    Q 4 Masterbuilt 30" Gen2 Owners

    If they were nice at masterbuilt, they'd install a small burner under the chip pan.  Anyone prelight chips before dropping into pan? As in, torch the chips while in the insertion tube? When it warms up outside I'll try it.  I'm wondering if the chips are self smoldering once they get to a...

    When hot smoking, final temp where it can be eaten right away but not render fat?

    I seen many posting all over the internet basically using all the variables I've seen in this post, found an amazing range of what is considered safe finishing temps in various countries, it boggles the mind!  First and foremost to me is fresh meat, clean work surfaces and tools, keep it all...

    When hot smoking, final temp where it can be eaten right away but not render fat?

    I'm confused about this, When hot smoking cured sausage, Is it cooking to be eaten when taken out at 160F or is removing it at that temperature mean it will still require further cooking later? So if I want to cook it to the highest temperature, with out rendering the sausage, when should it be...

    new strategy on my andouille/mes

    I agree with the four hour, the preColdsmoke will be 30 minutes tops than into freezer to tighten it up, than cube the meat, mix in the cubed fat and spices/water than into Grinder to grind and stuff, then air dry in garage at 30F, then into hot smoker to smoke and cook! I thought cure 2 was for...

    new strategy on my andouille/mes

    Most articles I've read about curing say that the reason for cure 1 is that they meat will be cold smoked as long as it takes to remove moisture, reduce moisture up to 30%. The removal of water is one of the most important components of curing which creates an environment that makes it difficult...

    new strategy on my andouille/mes

    Been leaving briskets and spareribs out overnight for decades so that meat is at room temp. You know how something cold grabs and condenses water, that's how air conditioning works. I wrap cold meat in towels so that the surface doesn't become warmer the inside, allows a gradual and equal warm...

    new strategy on my andouille/mes

    Closing Remarks; As I cut up the pork butt I noted that, this particular PB was heavily fatted compared to last one. With adding the pork fat addition the texture is in the range of bologna. I'm thinking about switching to pork shoulder which typically has little fat and then add pork fat as...
