    17lbs of Kielbasa w/QVIEW

    Well, this afternoon I ground up 17lbs of pork butt, seasoned via Rytek Kutas' recipe (plus a little more garlic and pepper), and stuffed it all into 38mm natural hog casings. We'll see how they are after I put smoke on them. I think I may have stuffed a bit too much, so I'm worried about...

    99 cent "whole pork butts" at Kroger

    Just saw it in the flyer in the mail yesterday. Don't know if the sale has already started or not, but time to stock up. I typically don't shop at Kroger at all, but cryo'd (assuming) pork butts are pretty much the same everywhere (at least in my experience).

    Going to pick up a couple pork shoulders and make some more variations of buckboard bacon. Going to do a couple varieties, going to add maple syrup to one, coarse black pepper to another. Any suggestions for other variations? And as a bonus, our local market has great looking shoulders for...

    chefs choice 615, 610 or 609 food pusher part(needed)

    if anyone has a broken 609 or 610 or 615 and isn't going to get it fixed (or if you're a hoarder like me and may have one kicking around), could I bother you to keep the food pusher?

    Dreaded stall has me up late...

    Decided early afternoon to smoke a smallish butt I had defrosted. 6.8lbs.... 10.5 hours later I'm at 165, it was stalled at 160 for a long, long, long time. Looks like its needing a few more hours, so looks like I'm pulling a late one. Doesn't help that my wife is back in the hospital, so I'm...

    Smoking Kielbasa and Snack Stix

    This weekend will be my first foray into smoking sausages. I have made fresh kielbasa since I was a kid, and have been smoking meats for a while, but my wife likes smoked sausage and not fresh, so here we go. I have a masterbuilt xl smoker, which I can't get down to the 140deg start temp like a...

    Finally... Shoulders on sale 1.29....

    At our local spartan grocer. Not too bad. Been looking for a long time. Probably pick up 4 or 6, depending what I'm feeling like. Also have turkey drumsticks for .99/lb, so I just have to pick some of those up also. If it ever thaws up over here in Michigan, I'll have some pulled pork...

    Soot on fish

    I've smoked fish several times now, and very time I have the two top racks of my master built xl full. The final product is delicious but they end up with a thin layer of gray/black soot. It wipes off, but its unsightly and I'd rather not have to do so... Any pointers to keep soot down...

    Rotisserie Whole Lamb on a Spit

    I know its not "smoked" really, but I am hosting orthodox easter, and bought a whole lamb roaster (think big rotisserie/small open air pig roaster). The lamb has been reserved and will be between 20-25lbs after slaughter/gutting. Anyone ever do this before with some pointers? Just want to...

    Freezing/Storage Life

    Assuming that you hot smoked and reached 152-155 internal on a beef/pork kielbasa/sausage, how long will it be safe and maintain flavor frozen? I'm thinking of making a rather large batch, but if its not stable for too long I'm going to make a much smaller batch as I don't want any to go to...

    Pellet or Dust A-Maze-N-Smoker in Masterbuilt XL

    Looking to get one or the other, as I have had a couple instances where my wood would ignite using the stock system (luckily i have a warning on my temp alarm that alerts me), and am going to look at this as a "fix" so the propane is simply there to hold temp and give me the option of running a...
