RE: Electric smokers
Stats77
I use my Primo XL Oval as an electric smoker. I bought a $10 electric hot plate from Walmart and a temperature controller from Auberins. It works great! I bought the higher end controller so that I can step up the temperature based on time, best investment that I made.TomKat

RE: What did everyone cook today?
calldoctoday Start on the smoker then finish Sous Vide, it’s a much better product but not the same as smoked brisket!

RE: Boudin sausage

Check out this video, I used my own seasoning blend. It turns out great and you don’t need your grinder.
Leaving in LA for over several years and being able to buy it locally it was a big disappointment when I moved north and could’t find it locally. I have made over 200 lbs following Heath’s recipe and it is the best method/ recipe that I have ever made.
If you can get your hands on Chef Paul Prudhomme Family Cookbook there is a good seasoning recipe in there or The Best Stop Supermarket in Scott, LA has a great seasoning as well. https://www.beststopinscott.com/product/best-stop-cajun-seasoning/Good Luck

Jonathon,
These are the components I used; unfortunately my Primo is at my beach house.
On the electric burner you need to open it up and bypass the temperature rheostat and high temperature cut out switch or the burner will cycle on and off and won’t maintain temperature. I simply put the burner in the charcoal area and run the cord through the air inlet.
Auberins offer several versions of the PID controller the one I used is WS-1211GPH. It is a true PID controller so your temperature wont over shoot. I pre-heat my grill for at least 30 minutes to allow the ceramic to heat up and temperature to stabilize.
I also made an adapter and utilize a Smoke Daddy smoke generator. You can put a pan on top of the burner filled with wood chips, but I found that I have much better control of the amount of smoke introduced into the meats with the Smoke Daddy (Great product).Good Luck!

RE: Why are my hog casings sticking to the ss tube?
I keep a spray bottle of water and keep the casings and tube moist.

RE: Cured Whole Muscle Meat 105 - Ham Basics
The directions listed above call for a 10% pump of green weight. The You Tube video Austin indicates a 20% pump of green weight.
Is it 10% or 20% of pump? -

Stainless Steel Dumpling Ravioli Maker Press, AUAM 2 Pack Pierogi Mold - Wonton Mould, Easy-tool for Dumpling Wrapper Dough Stamp Cutter Pastry Pie Making (Small 3 inch,Large 3.75 inch)
I don’t recommend the dough cutter they sel as a kit, it’s exactly the size of the molds and you need to roll each round out to allow for the depression in the mold.
I use the big one for potatoe and cheese and the small one for dersert pierogies. -
