    Eye of round Pastrami, mucho q-view!!

    SmokinAl, I am going to start this recipe this weekend. Questions, you used raw sugar. Can I use brown sugar? Is there a difference? Also after I inject and put into the brine how do I know how long to soak? Is there a table I need to refer to? I think this is gonna be stellar!

    Pork chop question

    I want to make up some smoked pork chops. I tried smoking some a couple years back and they were terrible. We recently purchased some smoked chops from a store. These were very tasty. They taste somewhat like ham. My question is how do you get the chop to taste like this. Do I just use a normal...

    Combustion fan

    I emailed GMG on Monday morning. Withing a couple hours they called me back. I explained the situation and they have the new part coming along with a gift for my troubles. I will say I was very happy with the fast response from the company. Hopefully all works out and the grill gets some use...

    Combustion fan

    I purchased a Green Mountain Grill Jim Bowie Friday. I got it home, assembled and went to do the initial burn. The grill took about 30 minutes to come up to 150. I couldn't get the grill past 160. I shut it down and found that the fire box was overfilled with pellets. I cleaned everything out...

    Did I ruin the butt?

    Long story short, I put a butt on last night. Had the weber at 250 and fell asleep around midnight. I woke up around 5:00 and charcoal had burned out. Temp on the butt was 135. Got the heat going again and finished the cook at a temp of 205. The meat temp was in the low 100's when I fell asleep...

    My 1st baby backs on kettle

    On Sunday I prepped two racks of baby back ribs for my maiden voyage of smoking with a weber kettle. I have always used a gas smoker until this point and would say I was very pleased with how easy it was to maintain my temp using charcoal and hickory chunks. I also used the "smokenator", which...

    CrankyBuzzards Swedish Sausage

    When I was younger I worked at a small grocery store in the meat department. Every year around Christmas an older gentleman, who worked part time as a meat cutter would come in and make a batch of potato sausage. I have been looking for a good recipe to try. I stumbled across this thread and...

    Bratwurst casing cracked?

    Here is the quick run down of how I did things, I cut up a 5# shoulder and chilled in freezer to make the chunks fairly solid. I ran the meat through a medium plate (northern tools #12 grinder). I chilled the meat again and ran it through the fine plate in the grinder. I then added my spices (a...

    Bratwurst casing cracked?

    Hello, I made a batch of bratwurst last night and threw them on the grill for dinner. All of the casings split on them once on the grill. The casings used were a hog casing and the package said they are to be used for items to include brats. I am checking to see what causes this. This was my...

    Meat grinder or sausage stuffer?

    I am looking into purchasing a meat grinder or a sausage stuffer. I question what would be better to purchase first, the grinder or the stuffer? I am looking at LEM grinders and it appears that they also have sausage stuffer attachments, however they cost more up front than just the stuffer...

    Smoked Salmon Candy w/ Qview

    Great recipe! I just got making a couple pounds of this today. My only regret was not making more. Man is it good! I used my AMNPS and cold smoked for about 2 hours before turning the heat to 150. It took a little over an hour to bring the fish to 135. Once again thanks for the story and recipe.
