    Trail Bologna - Question

    Based on the picture of your ice bath I would say it was the reason for the casing to stick. Next time toss the bologna into an ice chest full of ice water so they are submerged for 20 minutes. Then hang them for a couple hours to bloom and then place in fridge.

    Smoked trout basics

    In the past I have just filleted the fish and sprinkled seasoned salt and pepper and garlic powder and smoked with alder. Didn't get any complaints and you can season a few differently for experimental purposes

    Starting tomato seed

    I spoke with the UC Davis Professor about it and he said that the clear plastic provides more heat like a magnifying glass vs the black . I too thought that the black would work better but the info I got from him and the computer contradicted that ?? I have an area in my garden that has root...

    Starting tomato seed

    You mentioned black plastic to cover the soil for heat . I think you will be better off using clear plastic for this purpose ! It's called solarization and you want to do it at the heat of summer for at least 6 weeks, Google it for an explanation !

    Starting tomato seed

    I start mine in January in 6 packs that I place on a Hot bed of fresh horse manure with a cold frame over them . The heat from the manure really helps with germination . I am in zone 9 so. that helps too . How early you get a tomato also depends on variety . Some mature sooner than others...

Nice to know ahead of time about adding more mix vs weight of meat or just extra spice for more flavor. Seems to be a...

    Different diameter sausage in the smoker

    Well I should have thought about this before starting the smoker but here's what I learned . Next time I have 1 odd ball larger casing mixed in with the ring bologna I will place the PID IT probe into the large casing and when it reaches 153 the 43mm casing will be slightly higher but it won't...
