    Special treatment for lamb?

    I believe lamb should be lightly smoked. I use a cookshack 55. I use just a few sprigs of rosemary, and a small amount of garlic to generate smoke. The smoke flavor comes from the residue in the unit itself.

    Question about binders

    I normally use soy protein concentrate for binder. I am thinking about trying this. It claims to be a blend of instantized sodium phosphates. This product is also called hunter’s special meat binder.  Has anyone tried this or have any opinion about this product. It can be found here...

    Smoked beef tongue

    I used a my standard maple brine for 2-3 days. I smoked the meat at 225 for 3-4 hours. The internal temp is really not important since you will be cooking it again but 160 f is a safe bet. I skinned the tounge after cooking . It turned out every bit as good as you can buy in the store.

    Hotdog Question...

    Pink salt (cure #1) cures the meat. Curing changes the taste of the meat and affects the color of the meat as well as the health benefits when slow smoking meats.

    Anyone making Kabanosy?

    I just made some kabanosy. I like it dried, or right out the smoker. I even like it fried (the little bit of meat that you can not stuff). You can not really go wrong with this sausage.

    It is time for pastrami

    Those are 2 corned beef flats that I seasoned with pastrami rub and smoked at 225f for roughly 5 hrs. That is when the they reached an internal temp of 160-165f.

    Corned Beef/Pastami temp

    I generally take my pastrami to 160-165f. I use a slicer to cut it. But when I prepare sandwiches I like to steam the pastrami. The steaming makes it quite tender.
