Hot smoked in a pellet grill, but kept to a lower IT because why take it to 152F if you are going to fry it afterwards for service. This already has a hill to climb to be juicy because the tenderloin is so lean.
I usually only take my bacon to 125F which is well below the hump

Thanksgiving Turkey
 
Question : I plan to brine and smoke a 12lb SKINLESS turkey. Has anyone out there done this. Will the turkey be too dry. Or is this a bad idea, we do not like the skin on our turkeys or chickens. I thank-you in advance. Regards , Steve

Might get dry, a pan of water under it will help. Also spraying it down with apple juice might help.

New years Turkey
 
Thank-you for your reply.. After reviewing all replies I have decided to leave the skin on. Using a mixture of onion , garlic and butter under the turkey skin will also inhance the flavour. As one individual noted we can always remove the skin afterwards, for those who do not want the skin on. Thanks again this is a great forum enjoy it alot. Happy New Year to all

I LOVE the Nesco brand cure and seasonings.

For the ground beef jerky recipe it is quite easy. Make sure you use extra lean ground beef if possible. I mix the cure and seasoning packets in. Mix meat really really well. Lay it out on parchment paper and flatten it out. (I like using those wood paint mix sticks as a thickness gauge) as I like it a touch thicker than those. Cut a square out the size of my dehydrator tray and that is about it. Let it dehydrate!

Apple & Cherry wood smoked pork loin roast

Comes out so juicy and tender that you could cut it with a fork with ease.

I cannot eat regular meatloaf, always has to be smoked.

That looks great. Couldn't help notice the lack of a smoke ring, is there one there or can I just not see it in the pics?

Not often will a person get a smoke right with an electric smoker. Also smoke rings are purely cosmetic, they do not add to the flavor or anything of the sort.

This is my favorite way to do a pork roast made for slicing. You dont even need a knife to cut it, so juicy to.

Iv never really had a smoke ring using a bradley. Only a stick burner.

The smoke ring is just a chemical reaction. Some people use pink salt to give it that "look". Moisture also plays a part in obtaining that smoke ring.

When you burn wood, it creates a gas known as nitrogen dioxide. The gas dissolves on the wet surface of the meat, binding with the myoglobin, and preventing it from becoming that dreaded brown metmyoglobin. The smoke locks in that prized pink color.

Some meats like beef have a much higher metmyoglobin so I could probably get it with my bradley which I have before.

Its not a big deal unless your in competition. Food tastes the same either way

The real area that requires focus appears to be made quite fuzzy by the expert sites on the internet.

Some careful observation reveals much.

Too much talking and not enough listening:sHa_shakeshout:

Well today I made a whole bunch of ground beef snack sticks (8lbs)

And have 2 bags of normal tyle jerky marinating until tommorow

Both have 4lbs of Hickory flavor and 4lbs of Teriyaki Mandarin

Then while making jerky I smoked 2 pork loin roasts with my homeade rub and used ginger sesame wood.

Anyone here smoke a deer heart for the pup?

I’ve got a liver and a heart from the BIL’s kill.

I cut the heart into 1/4” strips and just put them on the GMG at 170. I figure 4 hours should be enough to dry them out

alex8486 01-14-2019 11:08 AM

You can do it, but the heart is pretty lean.
I've smoked beef heart before by doing it as a pastrami. Cure for a couple weeks, rub, smoke, and slice thin. Quite good.

I am impressed on how even the jerky is cooked. What do you use for a smoker? Does it have a fan it in distributing the heat? I have a masterbuilt and it is brutal for temperature distribution!

Smoke for an hour or two then put in the dehydrator!

Smoked Polish Sausage
 
Here is a couple pics of the smoked polish sausage I made. Time to put the smoker away for the cold weather ahead. I'm thinking of installing it inside the shop for convenience.

Antelope Spicy Italian Sausage
 
I made a 10 lb batch of fresh spicy italian sausage from the Wife's antelope.

Used fresh oregano and basil in the recipe. Turned out awesome.

Good inside project when it's this cold.
