    Pastrami smoking and an ice storm question

    Hello, I have a quick question about freezing my pastrami. At the moment I have a couple chuckies dry curing with TQ and they will be ready to smoke/Sous Vide this weekend. I also have a snow/ice storm headed my way this weekend and I’m not sure if it’s feasible to get them out to the smoker. I...

    Chuck Pastrami

    I’ve made a few chuck roast pastramis and I thought I would share. They had them on sale at my local Fred Meyers (Kroger) for $3.49/lb so I picked up a couple. I prefer using TQ for my cure and the rest is really basic. I started with a weighed amount of TQ, a healthy dusting of black...

    Reaper Hot Honey

    My friend mentioned to me trying a commercial ‘hot honey’ and asked why I couldn’t do that with Reapers. Not being able to think of a good reason why not… Jug of honey, some reapers, and cheese cloth. Couple teabags from hell. Tried to keep around 175*. ‘Steeped’ for 40 minutes and...

    Asian-Inspired Beef Jerky

    I’ve taken a couple tries at this one lately, so I thought I’d share. Some of the same flavors you might find in Korean BBQ (Bulgogi), but I would never claim it is by any means authentic. I started with 4.3 lbs of Eye of Round that ended up being about 4 lbs after trimming off all of the fat...

    I stumbled across this stuff at a local place (Providore in Portland, OR if you happen to be in the area, you won’t be disappointed) and it’s some of the best salami I’ve ever had. It’s imported from a company named Levoni and it’s hard to find other folks that even make the stuff. It also...

    Reapers (round 4)

    I’ve been trying to grow these for a few years now with mixed success. Trying to learn from mistakes, this year I started like this: Beginning of March – Received seeds from PuckerButt Pepper Company. Planted in Jiffy pellets, and put on a seed warming mat. After a day I took the temp of the...

    Spicy Pickles

    I have been on SMF for a few years now, but haven’t posted much. I’ve read a lot though over the years though and have learned more than I can explain from so many of you. This one isn’t off the smoker, but it’s what I happened to be doing this weekend and thought I would share… Every year I...

    Mailbox mod works too good?

    Hi all. Just finished up my mailbox mod for my MES and AMNPS and man, it is working extremely well. image.jpg (1,175k. jpg file) image.jpg (1,013k. jpg file) I've taken a couple stabs at making sausage and they have came out pretty good, but I had a difficult time producing much smoke. I...
