    Another Small Stick Batch

    I know you asked per pound, you really need to weight cure on a good set of scales with 1/100th of a gram resolution. 1.13 grams per pound is for cure #1. But for larger batches measure by volume will work just fine. A decent gram scale with that level of accuracy and a calibration weight is...

    Jerky process and colour

    Also what sort of scale did you use to measure? Some are more accurate than others. I highly recommend a gram scale that has 0.01 (1/100th) of a gram resolution. There are several on Amazon for $20-25 range. Other scales can be off by 2 or 3 grams and that can make a huge difference. I know...

    Smoking Gun GB jerky in the LEM dehydrator

    Well, I'm out of sticks and jerky so you know what that means. Time to make some more. Going with ground beef jerky today. Using a tad over 5 pounds of 90/10 from Sam's Club and will be using the jerky gun I got for $15 when the local Gander Mountain closed as my extrusion method. Recipe is...

    MES custom SS model - mods & pic heavy

    Andy, Sorry it took me so long to reply. I must have missed your question. I bought it from Lowe's. It was a replacement for one of their store brand made grills. However I've seen in another thread where they have discontinued that model and all back stock is gone. My advise would be to...

    Snack Stick/Summer Sausage smoker

    I do mine in a highly modified MES30 that is now a PID controlled smoker. Pellet tray for smoke source. I've also used a 18.5" WSM with small quantities of charcoal prior to that, but most of the snack stick smokers (the ones made for sticks and sausage) are electric for the heat source because...

    Lang owners, what should I know?

    What about a U-Haul trailer? We rented one at the office a while back to pick up a golf cart from Florida and they only charged by the day for that. Of course you need to have something to tow a trailer with. The U-Haul trailer we rented was pretty low to the ground. Made pushing a golf cart...

    Sodium TriPolyPhosphate

    I use it in all my sticks, GB jerky and sausage now. It helps with the texture and I can tell a huge difference vs without. I run it at the recommended rate and either use B&P #414 or AmesPhos brands.

    Smoked Beard Oil

    My daughter turned me on to beard oil and balm last fall. Been using it regurlarly ever since. Makes a huge difference in the softness and texture of my beard. I'm using oil, balm and wax from "Badassbeardcare.com" I bought one of their 8 flavor trail kits and my favorite is "The Biker"...

    new pellet from Pit Boss Whiskey Still style

    I've been trying to snag one of the Copperhead 5 smokers for about a month now. Always seem to be just a tad late on the $109 deals. I sure wish I could find one. I've seen several smokes in other forums and the results look outstanding on these (especially for the $109 price). There has even...

    NEW AIR FRYER

    We bought a 2nd one recently. I bought the Air Fryer Elite Oven with the 3 racks, basket, rotiserre, skewers, etc.... I was slow to get on the air fryer thing and bought small 2.6 liter model last February. I used the thing dang near every day. Great for "frying" my sausage patties for...

    5# Stuffer 79.99 Northern tool

    Wow. I've never heard of anyone stripping out the metal gears on the old style frame before. I have the white plastic/nylon gears and have stuffed down to 15mm casings with mine using a 10mm tube. The key is go very slow. The weak point in mine would appear to be the white plastic/nylon...

    Snack Stix for a Maiden Voyage...

    Way to much fat in bacon. Trimmed BBB would be better, but I don't know if I've ever heard of anyone doing this and I'm not sure what the flavor would be or what spice mix/recipe to recommend for the same reason. If you do it, let us know what you did and how it worked (or even if it didn't).

    Snack Sticks - AC Legg 116 base with modifications

    My bulk scale is a UltraShip 55 with a max weight capability of 55 pounds. It seems to work great and I can tare out the weight of even my stainless mixing bowls. The precision gram scale I use is a American Weigh Scalemate SM-501. For a precision scale you need one that will display 0.01...

    Snack sticks - a method question (and new idea)

    My logic is based on the thin size of the meat, 1 hour at 152* from a reasonable starting temp after smoking most of the way, should ensure 152* internal stick temp. 2 hours is good for a nice thick steak so it should be plenty for a skinny stick. I picked up some 80/20 beef to run a 5 lb...
