    First Sausage in the Frigidaire Smoker

    This is probably the best I've made so far (It's only my second batch ever). The first smoke in my Frigidaire brand smoker. Used some semi-green apple and peach limbs. The mix came from the sausage maker. I used about 2/3 venison and 1/3 hog jowl. I don' think this will last long. Jerky is on...

    Source and/or material for jerky shelves

    I need some inexpensive shelving material for my converted fridge smoker. I've seen some shelving at places like Allied Kenco but I don't want to pay $15 - $20 a shelf when I'll need 10 or so. Is there some rigid metal screen I'm not thinking of that I can cut and use for shelving?

    Question about air circulation

    While smoking my summer sausage this weekend, seemed like it took forever to get the last 6 degrees in the sausage. I hit 149 and pretty much stayed there for over an hour. I finally took some card board and covered the 4" vent pipe completely. It has built-in damper but there's still a...

    How many pounds per casing?

    I have some 2.3" X 24" collagen casings. Approximately how many pounds would each hold? It's too late in the evening to attempt that kind of math.

    Freezing/Storing Venison Sausage

    I plan to smoke some venison sausage this coming weekend. I hate to make too much at one time. It doesn't seem to keep well long-term in the freezer. I may just grind all the venison and pork trimmings/jowl, smoke a couple pounds and keep the excess meat in the freezer. Does anyone have a...

    Hello Smoking Meaters!

    Or it is Meat Smokers? Glad to be on this forum. I've enjoyed it so far. I'm even thinking of joining Jeanette at a buddhist temple somewhere. I'm from Osage County Missouri. It's rough hill country full of rock and hardwoods. I live in the country where I can see nothing but trees for...

    Building an Electric Smoker

    Hello all. This is my first post here. I need some thoughts on my new smoker project. I have used an electric brinkman for several years but don't really like it for smoking summer sausage, bacon and other things because it gets too hot and doesn't realy have room to hang large bacon slabs or...
