• liquid smoke
• mustard seed
• garlic powder
• black pepper
• ground venison
• cheddar cheese
• jalapeno pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Stir cold water, curing mixture, liquid smoke, mustard seed, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large bowl until curing mixture is dissolved.

• black pepper
• red pepper flake
• liquid smoke

Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard seed, curing salt, black pepper and liquid smoke. Mix in the red pepper flakes if desired. Roll the mixture into a 2 inch diameter log, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 24 hours.

Instructions

1. 1 In a 2 gallon container, mix together the brown sugar, curing mixture, and water. Submerge the pork belly in the mixture so that it is covered completely. If the meat floats, you can weigh it down with a dinner plate or similar object. Refrigerate covered for six days.

Ingredients

• ✓ sugar-based curing mixture
• water
• sodium nitrate
• salt
• brown sugar
• maple syrup
• pork belly
• maple wood chip
• apple wood chip
• cherry wood chip

Instructions

1. 1 Pour water, sodium nitrate, curing salt, coarse salt, brown sugar, and maple syrup into a large kettle. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until everything is well dissolved. Pour brine into a 5 gallon plastic bucket and cool to room temperature, 6 to 8 hours.
2. 2 Leaving the skin on the pork belly, cut against the grain into 4 to 6 slabs so they fit inside the bucket, and inside your smoker. Place into the bucket of brine, and weigh down with a glass or ceramic dish to keep the pork submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 7 days, rearranging the pork in the brine daily.
3. 3 On smoking day, remove pork from the brine and rinse well under cold running water, rubbing to remove all external brine. Pat pieces dry and place onto smoker racks. Allow pork pieces to stand, preferably underneath a fan, until the surface of the meat becomes somewhat dried and notably glossy, 1 to 3 hours depending on air circulation.
4. 4 Smoke pork belly slabs using wood of your choice at a temperature of 90 to 110 degrees F (32 to 43 degrees C) for 8 to 12 hours. Remove rind before slicing.

Ingredients

• ✓ sugar-based curing mixture
• brown sugar
• black pepper
• red pepper flake
• garlic powder
• monosodium glutamate
• mace
• mustard powder
• ground venison
• liquid smoke
• beef round casing

Instructions

1. 1 Combine brown sugar, curing mixture, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, MSG, mace, and mustard; sprinkle over venison in a large mixing tub. Mix spices into venison, then add liquid smoke; mix by hand until well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Place into a non-reactive glass or plastic container, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Prepare casings according to instructions below (Cook's Note).
2. 2 To stuff, cut off a 2-foot (60-centimeter) piece of casing, pinch out water, and tie a knot at one end of casing using twine. Fill casing with venison mixture to within 4 inches of open end using a sausage stuffer or large funnel. Tie open end near sausage mixture, so mixture is firm. Tie two sausage ends together to form a circle. Repeat with remaining casings, venison mixture, and twine. Place bologna in a large roasting pan.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until bologna reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 2 hours. Cool, then refrigerate until cold.
5. 5 To serve, cut through casing lengthwise; peel off and discard casing. Slice bologna into thin slices. Bologna may be kept tightly wrapped in the freezer; defrost in the refrigerator before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ sugar-based curing mixture
• steelhead trout
• olive oil
• garlic
• rosemary
• water
• black pepper
• alder wood chip
• water
• wine

Instructions

1. 1 Rinse the fish fillets and place them in a shallow glass baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the fish and season with garlic and rosemary. Rub the seasonings into the fish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. 2 Dissolve the curing salt in the water and pour into the dish with the fish. Let it marinate for 15 minutes per half inch of thickness.
3. 3 Meanwhile, prepare your smoker for a four hour slow burn using charcoal. The temperature should be at 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) before you get started.
4. 4 Remove the fish from the brine and discard leftover liquid. Place each piece of fish onto a small piece of aluminum foil - just big enough to hold the fillet, and season with pepper to taste. Place them on the rack in the smoker. Sprinkle a handful of the soaked wood chips over the coals or place in a heat box. Cover and allow fish to smoke for 2 hours, adding more wood chips as needed.
5. 5 Increase the heat in the smoker (add more charcoal) to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and let the fish smoke until the internal temperature of the fillets reaches 165 degrees F (72 degrees C). Remove from the smoker and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
