    Cure and IT in Sausage

    Sorry if this a still a silly question but can someone explain this to me. My question is, if you are using a cure in sausage, why does everyone insist that you smoke it to an IT of 150*? Isn't it safe to eat at a much lower IT, seeing as the cure would have killed all the bacteria? Thanks...

    Gas Grill

    I know a lot of people use the tubes on gas grills and I had a safety question. Most gas bbqs do not come with a thermocouple safety valve. If the flame blows out could the amnps relight the propane causing an explosion? Thanks for the replies.

    BBQ/Smoker

    How does this crude drawing look to you guys for a pig roaster / BBQ / smoker combo? I'm adding in a mailbox mod for my pellet tray underneath on the left hand side with the stack on the right hand side. Do you think that that will be adequate for smoke? It's going to be heated by three long...

    BBQ/Smoker

They will sit there for an average of 4 hours before they start getting up over 137. I normally dry them for about an hour at 120 then bump it up 145 for 2 hours then 155 for 2...

    Smoking snack stick question

    So I am going to be making my first batch of snack sticks and one thing I am a little unclear on is how long to keep the smoke on the sticks. Do I keep smoke on it for like 3 hours then just keep it in the smoker till it reaches 153ish? Thanks for the help!

    Is this safe?

    So my first time smoking ever went.....ok. I learned a lot. One of which is thicker pieces go on the top rack. I thought the bottom closer to the element would be hotter but it seems the stuff on the top was dried a lot more. Maybe because it was thinner. I really don't know. How do you guys...
