    Smoker suggestions

    So my friend asked for some help deciding on a smoker for sausage. They make lots of Kobascia and he wants to be able to have his own way to cook. Roughly 50# a go would be nice he says they low smoke at like 150-160 for 7-8 hours. I've never done sausage so I'm here looking for suggestions...

    I bought a whole pork belly now what

    No doubt patience would have served me better as I tried to treat them closer to ribs but they're not ribs. Also the belly from Costco has no skin therefor no cracklings

    I bought a whole pork belly now what

    Yeah I'll buy it again but just to slice as fresh bacon. I got impatient it was edible but I think id prefer it for pulled and that's counter productive in my eyes.

    I bought a whole pork belly now what

    I bought one of the whole pork belly from Costco because why wouldn't you. Looking for ideas. Seems kind of a waste to cook the whole thing for pulled even though it's probably amazing so I'm looking for ways to render the fat and get a nice end result. I'm using my pellet cabinet smoker...

    Pellet Pro hopper first cook. Now questions

    Well upon my suspicion and recomendation from Dennis I opened up a bigger hole in the top. I still need to come up with a way to close it but it's not going to rain for a while so I got time. I burned the rest of the pellets I had today and it held temp fine. Ash was still more than I wanted...

    Pellet Pro hopper first cook. Now questions

    Ok never had or been around a pellet cooker before. First off I installed this hopper onto the bottom of my old smoke vault the propane burner has failed several times causing much soot inside and not a clean burn so for the time being until I build something else or find a nice old fridge...

    hard smoked jerky

    Well that's not a whole lot warmer than your dehydrator so I think I would give it more time on the smoker My dehydrator takes every bit of 12 if not more pending on how full it is

    hard smoked jerky

    What temp are you smoking it at? My only suggestion as you are running now is less time on dehydrator. Or raise the temp or time on the smoker and ditch the dehydrator I don't use cure on my jerky either. Once cooked I vac pack and freeze. I don't last long enough to need cure.

    First electric smoker build, need help!

    It will cost a few more pennies but maybe instead of concrete get some firebricks.  will hold heat better and you can take them out if you want to move it.  just an idea

    Should I get a pellet grill/smoker?

    I've got a smoke vault that i have never had a ton of luck with and actually now it has a collapsed burner for the second time. I'm going to retro fit it with a pellet pro hopper so that may be an option for you if you can't brin yourself to trash your current smoker and still have some money...

    Anyone try the McCormick line of rubs?

    The Montreal is way too salty for my tastes anymore I can't hardly stand it. I use a lot of garlic pepper as its a great mix then I'll add other stuff to it plus it has a little salt. Of course I mostly am seasoning Steaks and haven't smoked much recently. Another one I found at sams club is...
