    Has any used this book: Great Sausage Recipes & Meat Curing - Rytek Kutas

    The thing about this book compared to others, is that it was written for the individual getting into sausage making. Hence why his recipes aren't weighed. It is an introductory book with alot of good information meant to make the process as simple as possible and easy to understand.

    temp swings and sausage

    probably about as good as you will get with a pellet smoker. there is no way to 100% maintain perfect temps on pellet smokers as there is no way to weigh/count the number of pellets dropped when auger turns. can get close, but thats about it

    Corned beef brine

    How long to cure just the flat with this method using Pops brine? i have some going now, the AmazingRibs calculator shows a cure time of 3 days for a 1.5'' flat. Seems awfully short to me...

    Smoker recommendation for 15-20lb of snack sticks?

    IMO 15lbs of sausage/snack sticks is way too much in an MES40. takes FOREVER and is too crowded

    Tested some new BB rubs (Jeff's, 12 Bones, Famous Dave's)

    Killer hogs is good when used in conjunction with his AP rub. The Vinegar sauce is awesome. My favorite so far is EAT zero to hero in conjunction with the Killer hogs vinegar sauce at the end.

    Weber Smoke Fire

    from the pictures ive seen it appears that the biggest issue with the grill is lack of proper grease management. The Flavorizer system allows the grease to drop right by the fire.

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    for flare ups they do work well, but flavoring the food? the flavorizer name is a gimmick IMO

    Yoder Smoker YS640s or new Broil King Regal or something else?!

    You just proved my point by stating that an external probe showed temp swings that the controller did not. None of them count/weigh an exact amount of pellets. No pellets are exactly uniform. There is no way to shut the heat off. All will swing to some degree. To claim that any will hold...

    just and FYI, unless explicitly stated, most brands are mixed 60-70% oak and 30-40% flavor wood to keep BTU's up.

    Yoder Smoker YS640s or new Broil King Regal or something else?!

    I mean it isn't holding +/- 1 degree from set point at all times. You would see temp swings on an external probe. The display is just showing you a set point, not actual real-time probe temp. It isn't like its a huge deal, +/- 20 degree swings even isn't a huge deal in BBQ none of it is going...

    Should I update my Yoder?

    They are using their own control built in house and have a programmer that takes care of software and such, as far as I can infer from digging around on it. I really like what I see with the Fireboard integration, but I can't really justify the $400 upgrade cost when my non-ACS controller works...

    Yoder Smoker YS640s or new Broil King Regal or something else?!

    yep. If you put a quality external probe in there, I am betting you would see swings on the order of 10 degrees or so.
