      Checking in from Nelson, New Zealand. I have already retired and making meat products for my leisure is just fun. I first started out in 2002 with making cheese and kept it going until a few years back when the price of milk here did not make it worth the while. But as from 2004 I also started making my own farmer sausages and later trying salami which was a disaster on the first try. Now I have a grip on the know-how and make fermented, dry and fresh sausages all the time. I started to smoke products with my BBQ, but it did not go well. I bought a drum BBQ, cooker, smoker and I quickly realized it was to small. I watch some guys on YouTube and made my own little smoking devise, got a 44 gallon drum and now it just work perfect. I hope to get some great ideas here from all the nice smoking cooking people on Meatgistic!

            I recently made a batch of salami, it is ready to munch, but I have a friend in the north island who will be visiting me next month. I really want to hand him one of the salamis, but the salami is already down to 35% of weight loss, I am worried by the time he arrive it will be too dry! I wiped it with olive oil to try and stop it from drying out more, can anybody give some advice here please. Salami never live longer than 30 to 35% weight loss, then it is gone!!!

                          Chris from outside Chicago. Been grilling and making bbq for several years now. Started with a WSM 22" and now have a Rec-Tec 700. Have been getting into grinding my own meat and making sausages. Found Walton’s for casings and couldn’t be happier with them. Looking forward to learning alot more from this group!
