    Curing and cold smoking

    Hi, How things differ from country to country. If someone came into my shop and wanted an uncured hind leg of pork he/she would ask for a leg of pork or shoulder of pork if it was a forequarter.   Only when cured does the term ham get used. As for the cure being used on chuck steak...while not...

    Cold smoking

    Hi Dave, All is now peaches and cream. Thanks to this forum I've been educated re lighting my pellet barrel and am now using it in the red smoker only. Not a sniff of acrid smoke in sight. I've put three barrels (16hrs) into it now and each of the three smokes was excellent. Finally all is...

    Cold smoking

    Hi Dan, I've cold smoked chicken legs for an hour to give them the smoke flavour but haven't smoked any other beef. My smoker is for cold smoking Garlic, Capsicum (Peppers), Himalayan Salt, Cracked Peppercorns and am also dabbling in Almonds.   I sell them online and to six (at present) local...

    Crazy vegan, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free sister-in-law visiting

    Here here. I can't believe what kids get away at the dinner table now days. I come from a family of nine and mum ws a good plain cook. No chance of not eating what was put in front of you though.   But with my size family it was best to eat what ever was there on your plate and do it quickly...

    Crazy vegan, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free sister-in-law visiting

    Over here in Oz there's a Celiac society which gives heaps of info to those afflicted. Also another good place to look is 7th Day Adventist sites. They can be very helpful also. Good Luck.

    Cold smoking

    I've had a Eureka moment thanks to a forum member 'ScooterMagoo' who showed via YouTube link (click below) how to best light the AMNPS. I went out and bought a heat gun and truly it's the best $39.00 I have ever spent. I used his method to light my smoking barrel (an Aussie version of the...

    Crazy vegan, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free sister-in-law visiting

    Yikes!! A vegan, Dairy Free, and Gluten free sister-inlaw...best thing is to meet her at the frond door say hello and exchange other pleasantries and then bid her farewell. Tell her you have no suitable food for her and don't want to be responsible for her decline. If that doesn't go over too...

    Cold smoking

    You're actually 100% correct. I looked into the top of the smoke gen and it was thick as ever, so I looked into the fire box and couldn't see for smoke, but in the smoke chamber it was coming out of the inlet pipes very laboured. I'll straighten the pipes to remove the sag and see how it goes. ...

    Cold smoking

    Hi, Here are some photos of my first effort at smoker construction. The red smoke chamber can be used by itself or with the firebox on the left. This setup won't win any construction prizes, but it makes a lot of smoke into the firebox, which I hope leaves most off the creosote in that...
