Dave in AZ, yes you can grind pork butts and do the same thing, can also use ground turkey as well. I have not done either of those…yet.

kyle, thanks for the tip. How many pounds does that foil pan hold?

25 pounds fit in 4 pans. Another thing I like about the pans is I stack them in the fridge overnight with the meat, I rotate a couple times and it really packs the meat from the weight.

Dave in AZ Dave, when I make mine, I use 1/2 pork butt, 1/2 venison. I dont know why you couldn’t do the same with beef.

kbarnes12 Trying is caring. I do like your idea of making it less high in the pan. I always choose seasoning to be on the high side a bit and most things come out positive. Good luck with your tests.

kbarnes12 I’m doing the same thing this fall with deer and pork shoulder. I prefer to do this when the weather gets cooler as I like to cold smoke it for a day or two before cooking it in the smoker.

kbarnes12 Use a silicone mesh mat to lay it on so the wire rack doesn’t push through your loaf and set a pan on a shelf under it to catch any drippings for easier cleaning up.

Denny O, yep that is on my to do next time list too.

Denny O I use the silicone mesh mats for smoking cheese. They work great for preventing grate marks or indents on your product.
