    St. Louis cut ribs and bakers on the Lang smoker

    Yep, like the old saying, "Arizona in the summer, for the hell of it!" I tolerate it better than most, so I have the grill and smoker going year round. What doesn't kill ya makes you stronger! Either that or no brain, no pain on my part, hahaha! Gilbert is a very nice part of the valley!

    St. Louis cut ribs and bakers on the Lang smoker

    I didn't season them very heavy and the salt level was perfect. We don't care for too much salt either, especially my wife, and she thought they were great. So if you still have some Meat Church seasoning, give it another try. with these ribs, I went with Honey Hog on the back side, and Holy...

    Jalapeño Cheddar sausage

    Jalapeño Cheddar sausage using the recipe shown on Meat Church from Dayne Weaver of Dayne's Craft BBQ. The wife and I both have a low tolerance for spicy heat, so I just cut out the jalapeño powder and I seeded and de-ribbed the fresh Jalapeños. The result was exactly what I hoped it would be. I...

    Stuffer/Equipment issues

    If you can find an old fashioned cast iron stuffer, they don't have gaskets, just a snug fitting cast iron plate. That's what I've been using for 45+ years. Every once in awhile I consider upgrading to one of the modern stuffers, and the thought of dealing with potential o-ring issues stops me...

    using pickling spices in a sausage recipe

    It's your choice. I made Ethan Chlebowski's recipe which does not call for grinding them and it was excellent. If I make his recipe again I would consider grinding them, just to change it up. It's all good, and it all beats what the stores sell. So many sausage recipes and so little time!

    Newbie from Scottsdale, AZ. As a kid in the 60's I helped my dad build a smoker from a 35 gal. metal soap barrel, and I've been smoking and BBQ'ing ever since. I inherited that old smoker and used it well into the 90's. This is an impressive forums site, what a huge community! A wealth of...

    Texas Red Hots

    I'm with you that still looks like a lot of heat for my taste. Other than that it looks like a good recipe.

    Any beef tallow makers out there?

    That is water that is still in it. Render it a second time to evaporate that or it will mold if left in there.

    Sausage fat ratio

    If it's 5 lbs total fat and meat(4+1), then it is 20% fat. The fat is 25% of the meat only, but 20% of the combined weight.
