get the MES 30 warmed up. Got the butt in about 7:30. Now it's back to bed to get up in a few hours for work. I got my AMNPS in the mail yesterday (super fast shipping!) along with a bag of Oak and a bag of Pitmaster pellets. Last night, I gave it a dry burn in the smoker (as...

    1st attempt at smoking led to Butt troubles

    Glad everything turned out fine. I, too, have an MES 30 and was afraid the stock meat probe was off so I picked up a digital remote one from Lowes. Lo and behold, the MES themometer was on (also checked against an old fashioned dial type therm). I'll be up bright and early later (7am) to get my...

    Cured Belly Bacon Color Question

    Thanks. I was getting worried because I went through the posts with Qviews and most still had a reddish/pinkish color, maybe a light grey after curing. I will say again, the fry test was promising. My dad wanted me to leave one of the slabs out for him to cook up tomorrow morning and he wanted...
