Biltong questions?
I've read a bunch of the old threads, but there isn't much in the last year or so? Did everyone decide they liked jerky better? I've been wanting to try my had at some biltong and have a 2lb piece of venison I'd like to try it with. Since there really isn't a need for heat, other than to...- tgil

Brisket hit IT too soon, now what?
This is my second attempt at brisket. First try was too tough, and I cooked it by time. I read more on here and decided I needed to use IT as my guide. I also read 195 was good for tender, pulled. brisket (although I can't find that now). I have a 9lb packer that I put on the smoke about 15:00... -
BB membrane?
Several weeks back I caught baby backs on sale and stocked up. I got a couple of racks out this afternoon and got them ready to rub down and cook tomorrow. First rack went fine. When I went to remove the membrane from the second, I couldn't get it done? It was like there was no membrane to... -
First BBB, with a little Q-view
I had a couple of butts left over from making sausage with the venison I took this past season. I've been reading about this BBB on here for a long time and finally decided to give it a shot. After de-boning, I was left with a 9lb and 10lb slab of meat. I used Pop's brine recipe and let...- tgil

BBB ???
I jumped on the bacon boat and made my first batch with some butts I had left from processing this year's venison. I used Pop's brine and everything went as expected, except for taste? Is is supposed to taste like bacon, or ham? Mine came out with a taste and texture of store bought ham! ...- tgil

I think I'm in love!
The landowner where I deer hunt has anenormous amount of scrap metal laying around. The last couple of weekends of deer season I noticed he seemed to be gathering a bunch of it up like he was getting ready to take it to sell. I pulled in today to hunt feral hogs and saw this beauty sitting on...- tgil

60lbs of Venison turned into tastey greatness!
I had 60lbs of venison to grind so I gathered up what I needed. I was out of the spice packs I normally used so I went to Cabela's and bought boxed kits. I have a friend that has been wanting some ring bologna and I saw a kit that said "Old Fashioned Bologna" so I picked it up thinking it... -
Made a little batch of venison SS with q-view
Took advantage of a day off this weekend and made a 50lb batch of jalapeno/cheese summer sausage from one of the doe I took this season. I ran the meat through my small plate, added packaged seasoning from Clifco Spices, dried jalapenos, and high temp cheddar. I stuffed in 3" mahogany... -
Got my AMNPS and want to try Hot Links
I have a home brew smoker made from an old Coke machine, heated by an element in the bottom. I bought a AMNPS for my smoke source because I didn't care for the original owner's design. All of that said, I'm going to try some hot links for my first smoke with the AMNPS. They will have... -
Pork loin
I'm here looking for info on doing a loin. I have enjoyed doing babybacks to the point my family is tired of eating them. I thought I'd get a loin and try it. My thinking was I wouldn't be paying for bone that I'm throwing out. I was hoping to cook the same way as the BBs but I see that's... -
Need a little help from the experts
I bought a "coke box" conversion. Long story short, bought through son of guy that used the thing and he knew absolutely nothing about it other than he liked the sausage that came out of it. So I'm looking for any tips that any of you can give to get my first smoke done in this thing. This is...- tgil

Got a little piggy
We're having a family get together this weekend and I volunteered to smoke a rear quarter from a hog. I was surprised when I went to get it out of the freezer and found it was a whole pig, about 15lbs. I thawed it yesterday, put some rub on it last night and will fire up the smoke when I get off... -
Why is Winter Time preferred for smoking sausage?
I have a new to me, Coke box conversion that I can't wait to try a batch of Venison Summer Sausage in. I have to get it wired up but have everything else I need besides the cool temps. My question is will 100 plus outside temps have an adverse affect on the outcome of the sausage? ... -
Toxic Insulation?
Doing a fridge conversion and never thought about this until I found this forum. I've done a search, but struck out. I found where someone mentioned units built after a certain date have the suspect type of insulation. Can anyone tell me what that date is? I am going to be cold smoking so I...- tgil

Howdy!
I stopped by here to find info on a fridge build. Looks like a very informative forum with a lot of folks willing to help out. I spend a lot of time on Texasbowhunter.com as I am relatively new to bowhunting and it too is full of great people that want to help out the newbies. My hobbies are...
