Making brisket question...
I notice a lot of times brisket is served in a pan of juice and it's very good. When I've made brisket in the past, I've just put it on the smoker rack directly and it still comes out tender. Am I supposed to be smoking it in a pan of juice like au ju? What kind of pan, like an aluminum... -
I can't get snack sticks right for the life of me.
I know there's lots of threads about snack sticks on here but I think I'm missing something or doing something way wrong. My sticks always turn out overdone, or too moist, or just not flavorful enough. I use ground beef. Mix in black pepper, salt, garlic and paprika. I think that's... -
Pre Memorial Day Pulled Pork and Brisket
Hey all, Happy Memorial Day and thanks to those of you who have served or currently are serving our country to keep us safe. Was planning on just doing a brisket for today, but I let the wife in charge of getting the meat out of the deep freezer, and she grabbed the pork shoulder instead of... -
First pulled pork in new smoker today!
Wife bought me a New MES smoker for my birthday. I'm a big fan of this new one as it has a glass viewing window so I don't have to open the door to see the meat inside. Also has a built in meat probe as well. Today I'm making pulled pork for the first time. Got a 6 lb pork shoulder in now... -
Looking for a new Smoker. Advice on this one?
Hi. I've been smoking for about 4 years and my first smoker finally quit. Not on it's own, we had a bad storm and the wind was so strong it actually picked up the smoker and threw it across my deck and everything inside is destroyed along with a nice dent in the smoker itself. It was time...- justinkp

Preparing pork shoulder
This is my first attempt at pulled pork. I got a nice 12 lb pork shoulder/butt at SAMs club but I can't cook all 12 pounds at once. Is it ok to cut in half? Can I split it up even more? I'm gonna use maybe 2lb at a time right now. Other than cutting apart is there anything else I need to do... -

Successful brisket
Hey guys and girls... I can't find the pics right now, so forgive me. I'm searching through my phone, as I know I took pics. Anyways, a few weekends ago my family and the wifes family were over at the new house here for an "open house" and post holiday party. We had about 20 people total... -
I've learned a ton of stuff here...
Hey guys and girls. Just wanted to take a moment out to say a general thank you. This is a great forum. I bought my first smoker over 2 years ago at a local outdoors store, and just got a basic electric model not knowing if I'd actually use it or not, and how much I'd use it. Since joining...- justinkp

To stuff with grinder or sausage stuffer?
Still a bit of a newbie here. I've been stuffing my callogen casings with my snack stick meat through my meat grinder. I have the cablea pro grinder. It grinds the meat like a champ. it's really difficult to push the meat mixture down the tube into the grinder when stuffing though. I don't... -
Why aren't my snack sticks crunchy?

Anyone have a sweet and tangy snack stick recipe?
My local smokehouse has a "backwoods beef stick" which is incredible. They state it's a sweet and tangy snack stick and I was wondering if anyone had a recipe that I can make something similar to it. -
2nd try at Polish Kielbasa today and smoker question.
Decided to try again, being my first attempt didnt turn out as good as I'd of liked. The first was ok, but wasn't very flavorful and was dry. I added some paprika and more ground pepper to the mix this time, plus instead of going all pork, I went 80/20 pork and ground beef. After stuffing... -
Today's batch of Polish Kielbasa and Snack Sticks!
Decided to give it another try. Grinded up 3 pounds of pork loin and added the "Cabela's Polish Kielbasa" seasoning and cure kit. (Yeah I cheated with the seasoning for this time.) The kit came with hog casings. Mixed in the cure, seasoning to the 1/8" ground pork and stuffed into the... -
Making my first batch of snack sticks!
So my first attempt at any type of snack stick is today. I've used my smoker so far to smoke ribs, and chicken, but this is the first time I've done anything with jerky or snack sticks. Bought a jerky shooter yesterday and 19mm callogen casings from Cabela's. Seemed kind of pricy, but what... -
