Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

Biltong R us.
Sorry for the lousy photo with all the reflections off the box.
First taste test tells me I used too much salt but edible nonetheless.
I'll learn as I go.

Yes mate, you will learn as you go. Keep us informed.

PS: I didn't find the pictures anywhere near distracting.

Cheers Roy. I didn't plan to get in the photo

Fancy looking Biltong box, but inspires one to make some more.

Better box than I could make

Well the day of giving thanks is about over. Two out of three kids were here, we'll all get together at their sisters house for Christmas.

I cured and smoked a whole bird, I haven't done that in years. The reason being is that now all you can get at the store is pre-pumped birds, I tried using one and injecting it but the meat came out 'Mushy' so I gave up.

However I decided to give Duncan's 5 day brine soak a go. It came out pretty well, it diffidently didn't need and salt, but it wasn't unpleasant.

There's no pics of the meal but here's one out of the smoker and another one brought up to temp.





The meat was very moist and tender

Hope you and all my states side friends have a great thanksgiving Roy!
That looks good!
I see tc selling his traeger on Facebook. Seems to be doing a fall purge down there..
Bet thats seen a few turkeys in it’s time.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Yea Tc has been cleaning out his collection. He tells me that typically he BBQ outside 4-5 times a week so he's invested in a very nice unit. He's having it custom built to have some options that the base doesn't have so it'll be about 6-8 weeks till they get it built/packaged and delivered to TN.

Here's the base model: https://lonestargrillz.com/products/...-pellet-smoker

Dishes are damn near done (Thank GOD for a dishwasher) so I'd better get with the program.

That's All Folks!

That is a great looking bbqer

Agreeed, that lone start smoker looks like a serious upgrade. 3/16 thick cooking chamber steel, damn!
Glad he’s doin well.
