    Question about "speed cure"

    I just got me a batch of Cabela's brand Snack Stick mix, and my plan was to mix everything up tonight (also got some of their beef jerky mix, which said to let sit overnight), and stuff/smoke tomorrow. I got everything done, mixed and when I put it in the fridge and re-read the instructions, it...

    Just got a Jerky Cannon, need a recipe with no Onion or Garlic

    Hello fellow smokers... For the past couple of years, my wife has been eating Sweetwood Fatty Sticks as quick go to snack during the day, but after her gallbladder removal, she has had some issues with them. Long story short, her nutritionist has her on a low FODMAP diet, and them moral is...

    Do I need to Cure Fresh Pork?

    I have a couple quick questions about getting a 1/2 of pig.. Every year, we go in with some folks and get a half a pig. Before I owned my smoker, I always just got everything smoked, and it all worked well. Now that I have my smoker, and feel competent with it, I thought I would get...

    Problems with chips, what brand are you all using?

    Just curious what brand of chips everyone else is using in their MES smokers?  I only ask because I have been having some big time creosote problems with my Cold Smoker attachment. Before every smoking session, I completely scrub and clean out the shoot on the inside of the cold smoker.  And...

    Beef Sticks, jerky, pepperoni, salami or something similar that doesn't need refrigeration

    I wasn't sure if the Jerky forum was the best place for this, but I figured its a good place to start.. I have been reading a lot on here for snack sticks and beef jerky and it seems like the general consensus is that everything should be refrigerated once the smoking is done, even if using...

    Storage of the finished product?

    Now that I have done a batch of cheese and I am waiting for it to age a bit, I am curious about storage of the finished product.  I have read a lot of posts on there, where some folks are doing upwards of 60 lbs of cheese at a time.  I feel like I would need a separate fridge just to keep all of...

    Giving this smoking cheese a shot..

    I am generally not a "post pictures" of stuff, but I took the pictures for someone else, so figured why not?  I have read all the posts here about cheese, so I might as well just write something up..  As part of a way to say thanks for all the help I got lurking around here... Because the...

    Too cold for smoking cheese?

    Been doing a bunch of reading, and generally speaking, folks are concerned about outside temps getting too hot for smoking cheese, which makes sense if you live in the south, because of melt. However, I live in Maine and at this time of the year, I don't need to be concerned about outside temps...

    Forgot to add cure to the marinade. Too late to add now??

    My plan for this morning/afternoon was to do a couple of whole chickens and some breasts, and the later part of the day, finish up with some jerky. When I made the marinade last night (in total will be marinading for about 18 hours), I forgot to add the cure to it. Is it too late to smoke today...

    Howdy from Maine!!!

    I just posted a thread in a different forum here, so I figured I would give the ol' "Howdy Ho!" here.. Ok.. first off, just brand new to smoking meat..  I have been making jerky in a dehydrator for years, but I figured it was time I graduated to a smoker.  I got for a wedding gift (the wife...
