This is a fantastic idea, every time I get on here to figure out how to do something for the first time, I always look for your recipes, I know I'm getting good information.

Thank You for those Kind Words, Husker!!

I Appreciate that.

You Know I was thinking,  A few more years and Threads, I think Bear might have it down on these Step by Steps.  !!!!    LOL 

 I don't know about the rest of you, but I have tried some things that I probably wouldn't have tried if it wasn't for Bears Step by Step.

Thanks Gary!!

That's what these are for.

My Step by Steps show people how easy these things are to do, and they give them the confidence to try it the first time. Then they can make adjustments to fit their tastes on the next one.

They also make it easier for me to do the same thing more than once, because I use my Step by Steps all the time.

Bear...you're welcome in my kitchen anytime. A friend gave me several pounds of ground venison. Do you have any thoughts on a venison fatty? Too lean?

Thank You, Gator!!!

As a Fatty or Sausage, I would mix at least 40% Pork with the Venison, because it's so lean.

Back a few years ago when I ran a custom farm slaughter plant in Cody WY we did a mix of 60# wild game to 40 # of 50/50 pork trim to make all  of our salami and summer sausage.
 
I just added 2 more Great Indexes to this page:

At the bottom of my Index Page, in the "Friends That Cook & Smoke" Section, along with "SQWIBS Cooks", I now have "Gary's Smokes & Smoking Information", and "Jeff's Smoking Meat".

Now you can get to any of those Awesome Index Pages through my Index Page, and I can even more easily find answers for those who need them.

Thanks Everyone!!

Thank's Bear, I am honored that you you included me. Thank you.

Yup---Anything in that neighborhood is good to us. 60-40 is Great for Sausages. Lately our favorite Deerburger has been 50% Deer, 25% Beef, and 25% Pork. Everybody here likes it even more than regular Ground Beef.

Great to have you on board, Gary!!

Hope they fix your Signature link soon.

Until then, you can get to yours through mine!!

Thanks Bear; Alot of useful information! Always willing to learn new ways of doing smokes ect... The step by step is awesome.
Happy Smokin
Thank You GF !!

I'm glad you like my Step by Steps. And Thanks for letting me know!!

I just added another Prime Rib, which is also a Step by Step, like all the others. I think it's actually me best one yet !!!

That would be Great !!!

Call it "Step by Step City", where only threads that show every step from start to finish would be. I wish we had something like that 4 1/2 years ago, when I came to this site. There was hardly any threads that showed every step, which is why I decided to make a lot of them. Back then every time I wanted to smoke something for the first time, I had to search that item for hours. Then I'd find the best ones I could find. Very few of them had everything in their post. Some were missing time, or smoking temperature, or pulling temp, or how to do a rub, or how to do the cure (amount of cure & length of time in cure). So I'd take notes---These 3 guys said to use this smoking temp, these 2 guys said pull it at this temp, these 4 said to put oil on first & then rub, These two said to use Cure #1, this one said to use TQ, but nobody said how much to use & how long to cure. Most posts didn't say anything at all, so if I was searching to find out how to do something, I was wasting my time trying to find everything out from such threads.

  So I decided to take copious notes, and make it easy for Newbies to get started. I try to include every possible thing I can think of, so anybody could follow it for their first time or two. After that they can continue to follow mine, or preferably expand out to making changes on their own. When I do a repeat of something I already did, I follow ones I did before & maybe make small changes each time. 

  Since those days there are a few guys who show everything they do, step by step, but very few. Even now when I'm ready to start something that I didn't do before, I have trouble finding the details that I need to do it good enough the first time, because very few threads fill in a lot of detail. I never want to do a smoke for the first time wrong, because I can't afford to waste meat by not finding out how to do something before I start.

So like I said, it would be Awesome for those guys with too many Step by Steps to put in their Signature, to be in a special place for people to go to when they want to know how to do something. That's a Great Idea!!!

I also have a bunch of threads that I didn't give much details, and those threads will never make it into my "Step by Step Index" because they are not True Step by Steps. Having anything that does not show every step from start to finish, would be defeating the purpose.

My 2 cents,

Bear
Hey I like that Idea   It would be great
