New Braunfels/Rockport Texas
I have been hanging around for a while and thought it was time to join.  55 yo, old enough to know better but will probably try it once anyway.  I live in New Braunfels Texas. I have a weekend place in Rockport and a ranch in Rocksprings.  I am the electric operations manager for a mid-size public utility.  My hobbies are hunting, fishing and cooking.  

I have a 8"X10" old school smoke house that I use for cold smoking.  It has a small AC unit and my smoke pot sits inside on the floor.  I use the AC to keep the heat down while smoking.  I am not an offset smoker fan but I do have a 250 gallon smoker/BBQ on a trailer.  I have a UDS, gas grill, Big Easy and a couple Webers.

I moved the dry sausage into the house today to finish drying.  It is wet outside and the sausage only needed a couple more days to dry.  My equipment is old school.  I have a 1 and 1 1/2 gallon enterprise stuffer.  My grinder is a 32 attached to a 40 to 1 gear reducer and a 3/4 hp wash down motor.  next time I set the sausage table up I will post a picture  We made 275 pounds of sausage, buck sticks, salami our version of a hot dog.  The dry sausage in the picture is the last thing out of the smokehouse.

I started my first batch of bacon today BBB and belly.  Thanks to everyone here for posting recipes and methods.  I went with Bears recipe.  I also make my own sauerkraut and boudin.  

I look forward to hanging out Jim
