    Pink Salmon Nova Lox

    To make sure I understand, 1.65% salt in the curing mix and then whatever else you want to add to the curing mix. As long as there is 1.65% of the fishes weight in Salt in the curing mix?

    Cold weather Curing chamber for newbie

    That looks awesome! If my heating element in my MES 30 is working correctly, would I still need to replace it, like you did with the burner? Is the PID all I need?

    Cold weather Curing chamber for newbie

    I have a 30inch MES with the cold smoker attachment that I'm using for my hot and cold smoking. But, are you suggesting using my MES cabinet for my drying/fermentation chamber? How do I upgrade my electronic control panel?

    Cold weather Curing chamber for newbie

    Anyone have any tips for a curing chamber that's NOT built out of an old refrigerator? I have some 3inch foam board, a heat lamp, window unit ac, and a cool mist humidifier. I'm thinking with my average temps being below 40 for January and February I could make an insulated box with my...

    Masterbuilt cold smoker kit

    Just tried mine out tonight in 32 degree weather with no pipe extension.  It brought my temp up to 38-40.  Not a very significant increase.  My dry wood chips lasted over 8 hours.  I love it.  Cheaper to refill the chips than buy the amazn wood chips.  I can collect apple twigs and use in this...

    Smoked Salmon Constructive Criticism

    I brined the fish in a wet brine for 24 hours.  Dont recall how much water I used.  It was a tad bit too salty for my liking, not sweet enough, and a little more smoke would have been good.  Still very tasty, just not the perfection that I am seeking.

    Cold smoking in cold temperatures

    Those are both good points and observations.  I think I will turn my cold smoker off when the meat is finished.  Take the meat out.  Then turn on the hot smoker just to burn up all the moisture left inside after.  Just maybe this will have a self cleaning oven type affect too.

    Smoked Salmon Constructive Criticism

    Here is a video of my first smoked salmon attempt.  I would appreciate any tips or advice from you salmon smoking pros. Some things I've learned since then: -Get rid of aluminum foil under fillets. -Use foil to line drip pan and water pan for easy clean up. -Open damper wide open. -Don't...

    Cold smoking in cold temperatures

    I am in Wisconsin.  Its been pretty cold.  Below 32F for the highs.  I just picked up a masterbuilt cold smoker attachment and was wondering the same thing.  I have some pheasant legs that I would like to cold smoke.   I am going to try smoking them for a few hours then baking them without a...

    SQWIB's Corned Beef Gone Wild

    Cooked in the crock pot for about 6 hours or so.  Just long enough to where it was almost falling apart when I got it out, but not too long to where it wouldn't stay together.  Immediately wrapped in plastic wrap hot and put into refrigerator to slice the next day. Came out delish and...
