    Sausage Noob need some help.

    So I have a pretty cheapo electric meat grinder with a sausage attachment and it's the next thing I really want to give a go at.  Would someone give me a walk through for how to make some very basic sausage?  Recipe, casing selection, where to find cure #1, how to tie up the casing, should I hot...

    WSM VS BGE GO!

    I want everyone opinion on both pieces of equipment.  Is quality of the BGE really worth the price gap?  Where is the cheapest place you've ever found both pieces?  Can you really cook enough on either?  Can you throw in a third option for me?  Right now I have a modded char griller duo which...

    Sausage Racks

    Where can I buy a sausage rack for the smoker to keep the sausage up off the grate?  I'd prefer to buy one locally since Im doing it this weekend but if I have to wait that's alright too.  I can't seem to find one.  Also while we are talking about racks, does anyone use rib racks?   Do they...

    Does any buy wood by the cord?

    New from Pennsyltucky...

    Hello all, I guess it's about time I introduce myself.  I am a long time meat lover, short time smoker.  About two years ago I bought a char griller duo and I've had nothing but problems with it.  It works fine as a grill, but the smoking hasn't been fantastic.  I stopped wasting my money on...

    Vertical Electric Smoker

    Hello all,  I just don't have the time to be at home tending my horizontal offset smoker anymore. Between work and side jobs I don't get to enjoy a perfectly barked beef brisket, or applewood ribs with my BBQ sauce, or making my deer jerky. So I've decided to buy an electric smoker so I can be...
