Just curious, is there any problem with doing a fry test on pancetta before drying with cure #2 (in the proper proportions)? I don't have a hangup with nitrites or nitrates, just kinda wondering about any safety issues. On a side note, would it hurt to consume normal quantities of meat with...

If someone gets something for free, but it's not exactly what was said they would get, should it be brought up to the owner? Say I won a pound of Chicken but I got a pound of beef. But I was expecting chicken. Should I just shut up and take what was given to me free? Just curious.

Can I freeze ground pork for sausage? In other words, can I store it ground and add whatever seasonings later, as well as stuff it? How would you freeze it? I have a vac sealer. How long will it keep, if frozen correctly?

I posted something here..... Now it seems to be gone. Anybody seen a post about freezing ground pork by me?

Making some summer sausage for the in-laws. They like spicy things, I don't. Any ideas on how much cayenne pepper to add per pound? They like it HOT, but don't wanna hurt them either. They do like to sweat a little from the heat too. Thanks!

OK, everybody in the house except me doesn't like casing on their sausage. To tough, source, etc. So, can I basically make any sausage caseless? Is it even possible to form links or am I stuck in patty land? Can I put a case on and strip before eating? And don't try to talk me (them) into...

What's up with pork prices? At my local store butts were $3.59 a pound!!!!! They want about $30 for an average butt!!! I won't be doing much pork at THOSE prices! Any idea what's going on or when things will get back to normal? My smokin' days may be short at these prices....

My pastrami turned out great!! Now on to some pork butts for pullin'. I've done a LOT of pork butts on my smoker, Short Brinkmann electric. Works great for me. I've done as many as 4 at once. I've done AT LEAST a hundred butts in the ~10 years I've been smoking. We love 'em!! Anyway, picked up...

First time attempting pastrami. Local County Market had corned beef on sale for $.99/LB! Couldn't pass it up. Had only rounds left though.  Here's what I have to work with: Brinkmann Smoke & Grill smoker. Have a controller to control temps.  Plan on using pecan wood chunks to smoke, thinking...

Howdy all! Just registered, been reading for a while now. Lurking I guess you call it. Anyway, been smokin' for about 10 years, grillin' all my life (52 years). OK, maybe not all, but most of my life. As to equipment, my in-laws bought me a Brinkmann Smoke & Grill. Electric. I like the "set and...
