"The Maverick ET-732 is a dual-probe, remote thermometer used to monitor both barbecue and food temperatures. The probes plug into a transmitter that sends data to the receiver that can be located up to 300' (91m) away, according to the manufacturer." I have been using this in my smoker for the last...

Looks great! Very simple recipe. Right now I have a pure beef salami in my chamber.
Just salt (& nitrite) Some times we just have to try...

Redzed. You poach the liver for a couple of minutes. Marianski writes the following; "Liver must not be cooked as it will loose its emulsifying properties. In many recipes liver is cooked briefly (blanched) in hot water for up to 5 min to remove any leftover blood but there is no real need for that ...

Redzed; that prosciutto looks absolutely flawless.
Perfectly dried!

Thank you for your work

Do any of you see this kind of txt after the software upgrade? Or is it something I can fix on my Mac?

Yes this site is antiquated. But remains the top site for exchanging useful information. Personally I do not miss all the "see my bacon" pictures that are on many other sites. Please keep up the good work here.

Thank you StefanS
I will probably have to raise my temperature range to match yours for best color. Usually I smoke hams etc. at lower temperatures. I was afraid that holding meat at 140 F for maybe 4 hours could create problems.

Too nice!!!
Do you have an idea of how much saw dust (liter) you use per hour. Temperature and size of smoker? I seem to have problems of creating that beautiful color of your products with out using some heat.
TIA

Hi Redzed
Thank you for your response. Are you staying for Oktoberfest? I was there in ´69 and plan on returning next year. Have a nice stay stay and remember to have a weisswurst.

Tried a little test to see how the pH changed by adding red wine to tap water. PH water 8,9 Yes, really. I checked with the authorities. Red wine 3,4 0,75 liter water which I added 1 % red wine at a time. (7,5 gr) I did the test twice and the numbers are rounded. 1 % 7,5 pH 2 % 6,8 3 % 6,2 4 % 5,5 5...

Hello Redzed Meat contains naturally occuring lactic bacteria, and that is what reduces the pH from neutral 7 immediately after slaughter to around 5.8. I actually thought that the first drop in pH was because of glycolysis which did not include LAB. If time permits I will be doing some very unscien...

I have been working on fermenting salami without starter cultures. Understand the temperature should be less than 15° C for maybe 5 days. High humidity. Add little or no sugars.
If I add 5 % dry red wine is there any way I can know how much the pH would drop? Say the pH of the red wine is at 3,5.

Have you given any thought to making your own cure mix with salt and salt peter and curing the meat old school and let the nitrate break down? This takes longer but it gives the little bugs time to do more work and some say this leads to a better product. I have actually. But I can not get hold of ...
