Some interesting discussion here. My chili has always been made with beans. But I think that is because that is just how my mom made hers. I don't have a set chili recipe, it is always a "play it by ear" type of thing. I've never made a "trash can chili" like some of the posters in here have...

I have a masterbuilt electric smoker and have one of these: http://www.masterbuilt.com/index.php/electric-cold-smoker.html It works really well, actually. Tons of smoke even with the temp in the main smoker set to 100 degrees. It would even work with the smoker off, though I think having...

Looks intriguing. Next time I have a butt load of turkey I'll give this a try. I have to concur on the 3-piece jars instead of trying to re-use others though. Kerr/Ball jars are cheap enough that you really have no excuse. I'd only re-use 2 piece jars if it is for something that is being...

Just a month? I've had mine fermenting for 4 months now.

I am currently fermenting hot chili peppers to make my own fermented hot sauce. It is a bunch of peppers (I grew super-hots like ghost peppers, red mourugas, carolina reapers, and the like, as well as a couple of milder peppers like jalapenos), some chopped carrots, a bottle of sweet white...

Jerky usually loses at least half of its thickness when you dry it. So a 1/8 in slice will get down to less than 1/16 that is really thin, and will dry out really fast, quickly turning into a crunchy chip instead of a chewy treat. I generally slice mine around 1/4 in. My slicer does not have...

That looks like a decent stuffer for regular sized sausage and summer sausage. I do a fair bit of "slim Jim" sized sausages (snack sticks) and have some doubts on the durability of the plastic gears. The vertical stuffers like that look like they need at least 3 hands to make work: one to turn...

Is that style stuffer usable without a helper? I currently have a Dakotah water stuffer that I would like to replace with a vertical stuffer as I don't like having to go without my faucet when stuffing. I've also thought about adding a hose bib underneath my sink to get the same thing, but I'd...

First, you should always use curing salt in your jerky. Many people claim that the "salt in such and such ingredient is enough" but I always use the proper amount of curing salt as well. I do my jerky in my smoker, which is a masterbuilt digital electric smoker. I cook the jerky for one hour...

It's usually pretty clear Sent from my SPH-L900 using Home Brew mobile app

This is more or less what I do. I don't have the syrup/Apple juice amounts dialed in quite right yet, and I also use ground cinnamon. It's pretty good, I just have to get the juice/syrup amounts to my liking. I've made it 2 times so far. One of the nice things about this recipe is it is...

I think my next grill is going to be a black olive. It is a combination of kamado grill and pellet grill. About the same price as one of the higher end pellet grills.

Yep. I have insulated game bags (Trophy Bag Kooler) that I immediately put my deer into after making a kill. I pack the cavity with ice to get it cooled as quickly as possible. I also get it cut and in the freezer asap. Growing up, we always just threw our deer into the back of a...

Anyone sear their meat prior to canning? I've made some chili with canned venison and while it was good, I would have preferred if the chunks stayed together better. One thing about canning venison. ... it takes almost all of the "gaminess" out, so it might be something to consider if you...

My recipe is about the same as Yooper's, though I also do them with garlic.

I do mine in my dehydrator. It works out well as I have a digital electric smoker that I can program to run a certain time. I set it to 160 for 4 1/2 hours and it is usually about perfect at that point. I have a couple of recipes that I use frequently. I generally use venison for my jerky...

I'm in!

There is more than one way to take this. ... that said, I agree, I'm going to have to try out this recipe.

to be fair, you could both be right. The smoke generator/electronics could have been made overseas.
