That one might take me a bit to get my head around. I love pork, and beef, but a 2-3 month old piglet? Humm... Looks tasty but kinda creepy at the same time. Good job none the less.
I'm trying bacon for the 2nd time. Have 12 lbs in fridge as I type this. Went with 1 tablespoon of TQ per pound and 1/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup pure maple syrup per 6 pounds. Threw in some cracked pepper, garlic power and onion powder for some flavor.
What is a good temp for hot smoking...
I have the same one you do. Your firebox grate is a lot nicer than mine though! Some advice from reading your review - Do not use the chimney damper to control heat. Just the firebox damper. You want the smoke to kiss the meat and leave. By closing the chimney damper the smoke builds up. It...

The weekly special is two 50lb boxes for $150, and that includes shipping. You can do 25/25 or 50 in each box. I picked myself up apple, maple, oak and hickory in the 5.5" splits. Got in like 3 days. The flavor is like night and day when compared to...
Hi! I have had a 16" Horizon smoker for about 2 years now. I've tried numerous types of getting smoke and now I'm just confuzled. Not having any access to any logs, I've been using lump charcoal as the fuel since I've gotten it. First I tried wood chips soaked in water but they burned up in a...
I have connections to many local farms, etc and also the local butchers. I can get whole and halve hogs dirt cheap fully butchered and packaged. Last time I bought one I got the hog for .45/pound then $100 for the butcher fee. $225 or so was my total for like 150lbs of finished meat. If we get...
Woops forgot to add its a 16" classic Horizon Smoker. And to answer the other question - yep corn/grass fed farm deer. Shot with a 12gague slug up the front left hip out the other side.
Well today I got a brisket going, probably on for 8-9 hours, some fresh almost ham, venison roast, roast vegies, roast corn and for snaking on some fresh shrimp.
Today I decided to try a brisket, some venison and some of my ham I'm curing. I removed the whole 21lb slab of fresh ham and got to work on it. The first picture is what I got, 4 good slabs of boneless meat - all about the same size and weight. Those 4 went back into the cure, 2nd picture, the...
Well I found some charcoal, thanks for the tip for menards. I found some wood chips there but they seem to burn way to fast, I've gone thru like 2 bags already in 5 hours.
Thanks! I didn't think about the kitchen window - they are a fantastic tool shop. I went into a sports store in TX, I think it was academy sports or something, they had like 4 aisles dedicated to nothing but smoking/grilling. Now that's what I would like to see here, but till then I'll check out...
If you know where they sell BGE's please inform me. I ended up buying my smoker from a dealer in Des Moines, IA. My local Wally worlds selection on BBQ supplies take a whole 3 feet of self. Target = nothing, HD = your run of the mill kingsfords bout it. I'll go look at lowes again. This gives me...
I'm in the minneapolis area of MN and I can't find any where that has stuff for smoking. This includes lump charcoal, decent wood chips, brine/cure, decent rubs, etc. Anyone have any special places I might not of tried or should I just order them online? Thanks
