I actually did speak to the guy that built the smoker that I had built. He said I should put a baffle 2/3 of the way down on the inside. He said that should hold some heat. Thanks for replying
Has anyone watched youtube videos titled deepsouth homestead? There are two videos that caught my interest. Danny builds a new smoke house at his cabin. He also has one at his home. Both of his fire boxes are made of brick. I had built a smoke house recently and I would like to know how I can...
Does anyone have a thermo pro thermometer? It is a two unit transformer and receiver and works very well from the house I can watch both temps of smoker and food. However, I am getting some weird readings from food probe. I reads 167, 189 before I even put it in the meat. I am thinking the probe...
Thanks Dave for a great explanation. So in to future I need to either let the bacon sit at room temp for a couple of hours or give some heat not higher the 100 or 120, then apply smoke. Acrid flavor is exactly the correct word.
I recently cured and cold smoked two pork bellies for a friend of mine. The bacon tastes fine, but it has that sort of ash smell and taste to it. Almost is if I gave it too much smoke. Cured for seven days rinsed pat it dry and overnight in frig. Cold smoked it two nights in a row with hickory...
Can someone tell me what is so special about these bags. Why can't you use a regular bag from your vacuum sealer. Has anyone tried? I am interested in the salamis, Capacola, soppressata etc. I think the humidity and temp control is going to be too difficult for me to achieve. Thoughts please.
I am looking at a recipe for sweet lebanon bologna from (Len Poli) culture they want you to use is F-RM- 52, 1/4 tsp. I do not have F-RM but I have LHP, which is quicker. Can I substitute and will the fermenting time be they same?
I thought the idea was to be low and slow? Told the temp should exceed 160 or you will render that fat out of it. So I should go with a gradual temp increase and smoke at the same time and I will get to my IT sooner?
What is the stall? I am thinking it's when your temp stops going up? And will it eventually go up to the temp you are trying to achieve?? I see that quite often.
I am currently looking at a recipe to make hot dogs. The recipe is from Len Poli.It is a pretty simple recipe with not a whole lot of ingredients. However it states to use 1Tbs. of Amesphosphate. Can someone tell me its purpose where you can purchase it and is the a substitute? Maybe a hot dog...
