    Smoked Rainbows and Brown Trout.

       I fired up the smoker today and did some rainbows and some brown trout...so Here some pics of the smoker full of fillets. I had a guy say if" I smoked the fish for him for nothing that I could have half of the smoked fish". Sounds like a good deal!

    Venison Question

    I would say the hind legs... more meat and better cuts if you want to have a roast to eat. I make alot of venison summer sausage and all I do is de-bone the meat and save the backstraps and the inside tenderloins and I grind the rest up for sausage, venison bacon, snack sticks, and...

    Going to try Venison SS this weekend

    I use water in the pan....it will put humidity in the smoker. I hang my sticks from my racks with S hooks that I made from metal coat hangers with about an inch or so between the sticks so that they aren't touching.I use the loop on the casing to hang off of the S hook. I can get 25 #s of SS in...

    LEM backwoods summer sausage resting time?

    I always let it rest overnight...Thats what I would of done if i was using a maple cure... which is probably what you are using. If you are using a pink cure , you can go straight to the smoker after stuffing.                         Blza

    Gosm with Yellow flame...

    Thanks guy's for the info! It is really dirty inside the smoker ... so it probably needs a good cleaning. I want to check the screen out also. There could be a spider nest in there....LOL Who knows!!!!                      Thanks for the help, Blza

    Summer Sausage Stuff and Smoke - Day 2 - 26 pics Q-View

    That is a good idea on using plastic zip ties. I use butcher string to tie mine and i think zip ties might be a better way to go!                   Blzafour

    3Men Jerky Making

    I have six racks in my smoker and the bottom rack does get hot.  All I do is rotate the racks out... I'll rotate the racks by taking the bottom rack to the top and moving the rest of the racks down one position. By doing this, the racks all seem to get done at more of an even temp. I will do...

    thermometer broke

    I got a Weber thermometer and have been using it for at least 5 years now... I got no problem with them! They got a reset button on the receiver and the sending unit if you have a problem with it down the road! Blza

    Smoking deer sausage; 1st go at it

    I agree with coffee junkie... start with a small batch 12.5lbs or even 6 lbs so you get a feel to how much work it is to stuff through a grinder. It can be done, but it is alot harder and slower to do. Been there and done that.... ONCE. That was the last time I stuffed with my grinder. It took...
