    Dry cure measurements

    I picked up a 4.5 lb piece of pork belly from Costco and am looking for the amounts of salt, brown sugar, and cure I should be using for this size.  I plan on cold smoking it and slicing it into bacon slices.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    What's the reason for waiting a month before eating it?  Can you package and freeze it right away after smoking?

    Goose Leg Recipe?

    Sprinkled some seasoning on them and wrapped them in bacon.  Smoked at 200 for 3 hours till they reached 155.  All in all they had a good flavor and tasted good.  A little tough with the sinew and tendons but overall I'd do it again.

    Goose Leg Recipe?

    I've got some leftover goose legs/thighs from last fall and I'm thinking about smoking them. Anyone have a recipe they could share if you've tried this before?

    Course or fine?

    I think my next batch I'll just run through a course plate and see how it is.

    Course or fine?

    I've been making my own deer sausage (country style) for a few years now and have always ground the meat through a course plate then again through a fine plate. I recently had tried some sausage that someone else made but they must have just ran it through a course plate because the consistency...

    Chicken Thighs (Q-view)

    Haven't posted anything for a while and haven't been able to do much smoking.  I'm making a comeback this weekend.  Brined some chicken thighs for about 4 hours today and seasoned half with Famous Daves and the other half with Jim Beam seasoning. In the smoker for 2 hours. Put on the grill for...

    Bourbon

    Jim Beam is my all time favorite!  Fighting Cock is pretty good and strong too, just can't get it up in my neck of the woods anymore.

    Need Brisket Advise

    I'm going to smoke a brisket this weekend and am not sure if I should rub it or marinade and rub it. Which is best? Also, what's a good rub or marinade to use on a brisket? Thanks in advance!

    Yes, that's exactly what came undone. Thanks for getting my brief explanation! Wasn't quite sure I explained it good enough. I'll have to look and see what I can replace it with. Thanks!

    Latch Broke on MES

    My latch broke on my MES last weekend. It looks like the pins or rivets that hold it on came loose. Has anyone else had this problem?
