The week-end before I seasoned it with vegtable oil. I got the temps up
around 550F for a while and then back down to around 250F.
I wanted to bake the high temp paint on. I think air flow is going to

I replaced the...
This has turned out to be a week-end long sausage make. This time I did it in stages.
Friday: So Friday evening I picked up a 10# Packer Trim Brisket, and a 8# Pork Shoulder. I stayed up kind of late Friday night cubing up all this meat. By the time I trimmed off the "un-wanted's" and boned...
I remember Debi recommending using juniper berries, but I can't seem to find that info again.

A few photos from my "smoking" week-end.
I had a cured Corn Beef in the freezer, so I thawed it during the week. My wife got some Pork Loins on sale, so on Monday I did a Morton's Cure to one of them for a couple of pieces of Canadian Bacon.
Yesterday, Sat. I loaded up my new Smoke Hollow...
