Cold Smoking / Smokehouse - Temps?
Hadn't planned on making a separate fire box. May need to, not sure. Was mainly asking initially if the outdoor ambient and internal house temps were even an issue. Looks like they aren't much of an issue since I have the cure in the grind. Not necessarily looking to do a "cold smoke" like... -
Cold Smoking / Smokehouse - Temps?
Sounds like an excellent idea. I can pick up a small 5000btu unit for around $90 here. Or just borrow one of the two my father in law keeps on hand for our camping trips. Nothing like having a tent kept in the 60s when it's 90-100 outside :) Due to current space limitations, and preferred... -
Cold Smoking / Smokehouse - Temps?
Thanks for the replies and the link. After reading more on the various smoking methods, what we have really been doing is more of a warm smoking technique at sometimes lower temps. We have been doing a steady, medium smoke for 4-6 hours, and then letting it tail off for a few more hours... -
Cold Smoking / Smokehouse - Temps?
I am planning to build my smokehouse in the backyard this weekend finally. Once I get that project completed, I have some questions as to when it's safe to begin smoking... I live in the Houston, TX area. Temps here are 75F at night, and 100F+ during the day right now. I grind/stuff all my... -
MES - Sausage Question
I'll have to try the toothpick thing out if I can't keep them from swinging into each other and touching. Thought I had all the S-hooks spaced pretty evenly and as far apart as I could get them. Oddly, even though the links weren't all colored nicely throughout, they all smell very smoky. So...- kron

MES - Sausage Question
No pics to post, as the wife took both digital cameras out of town with her for the weekend somehow, but... Stuffed a 10# batch of Spicy German sausage links last night in some 35mm casings. Ended up making 6 full links, and 2 half links. So I put some S-hooks on the top rack of the MES, and...- kron

Summer Time Smoking?
Thanks guys. Was hoping that was the case. Will try it out this weekend or next. :) -
Summer Time Smoking?
What about if they were pulled before hitting 155F? Say you pulled regardless of internal temp, based on desired level of smoke? And ice bayjed after pulling off to get temps back down quickly. Meat stays cold during grinding and stuffing. Is allowed to get closer to 50-60F just prior to... -
Summer Time Smoking?
Question for you more experienced guys around here... Need to give you a little background first though: * Live in Houston, TX area. Rather warm here. * Have access to MES and a 3'x3'x6' smokehouse made of corrugated tin, with fire/charcoal/wood chunks on tray on floor. I made a few batches... -
MES - Smoke Volume Issue?
I'm not sure if I have an issue or not, someone with more experience, please advise... Cooked two fatties tonight on the MES (30" from Academy). Had the following setup: * 250* temp setting * 1/4" water in pan * 1/2 cup or so of hickory and apple chips (apple 2:1 over hickory) * chips were not...- kron
