Bodey30 I was browsing around your website and I noticed you injected a Vanilla Porter into Brisket! Did you inject it with anything else, if so, what? How did it taste? I love porters and I love brisket so I cannot see how that could be anything other than amazing!

Hey y’all checking in from Greensboro, NC. I have been making kielbasa and summer sausage for about 24 years and smoking of course. Just built a curing chamber and am always looking for new things to make! Canning ,pickling, curing, smoking, you name it!
-
deplorablenc1 We’d love to see some pics of your curing chamber set up! Maybe in the Bragging Board section?!

Hey everyone l’m new to Walton’s, but have been bitten by the home meat processing bug.
I’m retired and find this very satisfying and rewarding. I love to experiment with meat processing as I’ve always wanted to get into it.
I’m from Central Florida area and been enjoying learning all about this home processing thing. My grandson got me into this with making venison jerky. It has grown into much more the past six months or so. I’ve made jerky, snack sticks and now exploring sausages too.
I’ve made venison snack sticks, combination venison/pork snack sticks, venison jerky, pork breakfast and Mild Sweet Italian sausages. I started with pre-mixed spices for the jerky and snack sticks but eventually want to start making them the Waltons way.
The first sausages I made was from trial and error recipes found on the inter web with fair success. I’m also a pretty good grilled too. I use a Treager Wood pellet smoker/grill but have desire to one day have a fair size smoker/smokehouse.
I’m looking to up my game so bare with me as I will be asking a lot of questions.
I look forward to sharing ideas and suggestions with you all.

Hey fellow meatheads i never did introduce myself, I’m Jeremy from North Dakota. Been here for awhile just never really asked anything or posted anything till recently…I have a few posts on here. I love to read all the recipes/stories /and information… there’s a bunch. I been making sausage for probably 10 yrs just the usual sticks/jerky/brats/and ring sausage. If anyone has any info on a homemade propane smoker I’m all ears…I have one that I used a side burner off a grill…but it gets way to hot…it’s not insulated basically a 1/8 thick metal 2x2x4 box… I’ll post pics in a few days

Derby, KS I am a classically trained chef, but not working in the restaurant or food service industries. I enjoy the science behind the hobby and get to experiment with lots of different processes and products. Looking forward to the info sharing and smoking community craziness!

Fijidreamer Welcome to the board, you aren’t far from us at all, we are just up the road in Wichita! Nice to have a classically trained chef on here! I think we have one or two others, or at least some that appear to be so please feel free to let us know your thoughts on what we say when it comes to kitchen cooking!
With your username I assume you are either from Fiji or have visited? What an eye-opening culinary experience that was for me, they eat almost everything from the ocean and cook a lot of it ceviche and most surprisingly they have cattle that just roam the island or at least on Vanua Levu and any village that wants some beef can harvest them!

Austin I’m from Overland Park, KS. I have an electric smoker that I love using. I found this site looking for jerky seasoning. I just received mine and am going to make some jerky next weekend. I enjoy smoking. I have a charcoal grill that I am not good at using. I just bought a used gas grill to try out. I really like that. I think I will be upgrading to a better gas grill next year. I am trying new recipes and learning about grilling now that I can control the heat better. I had no luck with the charcoal grill but I do love charcoal grills. This looks like a place where I am going to learn a lot.

mecord I love Overland Park, my sister lives up there now. We are from upstate NY but I relocated here and then a few laters she camer here by chance for her husbands work (though I like to think me saying how much I loved it our here helped) The first time I went to visit her I was very jealous, I always joke that she got the pretty part of Kansas! Wichita is great, has awesome people who are friendly and welcoming…but it is not a pretty part of the country.
Also, I am sure you’ve tried it but in case you have not there is a Pizza place in KC called grinders that I demand we have every time I go up there! Also, Scimeca’s makes amazing sausages up in that neck of the woods. You probably dont need me to point out awesome places in your area though huh?!

Jonathon it is really pretty here, you’re right. I love Grinder’s and Scimeca’s Italian sausage. I have tried other Italian sausage and they are horrible compared to Scimeca’s. We had a man just transfer from here to Houston. He really hated to leave he loved being in Overland Park, too.

Hello fellow carnivores! Doug checking in from Western Colorado. I have been smoking and bbq’ing for 20 years or so and still feel like a novice sometimes. I don’t do competitions, but don’t get many complaints at home:) I have a SmokeHollw Gas grill/charcoal smoker combo and a Smokey Mountain wood smoker. I mainly do brisket, butt’s & fish, but I’m getting more and more into sausages and Jerky. Read a few messages here and really like the feel and attitude of the board and it’s members.
