Welcome McTuber, as a fellow new OBS owner, and "newbie" to the forum, let me tell you, this forum is the greatest assett, and the people here have been SUPER for sharing their experiences, recipies, and knowledge. Should be required reading for anyone who buys an OBS!!!!! Sure takes some of the mystery and trial and error out of "the magic of smoke". I have learned so much in the last few weeks, I sometimes feel like Kwai Chang (Kung Fu)...."Patience Smokehopper, when you can snatch the rib from my hand, then you will truly be in touch with the power within, and be ready to go forth into the world of smoke"...or something like that! Don't be a stranger, ask lots of questions, and don't be afraid to share the results of your efforts, good and bad.

::) Thanks for all the good ideas and fun things to read.
One concoction that I liked to make in my Old Smoker goes like this
5 lb Ground beef and or Bambi
5 teaspoons Morton's quick cure salt
3 Tablespoons Mustard seed
3 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
1 to 1 1/2 Teaspoons Course Black pepper
Mix all of this to gether really well.Cover and put in the fridge over night.
Mix real well the next day and put back in the fridge.
Mix one more time and again put back in The fridge.
Now if my goes inta's are right .On the fourth day put it in you jerky shooter and make the thin strips or the 1/2 inch round sticks.
Use the smoke of your chosen and when the product looks like it has it's on casing it should be done.About 8 hours in the old one the new b.s.???

Ya know, I always forget that one. Do you drink the brandy and use the bourbon or use the brandy and drink the bourbon? Both maybe? Dang, ::) ;D :D I'm confused. Still haven't got the portion thing right either. Most times I get "Done" before the jerky and the boss lady don't like that routine that's for sure. :D :o ;)
