    Nice article about making Bangers

    Here is a very nice article about a guy making his own British Bangers. He researched and documented it very well. http://thepauperedchef.com/2010/03/h...html#more-5956

    Older 40" SS MES Recovery time and mod?

    Yesterday, I tried to smoke 20 lbs of chicken wings. I added water from the tap as hot as I could get and set it on 225 to preheat. The outside temp was in the mid to upper 20s. The unit was inside my garage with the overhead door open. Although it wasn't at all windy, it was shielded from the...

    What happened to Texas-Hunter?

    This guy used to reply in practically every topic and was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was a member of the OTBS. His name doesn't appear in the Member List anymore and I searched the forum for his posts and came up empty. I've noticed since the crash that there are a lot more noobs...

    Smoked Venison Summer Sausage

    I was talking about the summer sausage I was making in my post about encapsulated citric acid and Trapper asked me for the recipe. I told him I would do a full write-up with QView the next time I made some. Here it it is: I think this is adapted from Rytek's book. I wrote the recipe down and...

    MES Temp Gauge Accuracy

    I have an MES 40" SS (last year's version). Has anyone made any modifications to their MES to add an external temp gauge? I had mine set in the sun this weekend. I let it heat up for about an hour with it set on 100. When I checked the temp, the factory gauge was reading 155. I moved it to the...

    Encapsulated Citric Acid

    Anyone used encapsulated Citric Acid? It's supposed to be an additive that gives the tang/fermented taste that fermented sausages have. I've used Fermento and although the sausage was good, didn't think the Fermento did all that much for it. I wanted to try something else, mainly because...

    Tasso Ham

    First you take the pork butt and after removing the bone, slice it into steaks about 1 1/4 inch thick. Then you dry cure it for 4 hours. When done, a lot of the moisture is removed from the pork and it becomes much firmer (1st pic). Then you rinse off the cure and pat it dry with paper towels...

    Andouille with QView

    Smoked off about 20 lbs of Andouille last night. It turned out really good. The last time I made it, I used some cayenne that I got from a discount store for 99 cents and it wasn't spicy at all. I didn't make that mistake this time. It's smokey, spicy, melt in your mouth goodness all the way...
