    Tried a starter culture, think it went into overdrive! W/QVIEW

    I was running out of Summer Sausage and Snack Stix and have been wanting to try out a starter culture to see how it would turn out. I've used the encapsulated citric acid and fermento in the past and wasn't real pleased with the end result. Butcher and Packer had a recipe using the LHP starter...

    Vacuum tumbler/marinader

    I've been wanting one of these for a long time, but couldn't find one that I thought was worth it as the commercial ones start at about $1000. I usually marinate a couple chops or chicken breasts in a 1/2 gal mason jar vacuumed with my food saver. Now that I started doing a lot more jerky since...

My question is, can I put all three racks in one foil wrap together, or should I wrap each rack separately...

    First time Butt with QVIEW

    Ok, this is the first time I've cooked a butt, without converting it to sausage first!! I followed the procedures I read here, including using SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce. Man, have I been missing out! I can't believe moist and tender it was after 9.5 hours in the smoker, and another 2 wrapped...
