Does anyone have one of these smokers from Sausage Maker ? It has the red removable roof and looks like a quality smoker. Also can you use the AMAZEN pellet tray in the unit and pellets instead of sawdust or whatever they are showing in the advertisement ?
Thank You

I have a 10 year old Masterbuilt 40 inch Electric Smoker and it is still going strong. I was going to look at adding another one after buying two for my Sons last year and with good results. The models have changed and you cannot talk to anyone at the company. Reviews are not good and the models...
Has anyone cold smoked hard cheeses like Manchego , Pecorino or Parmasan? I have smoked a lot of the softer cheeses with great results but was wondering if the harder cheeses would take the cold smoking?
Thanks

I have had a Vac master Pro 350 for a couple of years now and think it is a really good unit. My question and or problem is that when I use the gallon bags for large products the automatic mode will not reach the full 27.5 mark or seconds and go to the sealing mode. It goes to 18.0 and stalls at...
I want to make Chorizo with a recipe that uses Apple Cider Vinegar. I also want to smoke this recipe and add cure #1 for the long lower temperature smoking time. Would the Apple Cider Vinegar have any negative effects on the Cure #1?
Thanks

Can you still brine a Turkey that has been injected with a broth solution listed on the wrapper? It is a frozen Butterball Turkey. Would the brining make it too salty?

I have made a lot of snack sticks using the recipes and instructions found on this forum. Everything turns out well and the quality and taste are excellent. The problem I have is that using my MES 40 smoker and the AMNPS I cannot reach an internal temperature of 152 degrees that I see...

I have made a lot of BBB from the great information that I have learned from this forum and using the AMNPS from Todd Johnson. The quality of this product is fantastic and I rarely buy store bought bacon anymore. My question is about cutting the BBB with the grain of...
I just got an email from Northern Tool that their 5 LB Sausage Stuffer is on sale for $89.99. I have had this stuffer for over two years now and it has worked well for all sizes of sausage from Salami to Snack Sticks. I did buy the LEM SS Snack Stick tube for the small 19 MM Collagen casings...
On several trips to New York we visited and ate the great Delis up there. They have their Salami hanging all over drying out and hardening. The Salami I make is very similar to there product and I use Cure #1 for my recipe. Is it safe to hang these smoked Salami in a cool area of the home to dry...
I just talked with Masterbuilt today to see if the Father`s Day special mentioned in the last thread was still available and it is not. But a very nice young lady named Hayley informed me that they have over 200 Generation 1 40 inch smokers available for $200.00 plus shipping. Since there are...
I would like to purchase a good dehydrator for drying vegetables and maybe even some jerky. I have learned so much from this site about smoking meats and fish that I was hoping some of you had some experience with this method of processing.
Thanks

We just finished smoking a big batch of Pork cuts and several Pork Butts for BBB. The results were very good but I was wondering if anyone ever cut the smoked pork butts against the grain. We used a meat slicer and cut with the grain and the results were good as long as we fried the slices like...
Does anyone have a simple recipe for BBB that shows the Salt / Sugar ratio or amounts . I like Todd Johnsons recipe using the Country Brown Cure , but I would like to make my own salt sugar mix and then add the spices he uses. I made Canadian Bacon using his recipe with the Country Brown Cure...
Does anyone have a Hobart 2812 meat slicer? I am looking at one that is missing the deflector cover on the side the meat drops through and I was wondering if it is a necessary piece for proper operation and or safety.
Has anyone cold smoked Canadian Bacon? I have 24 pounds of pork loin curing for the next ten days and I wanted to get some ideas from the forum before the smoking day arrives. I would appreciate any advice or comments on this method.
Thanks
