Chuckwagon, Thanks for the comment on my Csabai, Unfortunately the Computer is Dead (R.I.P.) :mad: :sad: Will be rebuilding it soon though with a new Mother Board, CPU and Video Card. Currently will turn on but will not load operating system. Have tried just about everything so instead of fighting i...

Chuckwagon, I plan on making it as soon as we get to that point of Project B. (Not wanting to get to ahead of the game) I was just reviewing all the recipes to make sure that I have all the ingredient's available. I'm kinda at a standstill on the Chorizo cause I need to pick up some Chile-Pasilla wh...

Chuckwagon, Was looking over the Saddle Bum's Smoky Beef Stick Recipe (aka Semi-Dry Cured Summer Sausage) and came across a question. In the Directions it says "Mix the Cure, Salt, (and Phosphate if used) together with cup of cup of Ice Water". The Question is this which ingredient is considered a P...

Gulyas, My Csabai I think over all looks pretty good. Still a couple of what I call soft spots (Spots that are not as firm as other areas of the sausage). Which leads me to believe that it still needs a couple of days more drying time. The weight loss seems to average out at about .5 oz. per day. (n...

Hello all, The smoke was kind of heavy at times as I was struggling with the screens I was using in my venturi type cold smoker (they kept disintegrating from the heat) So I ended up using the tray inside of the cabinet and manually trying to control the rise in temp. and keep the smoke going while ...

Zedzed I don't have that book yet, I am going to have to order it! If you don't mind I love your version and it would help me get started until I get the book. And I don't want to get you put into jail :smile: but The sheriff (aka Chuckwagon :mrgreen: ) might give you a lite sentence if you post the...

Had some problems with my Homemade Cold Smoker so I ended up improvising a little, But I made it through and I believe I fixed my Cold Smoke problem. Here are a couple of Pictures (Before Smoking and A...

I will be giving it its maiden voyage later today as I will be giving my Csabi its first round of smoke. The Wally World air pump I think just doesn't have a strong enough air flow that I think a slightly larger and better equipped pump would. I have a valve that I could install - but since I am goi...
