Roll Call (Start Here First)

@JohnG-0 welcome to the community. A lot of information here and folks with variety of experience willing to share. Jump into the conversations, share and ask. I would go with a breakfast sausage (Holly) and a fresh style of brat (Blue Ribbon). Lots to learn here.

Hi everyone, my name is John from El Dorado, KS, just outside of Wichita. New to sausage making and looking for some good recipes and grilling tips. Made hatch green chili pork brats last weekend and made Jambalaya and extra links for lunches. Loved both. Any other suggestions on seasonings or meats to try? Recipes? I’m liking the Excalibur Seasonings with some spice especially the hatch green chili and hot buffalo wing. What are you cooking lately?
@johng-0 welcome aboard. You are in for a good time with the folks in this community.

Cypress, Texas
Novice in meat processing, however been grilling/smoking since I was old enough to check the fire.
What is your favorite meat snack or seasoning flavor? Favorite meat snack are the buck sticks the processor I use: Pepper jack cheese with jalapenos, 50/50 pork to venison mixture.
What is your current smoker or grill? All Seasons Feeder’s off set, All Seasons Feeder’s Table top and Weber Genesis Natural Gas Grill. Having to have multiple propane bottles and worrying about refills is overrated!

https://www.instagram.com/herbcofood/ - Best place to follow my culinary desires if you will.HerbcoFood interested in learning what a buck stick is? With the seasoning and mix ratio im sure its nothing more than what we call a snack stick or landjaeger. What is the diameter of your buck sticks? I make mine at 19mm. My favorite top 4 flavors is…
#1 Bourbon Peppercorn
#2 Ranch
#3 Fajita
#4 Willies
Current smoker is the Pro Smoker 100SS 240 volt electric

twilliams Buck sticks = snack sticks = slim jims, it all just depends what region you live in.

calldoctoday They are the exact same as snack sticks/slim jims, just some regions have different names for them. I don’t use the processor for everything but snack sticks is one of them.

So I was looking at all the new members in our community, and I thought it might be nice to bring this thread back up so maybe people could introduce themselves.

Ok guys, going to try this again. If you new to the community, introduce yourself here to the rest of us. Tell us a little about yourself.

Oh, I suppose I’ve never introduced myself…
Checking in from just outside Toronto, Canada. No fancy equipment here, just a kettle and briquettes via the snake method.
I also take my butts out of the kettle after 4-6 hours, wrap it, and cheat using the oven to get it to 195-200. I await your condemnation!

julian Welcome. I cut my teeth smoking on a Weber Kettle 30-40 years ago. I learned to smoke ribs, roasts, birds and fish on it and all was edible! It’s a good place to start. You’ll find that this community is very knowledgeable & helpful.

julian Welcome aboard. So glad to have you join the Meatgistics family.
We’re here to help each other out, so just ask, and I am positive you will get multiple members willing to lend a hand. You will soon discover that there in no one way to this madness.
As far as someone condemning, just email me if it happens. I’m primed to take on anyone who would even consider doing that.
Here’s the plug. If it were to happen, it would be from a member of the orange team. LOL I’m sure you’ll learn about that soon enough.
I love the terminology. Kettle. You know, that is probably a better description than many of us use. Good Job.
The fact that you know the temperatures shows that you know what you are doing.
Feel free to jump into any discussion we have. Again Welcome aboard.
