Jonathon can I use the Blue Ribbon and Bacon Taste Booster for a pickle solution? I have done the injection process in the past and want to try the pickle method as I used to. I will be gone for a few day and that process will work better for timing. It says that it will need 2lbs/100lbs to impart a 120ppm. Do I need to bring the solution up to 200ppm? Thanks

What ratio of beef marrow are you using in your meat block making the gourmet hot dogs? The marrow would definitely add an interesting touch.

pkzipper I have used corn meal and cracked black pepper. I place the loins in stockings and coat a little heavy with either and then smoke. I don’t water bath to cool down the corn meal version. The cornmeal gives a crunchy texture. The cracked black pepper gives a nice note. If needed you can brush down the black pepper if it is too heavy.
