    The Science of Salami

    A lot has been written in the area of how the oxidation of lipids impacts food. Makes one wonder how several hundred years ago folks figured out what type of fat made salami taste good.

    recipe for North Carolina sausage (not smoked)

    Bass sausage is another local maker. Good flavor a bit salty for me. One local producer near Washington made a spicy breakfast sausage that was a local favorite. Place closed and sold recipes to someone, now not quite the same taste. Acre Station east of Washington also does sausage. Any chance...

    Cookshack Amerique SM066

    Great insight from OS. Also don't look for a smoke ring. Can be done but not worth the effort IMO. One can add charcoal to the wood box for smoke ring affect - works but PITA.

    Cookshack Amerique SM066

    Own a SM 160. Purchased used. For me it cooks/smokes great. Like any smoker you have to learn it. Regarding the SM066 price - depending on condition and year will set the price. Beware Cookshack parts are pricey- so if the controller is bad it is major dollars. If you can see it operate and...

    Thoughts and prayers for those affected by derecho storm in midwest

    Prayers and speedy recovery for all. Live in eastern NC. Have experienced the devastating effects of hurricanes and the loss of a home. Have witnessed the adjacent farms loose crops. Sad to experience. A shame media coverage is so poor of a devastating event like this. Has FEMA responded?

    Which rack to use on vertical smoker ?

    If you have a middle rack/setting you might start there. Depending on flow in/out of cooker temperatures can vary. Consider doing a temperature profile of cooker. Measure temperature at each rack with an accurate temperature probe. Takes time but worth the effort.
