2.5 lb ground beef 90/10
1/2 tsp cure 1
3 tsp salt, non iodized
1 tsp powdered smoke. Dissolve into 4 T distilled water
1 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 1/4 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp fennel seeds, slightly crushed

Just trying something different.

What is this powdered smoke you speak of?

What is this powdered smoke you speak of?

He breathes in smoke through his nostrils and a respiratory still in his lungs processes the smoke and turns it into a liquid smoke, then it passes through the dehydrating gland and turns it into a powder.....

quick google search explained that.

Powdered hickory smoke or powdered mesquite smoke is available at Butcher-Packer.

And another interesting possibility, dried beer extract?
