    TSM seasoning

    Can anyone tell me if the TSM jerky seasoning is sprinkled on the meat at the time of drying or is it a marinade that you soak the meat in? I have emailed 2 places that sell it and have not received a responce. Thanks

    Finish temp

    I have 2 fatties on the smoker right now and been cooking for about 2 1/2 hrs. I have been looking for a finish temp in the search bar and the only one I can find says 240 - 250 degrees. I am at 162 now cooking at 240. They are pretty thick. So what would the finished temp be?

    Sealer

    Does anyone know if this can be used to seal one end of the bulk vacuum bags that come in the 50' roll? I have a Weston sealer and I can't just turn on the sealer bar to set the first end of the bag.

    Very confused

    I have read through the posts, read articles online and in books. Seems the more I read about it the more confused I get about the nitrite and nitrates, gotta be at this temp or that temp. Seems every time someone says something someone else contradicts. I have 40lbs of bellies in the fridge...

    Smoked brisket

    Sorry no pictures. I went to the butcher on the 10th and got the largest brisket they had, about 12 lbs. I used Myron Mixons recipe in his book. I ordered the Minors beef and  Minors Au jus listed in the recipe. Just do a google search for minors beef. I'm sure the recipe can be found on-line...

    lump charcoal

    I just found Coal Porter lump charcoal for $390/ 1320lb pallet. Why is it being discontinued? Is it junk or is it a decent coal?

    webstaurant store

    Anyone use this co. for your grilling or cooking needs? I have purchased most of my cookware from them and I get it pretty quick. The only downside to them is the shipping. The prices are great though so it seems to offset. I just looked up teriyaki and worsteshire for my jerky and it was mid...

    Cure #1

    Does the cure #1 give the meat a salty taste? I know you don't use much but I haven't used it yet so I was unsure about the taste. Thanks

    suet in sausage

    I have always heard that you can not use suet in sausage because it will not be cooked at the same time the pork fat is. Am I wrong in thinking this? I have always trimmed it off when I get ready to grind.  I just watched a you tube video  that says to mix it in. I supplied the link but if it's...
