NePa, just wondering how you use the chips in the Bradley.
Looking good NEPAS. ;D
Looks great Nepas. I made 10lbs of 17mm snack sticks last night (Greg's Recipe). No Pics as my camera is not working right now and my wife took hers with her out of town.

I use a 1/4 cup of chips and just place on the hot end of the slide. The 1/4 cup smokes from 36 to 45 mins. Then i use a hog hair brush and brush the ash off and do it again.
Stick IT at 142* got a bit to go yet.

NePa,
Do you always use cure in your jerky? I have made several batches and never used cure.
I am just wondering if maybe I should start.
You sure got that whole stick thing down to a science, never seen a bad looking product from you yet.
I'm trying to gather up all the supplies I will need to start experimenting for my self. Can't wait. ;D

When i smoke the jerky i do add cure #1. When i get lazy and dehydrate i normally dont add cure. If i ship to my sons i do cure it because it can take a couple weeks to get to them.
On sticks and sausage i always use cure.

I have only ever mad in a dehydrator, as I only got my OBS at Xmas and have not made any in it yet. It is on my short list, so I would guess you would recommend that
if it is going in the OBS I should add the cure. Sorry did not see the jerky post till after. ;)
Yes anytime you smoke jerky or sticks add cure.
Thanks for the 411 ;) ;)
