Newbie !

Hello from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I've never joined a forum per se before and if I mess up, please let me know.

Its always nice to hear from others that enjoy doing their own smoking of foods that they enjoy. The end product of course is always so much better when you produced it yourself, and a little help from friends is always appreciated.

I've been smoking foods now for about 20+ years, and love to experiment with different woods and herbs. I also enjoy hunting and fishing at Elk Lake, in northern Ontario, at my son's place. The equipment I use at home is an older Cookshack model 050 and a newer

Ameri-que from same manufacturer. I also use a webber platinum which I just re-built, a Barrel-type charcoal smoker and a Kettle type charcoal BBQ as well. I love to smoke game, fish, beef pork and the sausage and salami I make as well. I took some of my gear down to North Carolina just last year and treated the kids to a Blue Crab feast, and BBQ'ed Trigger fish which they won't forget too soon.

Just smoked up 15 lbs. of Maple syrup pork sausage the other day, and got the wonderfull compliment from the wife, "best you ever made"! The worst part though is when she says, don't buy anything more to put in the freezer !

Anyhow, your never too old to learn. Looking forward to picking up even more tips from all of you!

Got some Canadian Bacon in the brine at moment until next Wednesday, after which it goes into smoker with a little Hickory for smoke. Love to send you pictures, however as I send this, its well below zero on the F scale, enough to freeze your finger to the shutter. Better right now to sing-along while you make up your receipes, and keep your food happy !

Don't feel I need a starter course on smokin, however, your never too old to learn somethin new. Tell you what I would like to know. How do you smoke a "Maple Cure Bacon and then Corn-Cob Smoke it. Never could get that receipe from folks in Vermont ! It is to die for, once you have tasted it. My first time was in Montgomery, Vermont, and I started ordering extra bacon, cause the eggs you can have anywhere! Vermont's Maple Cured Ham, Corn-cob smoked is also great!
