Roll Call (Start Here First)

HerbcoFood Welcome aboard & welcome to the neighborhood. Glad to have someone on board from the great Cypress, Texas. The buck sticks sound great, tell us more about them. You will find a whole lot of good information on meat processing here, snack sticks that you can make yourself for less, & much, much more. Don’t forget, we love the Blues.
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.

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.

julian I don’t think you would any condemnation from this group, everyone understands there is more than one way to get something done. I just took my brisket out of the smoker and finishing in the oven. This is the sight of sous vide finishing also.

I guess I never said hello in this thread. I don’t read instructions very well so following Austin original post:
Where are you from (city/state)? … New Iberia, Louisiana…
How much experience do you have in meat processing or smoking/grilling? … been doing it all my life (and I’m 50)…
What is your favorite meat snack or seasoning flavor? … I love jerky, love snack stick and sad to say that I have never made my own. As for seasoning flavors I am partial to South Louisiana and creole seasoning, absolutely love India and South Asian… and spicy foods!
What is your current smoker or grill? I own a Louisiana Gill pellet smoker and a gas grill.

julian No condemnation here. Many feel that the product has received the amount of desired smoke. Finishing in the oven is just a way to control the heat better. If it works for you. Good. Just have fun with it.

Dr_Pain So, you are just a youngster! I’ll just hold on to my age until you catch up.
And I so agree with you about Louisiana seasonings and the India foods are among my favorite cuisines.
You and I know what is spicy, but so many people from other parts of the Great States of the United States do not know the difference between great flavor and too hot. Burning is not a flavor or spice, nor is pain (no pun intended). Things like onions, garlic, bell peppers, and so many other spices and seasonings are important to great food. Don’t have to hurt or impress people to be very flavorful…

julian Welcome aboard & welcome to the neighborhood Julian. No condemnation at all. In fact, I once did something like that for years if it was extremely cold outside. I would set the old cast iron smoke box up in the oven with the desired wood shavings & set the oven temp as ideal for smoking. My wife did not mind at all, especially as we did the wood burning stove a lot in those days to, & she never thought it was too smoky & the end results were delicious, without going in & out constantly to man the old stick burner. I can’t say that I’ve heard everyone’s family would approve of that, but I understand.
