    Dried Beef and CB, Part 2

    Thanks - I do have a slicer but its not a great one. I had a hard time getting it as thin as I was hoping. But the flavor is really good. Thanks for all your guidance.

    Canadian Bacon and Dried Beef (cured & smoked)

    Thanks Bear - I appreciate the guidance. I'm going to go flip the packages right now and work them a bit. The waiting is the hardest part! I'll try to remember to post some pics after when I pull them out to smoke and after the smoke. My wife is very excited for some homemade dried beef.

    Canadian Bacon and Dried Beef (cured & smoked)

    I have about 8 lbs of beef round roast and 4 lbs of pork loin in the meat fridge right now. I put the beef in on 10/5 and the pork in 10/7. Both with Tender Quick. The way my schedule works out, I'm not going to be able to smoke this 10/13 but I could do it on 10/14. Or I could let it cure...

    Snow Day in MN - snack sticks on the MES 30

    Thanks for the info on the Von Hanson's. I called the Chan location and they have five different kinds of high temp cheese and it is cheaper than I was paying online. I hope to get some later this week and do a batch of sticks over the weekend. I'll be sure to post some pics.

    Snow Day in MN - snack sticks on the MES 30

    Thanks - I'll check with them. Kraft stopped making Crumbles a few years ago. I also heard that it was an alternative so I tried to fine some (Cub, Walmart, Lunds, Target). I finally asked at my local Cub Foods but was told Kraft no longer makes them. Thanks for the guidance on Von Hansno's!

    Final Smoked Salmon with recipe, instructions, and Qview

    This is one of my family's favorites. We loves it on sandwiches (bagles) with cream cheese. I've made a few dips with it which is great with a cold beverage and crackers. I've made with scrambled eggs and omelette. It is always a hit when I take to parties too.

    Using 73/27 beef for snack sticks

    Well, my sticks have turned out great for years. But thought I'd double check to see what others say and below is example and most recommend at least 70/30 - https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/170/using-the-best-fat-to-lean-ratio-in-making-sausage

    Using 73/27 beef for snack sticks

    I use it all the time. I actually spoke to a local butcher and he said they typically go 75/25 for their sticks to I figured this was close enough. I typically use a LEM mix and add a half pound of cheese. The sticks never last long as my family and friends love them.

    High Temp Cheese in a snack stick?

    I just ordered some high temp cheese to add to my snack sticks.  I typically do 5 or 10lbs batches of beef snack sticks so I am curious how much high temp cheese do you add to your batches.   Thanks
