    Bone in pork sirloin roast?

    A local discount food market has bone in pork sirloin roasts for 1.39lb if you buy 10lbs or more. I haven't seen it yet as I can't get up there until Friday. Just curious if this would be a similar cut to pork cushion which I have done before. The last cushion I bought got cured and smoked like...

    Curing time with Pop's brine??? Updated with Q-View

    I have 4 boned out turkey breast fillets curing in Pop's brine. Each one is probably between 2-3 inches thick at the thickest part. Will a solid 48 hours be long enough for curing time? I would like to do the smoke tomorrow if possible. I will post Q-view.

    Anyone make mustard?

    I am curios if anyone on the forum makes their own mustard. I did a search and didn't come up with anything. I thought it would be fun to serve home made mustard with some of my smoked meats.

    How was your Thanksgiving?

    First off, I hope everyone had a great turkey day. Mine was great but very quiet, peaceful and uneventful. That is fine and good but as I look back over the years I have fond memories of simpler times when the characters in my life made the holidays a banquet of anticipation. It was a simple...

    New surprise smoking room & MES mod.

    I got a nice surprise today. I was working on some photos and started wondering where my Dad had got off to. Went to check on him and found he had cleaned out our old wood finishing room in the shop and turned it into a smoking room. Complete with exhaust fan so I can run the MES in the winter...

    I'm getting ready to make a 15lb batch of venison kielbasa this weekend and have a question regarding tripling my ingredients. The recipe calls for 1 cup of water for 5lbs. Should I be o.k. just adding 3 cups or should I do 2 cups and check consistency before adding the third?

    Pork Cushion On The MES

    Good morning fellow smokers. The girls left this AM for 4 days in Reno so myself and 4 other dudes have the yard and kitchen to ourselves. I couldn't think of a better way to start the fun than some pulled pork sammies for dinner. So, I rubbed up a 5lb pork cushion roast with a modified Jeff's...

    I picked up some St Louis spares on sale the other day so yesterday was rib day with a side of Dutch's beans done in the MES with AMNPS and pitmasters choice pellets.

    Uniworld sausage stuffer?

    Does anyone have any experience with the Uniworld sausage stuffers? I see a 5lb vertical with the tilting bucket on ebay for 136.00 with free shipping. It looks like the Weston stuffer. Probably made at the same factory in China.  I was thinking about a LEM but like the tilting bucket.
