Or possibly people interested in discussing can ask the pertinent questions without being a smartass about it... but that's just too sensible. Like what I already did on another much more active forum. I can see why it's more active since they just asked about it and discussed without the smartass a...

Sausage Casing Tough
What can I do to help my smoked sausage casing come out more tender? As it is now I can barely bite through the casing when its done.

First Buckboard Bacon
I have a freezer full of butts so I thought I'd give buckboard bacon a shot. I have made belly bacon and it turned out well so I'm hoping this is just as good. Here's the pork roast after I deboned and split it: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/content/type/61/id/207346/ And here they are sealed up ...

Corned Beef Pastrami
First time making pastrami. The brisket was on sale so I thought I'd give it a try. I have cured a bunch of pork but this is my first time with beef. I cut the point off of a packer brisket and used it to make some delicious jalapeno cheddar dogs. I cut the flat in half and put it curing Friday befo...

I am going to lower the ginger and black pepper and increase the tomatoes. I can add some parsley for color, too. I always write my recipes in percentages so I write the ingredients on the board and put the weights as I calculate them based on the green weight of the meat. I used cheap ready grated ...

[USA] Chicken Parmesan Tomato Basil
Second time making this one. It came out very good but I think next time I'll put a little less black pepper and ginger, and a little more tomatoes. I made some dried tomatoes in the dehydrator then soaked them in olive oil for about a week. The meat: 4 leg quarters and 4 BS breasts. I ground the sk...

just cut 1 end off the casing and they slide right out. If you use these don't prick the air bubbles as they split like nothing from any start. Makes them very easy to peel but they bust easily if you give them a start. You can see in the poached pic where I stuck in the probe the meat is protruding...

Cellulose Casing HotDogs
First time making hotdogs. I used 3 pounds ground chuck and 2 pounds ground boston butt. We poached a few and smoked the rest. Definitely like the smoked ones better but they were more like skinless sausage. The recipe: http://i.imgur.com/sjdhNw7.jpg?1 Chuck http://i.imgur.com/XOJTYnD.jpg Butt spagh...
