HEB had boston butts on sale, 97cLb. so I got 2, a total of 19 Lb. 1 lb of sugar cure, tender quick, with black pepper ,garlic powder, and ground cayenne added, then a trip through the LEM grinder with an 8mm plate, then in the refrigerator for 4-5 days to cure, then into 35mm natural casing and off to the new smoker for 8 hours of either hickory or mesquite smoke. When it is smoked, I shall post a photo.

All in the pool, uh, smoker. I shall post a picture when it is smoked. I am using chunks of mesquite and hickory for the smoke, in my high tech ,15 oz. sardine tin on the hotplate smoke source. I intend to take the temperature up to at least 180'F, air temperature. |

Oops, it appears I have a defective hotplate, I cannot get the 1000W coil on, so all has been done with the 500W coil, maximum temperature, 170'F.  Sidewalk superintendent.

New hotplate got here today, only 3 days after ordering it. Interestingly, it was ordered on Ebay, but shipped by Amazon! Humm, wonder what is going on? Both coils work,on this one so I shall be able to find out the temperature range available in the smaller smoker. I am going to have to cook this batch of sausage, always a good idea , anyway |

Good news that both coils work! That is odd about Amazon on Ebay...but whatever works! ------------- Enjoy The Food! |

With the new hotplate I can exceed 200', easily. Just did some salmon jerky, other than a bit too much salt, it is nice, even if all I can get is farmed atlantic salmon. |
