    How much do you normally spend on a Fattie?

    Al, I reran the numbers and the one I just made was about 14USD, not counting time and running around.  The reason I ask is that I resell these and other smoked meats.  Even though you use your own meats there still is a cost involved. Chalee Chef Jimmy J 1 lb JD style sausage, eggs...

    The cost of bacon is  1220 140 baht kilo or ~$4.20 kilo.  Crappy ground sausage is about the same, it's hard to find a store that will grind meat unless you buy 10 kilo's..  It's almost impossible to get "bone in" ham, butt, or anything over here.  Although pork and chicken are the 2 most stable...

    How much do you normally spend on a Fattie?

    Guys and Gals, How much do you normally spend when making a fattie?  I know it varies on the type of sausage or other meat.  Then you have the Bacon (I use 2 pack normally) then other ingredients.  I figured around 15-25 USD. Anybody? Chalee

    Types of curing salts

    Living in Thailand I am kinda limited on obtaining MTQ, and other curing salts.  I have the 6 kilo's of the Butchers Quick and can't find the measurements.  I emptied the bag and no instructions inside.  I have sent them an email, but haven't heard back. Chalee

    Types of curing salts

    Guys and gals didn't know where else to put this. I have been using Morton Tender Quick for years but I ran out for a bit and a friend sent me some Butchers Quick cure.  It's from a company called Weschenfielder. I typically use 1 tablespoon per pound, however I usually cure for 4-7 days...

    Smoke For Lunch Today - Pizza Fatty (Best Fatty For Me!)

    Fatties are one of my favorites to smoke and eat.  Kind of hard to assemble when you have it to full and try rolling it up. Love them though and yours looks mighty fine.  Hard to cook for one the wife (Thai) doesn't like my food or want even try it.  Has anyone seen the flat one's? 1 pound on...
