    Cure Question

    Yup, cure #2 at 1/4 teaspoon per 1-1/4 pound. The main difference is cure#1 is salt and sodium nitrite. Cure #2 is salt, sodium nitrite, and sodium nitrate. Cure #1 is used when you are going to be cooking the meat, and cure #2 is used for dry cured meats. Think of cure #2 as a time released cure.

    what's fatting out?

    what's fatting out?

    Don't run your smoker any higher than 165 and you should be able to avoid the fat melting. Sausage is done at 152 degrees then plunge into ice water to cool to 100 degrees. Keep sausage from being shriveled up.

    Char-griller Kamado Kooker 16619

    Dan, I have had my Kamado Kooker for some years now. You should start with a 1/4 of a chimney of lump coal at most. Keep the vents open to only 2 at the top and almost closed at the bottom.
