Hi from Soldotna Alaska I’ve been making sausage from moose and caribou we get. I have a 3x3x4ft smoker I made with a Bradley smoke generator and a single burner Colman camp stove for the heat. I usually do about 50lbs in a load as everybody wants it so it goes fast. The garlic sausage and cabonesay sticks are what I make mostly. I got a bowl cutter off the internet so I’m doing baloney and hotdogs now to. I also just started to do drycureing with one batch of pepperoni so far.salami is next. I’ve done turkeys for thanksgiving and do salmon in the summer both hot and cold smoke. It’s been lots of fun but there is so much out there to try.
unreel Looks awesome and I am sure you have some amazing hunting stories from up in Alaska!

My name is Gary and I live in the country in southern Minnesota. I have been smoking and grilling for about 10 years. I have a Traeger grill and a homemade wood fired old fashioned smoke house for smoking. I have been making bacon using the dry brine method and now I am going to try the injection method using the maple bacon seasoning/cure. I have a question about the video you and Jonathan made on the bacon. It is clear that the bellies must be soaked for 20 minutes (twice) to remove excess salt using the dry brining method with the pickling for 3-5 days. Do you also have to soak the bacon for 20 minutes (twice) when injecting and wet brining overnight using the half strength brine? -

Hi everyone, just stumbled onto this site looking for wrapping supplies, and decided to check out the community after placing my order. im from Mandan ND, been making sausage cutting our own meat for more years than i can remember. been teaching the young ones pretty hard the last 5 years along with learning more along the way. i use an old GE fridge converted to electric smoker, but am working on building a new smoker from a commercial warming oven, hopefully i can get it to work. favorite rub is a couple i have developed over the years that go great on chicken and pork. i look forward to learning more from the group. Thanks in advance for the opportunity.

Austin HI Garry (Tarp) here in Lake Livingston TX the catfish capitol of TX. Retired Airlines
Started learning how to process and make my on meats in the early 90’s while living in CO. when I found out how much they charge to process elk. Have 2 wood smokers and and electric vertical one you can add smoke to. Just made some summer sausage using Walton’s Excalibur but added high temp monterey pepper jack and whole pepper corn. Came out perfect. Thanks to Ya’ll

Black hoof pigs that free range on a diet of mostly acorns. Going to the ham museum and plan on plenty of ham Tapas and Chorizo in Madrid & Granada. Can’t wait!

Sounds like a pretty great vacation, Ham Museum aren’t words you generally expect to hear together but it sounds awesome!
