Casabasi Well I am on the end of the second day. Smoke tomorrow and taste. Having trouble with my pellet smoker. I think my pellets have too much moisture. I did put them in the microwave to dry them out. They would go out. Started at 2.5 lb now at 1.94 lb. the smoker never got above 65 deg's They s...

Need more guidance. The casabi has cure 1 in it. How long will this last as the meat is not cooked. Will follow the program as suggested. Second day in the fridge. Cooked up a patty left from stuffing and it is tasty. Mike

Casabai Overnight in the fridge then stuffed. Had some air pockets to prick. Can't hang in the fridge, so I put them in a brown paper bag. Now wait 3 days and then smoke. Had a small portion left, I will fry it up tonight. Had to get back to work. http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/grasshoppe...

Hope I got the casabsi recipe right. Stuff and put in the fridge for 3 days.Then cold smoke for 3 hrs and back in the fridge for one day. Then cold smoke for 8 hr and back in the fridge.???????

Mexican cooks often use several varieties of fresh and/or dried chiles/paprikas for one recipe, because their chief goal in chile usage is not so much heat but flavour, which varies strongly between the different varieties. The resulting flavours are very characteristic and cannot be found in any o...

Beginner question again. On the casabai recipe it calls for sweet and hot hungarian paprika. I live in a rural area, but we have a heath food store in the next town. they said the hungarian paprika is sweet. The did not know anything about the hot. This is what I bought. All ground items, ancho pepp...

Sawhorseray do you have a sausage recipe for the honker. That is what comes through here. Never heard of a specklebelly. The boys that hunt have a chocolate lab also. She can catch a pheasant in the air, don't need a gun. She is getting older now and starting to injure herself, but a lot of heart.

Snagman or CW can you go over the cold smoking process for me. I have an electric smoker and a A-maze-n pellet smoker box. If I am right, it would be the pellet box and no heat.? Some heat from the burning pellets. No internal temperature, just drying.? All confused and want to do it right.

Thanks! One of my boys, wife bought him a dehydrator for his game meat. Back to that dam goose breast for jerky. Thanks for the link CW. I printed in out and will make sure he gets it. If he poison himself, I won't get a Christmas present. This class is a great education. CW quote Yup pards, many fo...

Question Is the stuff at the mini mart cured with #2 because it sits there a long time. I have never seen any mold on the outside. My wife loves the cactus jack, She says you can even taste the meat. I did not crack the caraway or toast it, next time I will.

CW I will take a copy also. Thank you for making the PH simple for me. If it has lost 30% of its original weight the Ph should be under .086. in most cases. Thank you for your explanations and keeping it simple to understand. Too technical and I will probably get lost and change hobbies. I am just i...

Thanks CW, Looks like butcher & packer here I come and get the real stuff. Soy protein concentrate.

Thank you Baconologist. That might be the answer. With the boys I have a hard time with just breasting the bird. (waste not want not) Sausage maybe the answer if they get fat and skin as in the link you gave me. I did print it out.

CW said no question is to dumb. On the hot dog recipe you gave JBK's. Would carnations non fat milk be ok instead of soy protein concentrate. It is more readily available.

Thanks ssorllih I will go to poultry/game section. It was a lot of work and did not taste very good.
