    Couldn't get the color I wanted on Kielbasa, any advice?

    Ryan, Looks like you did everything right, but I've found that Kielbasa doesn't darken much until it's air-dried in the fridge after smoking. My batch of Kielbasa, here: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?36846-Kielbasa-Krakowska-Krajana&p=368420&viewfull=1#post368420 got a lot darker after a...

    Kielbasa Krakowska Krajana

    Rich, For this Krakowska Kielbasa batch, I used the gluten-free Kielbasa seasoning mix from Stuffer's Supply (adding roasted garlic). See Post #8 for more details about that. When making it from scratch, I usually draw on several recipes to fit the amount of pork shoulder I have on hand. This...

    You can also look for it by it's other names: Prague powder #1, Insta Cure #1, Tinted Cure, Fast Cure, Sel Rose, Speed Cure or Quick Cure. Hopefully, it should be available somewhere in Ohio:wsm: Good Luck with your search.

    Kielbasa Krakowska Krajana

    Managed to get a twin pack of pork butts on sale last week... One became pulled pork and the other, kielbasa. In Poland, almost all sausage is called 'kielbasa'. Krakowska Krajana sausage, always one of the top 5 sellers in Poland, derives its name from the old previous Polish capital city of...

    What type meat grinder/sausage maker?

    I have this one - works like a charm. http://www.grizzly.com/product...uffer-Vertical/H6252 Making Kielbasa here with it... Probably the same as several others noted above - all from the same factory in China, but with different branding and packaging. For grinding I just use a...

    Question about probe thermometer

    Faced the same problem with keeping the Maverick remote transmitter close to the WSM, but secure. So, I adapted some of the ideas that others have posted here. The "brass clip" that I fabbed-up, hangs on the outside of the top rim of the main WSM body. Maverick Remote Clip A thin piece of...

    Joel, If you want to make that photo readable, resize it to ~800pixels wide, upload it to Photobucket and paste the "IMG" address (from Photobucket) in your message. Works like a charm! HTH

    Cable Coaxial Connector for Probe Eyelets

    To do a truly DIY eyelet job for the ET 7 Probes, similar to JLRodriguez' install, I was considering using some threaded tubing (meant for repairing lamps) for remote probe cable "Eyelets". Unfortunately, most of the stuff I have on hand is "rustable". As luck would have it, there were a...

    Bracket for ET 7 Remote

    I became inspired by the creative brackets other WSM owners have made to attach their remotes to the WSM. Steven's approach was to use the existing bolts to attach a bracket, while Scott and others use a modified Weber tool-holder. The way the Weber tool holder clips over the top lip of the...

    Question About Grommets for Temp Probe Wires

    Great idea, using threaded lamp tubing. Here's a Link to the Grommet Mod from JL Rodriquez. Tried searching for it with "find" and came up dry. I looked for "brass" or "stainless steel" at HD and a number of other places, but only found "plated" steel ones, all from the same Taiwanese...

    What dried chile peppers to bring back to Canada from Mexico?

    I'm in Mexico for a week and need some suggestions on what dried chile peppers to bring back to Canada. A bewildering array of peppers is available in the stores here. Thanks for any help here. Feliz Navidad, Bruce

    Need to leave my bacon home alone

    Hey Mark, I don't think dry brining it for 8 days should hurt it. I just finished a batch of Buckboard Bacon that I left in the fridge for 9 days. I rinsed it really well, soaked it in two changes of fresh water for about 4 hours, then let it dry to form a pellicle. Loaded it on the WSM...

    Standing Rib Roast Debriefing

    Everything looks fabulous. I don't see any problem with your Yorkshire pudding - they've risen magnificently and have developed a "well" in which to pour gravy or au jus. To keep them from collapsing, they could be cooked a bit longer. They would be more crispy but you run the risk of drying...

    The 'What else do ya cook on it?" thread...

    Glad to see that there's a lot of interest in doing tomatoes this way. I must admit that the first time I tried doing these, I was concerned that they wouldn't turn out OK. To clarify the stages: 1. Slice tomatoes lengthwise into almost equal sized pieces. Smaller Romas may be halved, while...
