    Brining Turkey Beasts

    I'm just concerned with being too salty to the taste. I am going to use Jeff's recent e-mail suggestion for smoking a turkey as a guideline since neither of my smokers are large enough for a whole turkey. The learning never ends. Thanks for the suggestions. Minotbob

    Brining Turkey Beasts

    I just got a 5.5# frozen bone-in turkey breast. According to the label it has been injected to "enhance juiciness" with salt, turkey broth, salt, sodium phosphate, sugar and flavoring. If I brine the breasts will that make it too salty? Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Vacuum packing jerky

    Depending on the environment and where you are letting it rest for two days it could be re-hydrating. The way that I test to see if it's dry is to bend a piece, if you see small strings of whitish meat fiber in the bend then it's done. Then it's vacuum sealed right away with a 50cc oxygen...

    We're in Dallas now so it stands to reason that they'd be less expensive down here.

    Jalapeno peppers

    Looks like Wal-mart has Jalapenos for 88 cent/lb. We are moving back to Minot ND next week so I guess a cooler full of peppers are planned.

    Mr T's - Fresh - Salt Crusted - Prime Rib Roast - Q/View

    I make the same roast only a little differently. I like a 5-6# rolled roast or prime rib. I get a large soup pot and pit about 1" of rock sale in the bottom. Then I prepare the roast by puncturing it with a fork and smothering it with Worchester Sauce. Then I wrap the roast in cheese cloth and...

    My build

    Years ago I built a smoker out of a refer. I added a hot plate for heat and a cast iron skillet to hold wood and charcoal. This was about 40 years ago. I also added a hot water heater thermostat to control the hot plate. It worked pretty well to smoke fish. I also added a damper to a 4" chimney.

    First smoked cheese question !

    I think I smoked it a little heavy. What I was wondering is, are there better woods to use to flavor cheese? Perhaps apple might not be as strong as hickory, or what ever.
