    Well I jumped in and started asking questions immediately before finding this area. I want to thank those of you that already have answered questions! Sorry, I don’t know how to add your names to this post.

    I’m from Silvis IL.

    I was a retail meat cutter for Eagle Foods for thirty years. After they closed, I started working for Rock River Arms as a custom 1911 pistol smith for seventeen years and retired last year.

    I’ve been smoking sausage on and off for the last twenty five years. I also smoke briskets and make Canadian bacon.

    My current smoker is a small SmokinTex that I’ve modified to maintain consistent low temps while still producing smoke.

      How much experience do you have in meat processing or smoking/grilling?

      What is your favorite meat snack or seasoning flavor?

      What is your current smoker or grill?

      Other than that, have fun, and we are excited to have you apart of the Meatgistics community!

      Mike from central Missouri. Just started making sausages, salami, etc this year. As far as outdoor cooking, I have had just about any type of cooker. Currently using an ALFA wood fired oven, MAK pellet and Hunsaker drum. Just ordered the PK100 yesterday. I am really looking forward to diving deeper into processing tasty proteins. Dang glad I found this group!!

                          Team-Blue is compromised of the best of best, think 1st Place Blue Ribbon at the County Fair if you will. Have you ever heard of an orange ribbon? Our leader is Jonathon the face of Walton’s.

                                    Bgoofy1 How to pick which team, well it’s simple. Team blue is made up of great people with a lot of knowledge and willingness to help.

                                    Team orange is just a group of people who want to be like team blue.

                                    (this is all in fun, bot teams are great, just team blue is better… LOL)
