Smoking with sugar cane

Just was watching a episode on Project Smoke, where the host was using sugar cane to smoke things. Was just wondered if anyone here ever had any experience in using it. He said it added a mild, sweet flavor.

Numerous times, I've read about odors in organ bladders, casings, etc. Instead of water, I soak them in vinegar. Change it every maybe 6 hrs. and re soak. Rinse well in water than use. Have not run into any offensive odors afterwards. I'm no pro, so if anyone sees a problem with this, please let me ...

That's a problem I'm envious of. Be safe up there and good luck this year.

FYI- I tried using the sugna on my first 2 but had a problem mixing the flour and lard. Next time I'll try to melt the lard on very low heat and incorporate the flour in to form a paste. Any input on what I was doing wrong would be appreciated.

Here in NY, NYSDEC won't let you shoot them when and if you see them. You have to contact them, so they can set up traps, etc. to catch the sounder, not just kill 1 or 2. Reason being is that they just spread out further into groups. Don't know what I'll be doing if I see any. I'm thinking, Shoot, S...

Again, we don't have them in WNY but a guy from a club I belong to, said "what's the problem, my brother in Texas shoots one and the party is on." So I wrote a article why we don't want them as they'll eat anything and you can't kill enough of them to keep up with their reproduction rates. As good a...

Down here, the preserves bring them in for hunters, tree falls breaking the enclosure fence and that's how some of them get out, Yeah saw Hogzilla. It became quite the TV star.

Hey BB. Question I've got is are those Russian boars, as opposed to feral swine. The hair, body shape, etc lead me to think they're Russian boar. Red, things aren't always as they appear. We don't have feral swine here in WNY but some guys are trying to introduce them. A whitetail deer will have 1 t...

BB, don't feel bad. I was making smoked cheese for the first time and left the smoker on a low temp, with cheese in it. Came back next day and I had a bunch of soft cheese tear drops. No problem, cooled them down, ate them and learned to put a note on the smoker to shut it down as a reminder. Never ...

Thanks, BB. Sounds like KISS principle kicks in again- Keep It Simple Stupid. Glad I'm able to call on all of you for guidance.

I'm getting into dry curing- pork, venison, whole cuts of meats, etc- and maybe leave it in awhile longer till I get more experienced.

Question I have is are there any dangers or problems with leaving meats in a cure too long. I'd rather err on the side of caution then take it out early and get sick.
