Hi Everyone,

My kids have been on me to make and smoke pepperoni. There does not seem to be much info on the forum. Can you please post your recipies

I haven't tried it, but I found this on the recipe site:

The Len Poli recipes are always good too. This one is a little different than Stickbowcrafter but it does describe how to age the pepperoni.

I have never made pepperoni but from what I understand pepperoni is not normally smoked. It is dry cured and aged. That being said, I do buy Hormel brand pepperoni sticks then remove the casing, split down the middle, then cold smoke for 1-2 hours. I normally do this if there is room in the smoker while doing cheese. I also allow it to age/mellow for 1-2 weeks like I do with my cheeses. It is the best pepperoni I've had. It is even better on pizza etc.

Bushman,

Hi-Mountain has  pepperoni sticks kits.  I bought one but haven't had the time to do yet.
