    dried beef

    Greetings to all. I find myself with limited time recently,and would like to make dried beef for chipped beef gravy. I have seen a video using Morton tenderquick,however,it is 58 seconds long and rather vague. I realize that this method is probably considered cheating,but I am short on time. Is...

    bacon wood

    I havent seen snow like that since March 13th,1993 blizzard. 36.5 hours plowing in one shot with 2 day clean-up after. Rather eat some bacon next to the wood stove.

    CB 2nd try

    I have found that pork loins brined in purified salt,powdered dextrose, and cure#1 if you like,makes a great canadian bacon. Put in casings and heavy smoke after 5 hrs. is great

    bbq sauce

    I am sure,as they say, everyone has a belly button,so they all have the best bbq sauce. I am tired with bottle sauce and wonder what is great. Never had memphis,or St.Louis but sounds good.

    collagen casings

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I will just get some new casings. I am 2 hrs from Buffalo,so the supplies are quick. No sense in wasting time and meat on questionable casings. Never thought about looping around dowels. Duh,Should have thought of that. That is why I am pleased that I am included...

    collagen casings

    I have had 19mm collagen casings from sausagemaker for some years. They have been in fridge always. are they still good for venison sticks? I have a 5 lb stuffer and hope the small tube will be OK. Rytek has in his book that they cannot be linked,do I just lay on trays in smoker?
