    What type / model of smoker do you all recommend?

    WOW what great advise all around! I am going to do a little more research, but I am pretty sure I am going for the Weber Smokey Mountain or the Pitboss pellet smoker. Curious though, how is the flavor of pellets vs chunks / chips?

    So, after spending quite a bit of time perusing these forums and learning a lot and realizing how much of a newb I am at this, I am about ready to purchase my first 'real' smoker. My upright propane / water smoker bit the dust over Christmas, and am looking for what is the best for that...

    Venison sausage mixture

    Thank you all for the advise! Now, what about Tallow? I have a brother who eats Kosher, will beef / tallow be as good as pork? Or should the mixture be a little bit more? (like 5 -3- 2 or 3-1-1 Venison, Beef Roast, Tallow)

    Venison sausage mixture

    Hello! So I am processing a bunch of venison for sausage, and a lot of recipes I see do a 3-1-1 ratio (Venison, Pork roast and fatback). I was wondering if Lard is a good substitute for fatback? And if so, do I keep the same ratio? EDIT: Also open for other suggestions of mixture of beef /...

    I ran out of hog casings

    Ya I did. I went to the butcher, said I need about 15', the butcher said "You were just here..." I said I know, so he went in the back, came out, and said "here, don't run out again" and GAVE me about 100' . No charge. I got the mix cold, it was kinda stiff so I loosened with water. It was...

    I ran out of hog casings

    Good day! So I ground up a bunch of venison and made an excellent sausage, and I have about 3 lbs of meat left because I did not get enough casings. What is the best route as the meat will soon be too hard to stuff. Can I keep the meat in the fridge overnight until I get more casings? Will...
