    Webber kettle mod

    I got tired of not having a work table when I was grilling.  I always had two grills side by side so I could use the other one for a table. I like the weber grill that has the work table but it is $349!  I built this for about 40 bucks.

    anyone ever make jerky out of breakfast sausage?

    I have twenty pounds of sausage from a hog we had butchered.  My family isn't much on eating sausage now that I have learned to make bacon.  I just mixed up a batch of bottom round and ground beef to marinade over night and I was thinking of trying to throw a pound of sausage in the dehydrator...

    Mold growning on my jerky, what am i doing wrong?!

    When I make jerky strips with ground beef I get mold growing three or four weeks later.  I use lem seasoning and cure(pink),93/7 ground sirloin,  dry in a lem dehydrator and store in food saver bags.  What the heck am I doing wrong?

    Tender Quick has me confused!

    The bag says 1 tablespoon per pound of meat.  People say 1 1/2 tsp per 5lbs of meat. My last batch was pretty salty, is the 1 1/2 tsp per 5lbs correct?

    Anyone soak jerky meat in water like bacon before smoking???

    Just got to thinking about if my jerky is going to turn out too salty from the Tender Quick in my wet marinade. When I do bacon, I soak it for an hour or so then remove it and put it in the fridge to dry before smoking. Do you do that with jerky too?

    anyone try using sausage spices when making bacon?

    I recently had a wild hog butchered.  I told them to save the belly instead of grinding it up as sausage.  When I was prepping the bellies with cure and stuff, I thought Id sprinkle some sausage seasoning on one slab to see what it would taste like.  Anyone try it before?

    Bad turn out!

    Went to the grocery store to get some jerky meat.  I picked out a nice top round and gave it to the butcher to slice up.  He told me that all the jerky people use bottom rounds instead of top.  Bottom dont look as lean to me, but he is the meat man so I let him slice me up some about  an 1/8". ...

    meat going bad?

    Bought two top rounds at Sams the other day.  I noticed yesterday that it had a small brown place on it so I went ahead and sliced it up to get it ready for marinating.  Does this look like the meat is spoiled? Checked it out this morning and it looks like there is another brown place forming. ...

    Warning Pro food slicer owners, I need help!

    My mother-in-law gave me her Warning Pro FS150 so I could make some jerky.  I think it is missing a washer or spacer or something.  It kinda makes a clicking sound when its running.  It seems like the blade is too close to the housing on the back too. There isnt a washer or spacer on the nut...

    Marinated loins on sale, could you use for canadian bacon???

    Local grocery store has marinated pork loins on sale this week.  My wife is one of those crazy coupon ladies and has coupons for the loins.  The store doubles coupons, so the loins go from 8.99 to 2.99.  I figure they are cheap enough to give it a try.  What do y'all think? The marinade probably...

    Round 2 begins tonight!

    Just picked up 12lbs of "pre-bacon" from the butcher.  Hoping it will thaw completely before I go to bed so I can get the cure on.  My first attempt turned out OK, but I didn't alter the sugar cures recipe on the package at all.  It just called for the cure only. It was kinda salty for my taste...

    First long pork butt smoke

    I always rushed my butts cause lack of time and attention span.  Never had one that I could pull, always had to slice.  Now that I have my GMG Daniel Boone pellet pooper,  I figured Id give it a shot.  Rubbed down yesterday morning.  Dropped it in the smoker at 1AM and went to bed.  Just checked...
