Hi all,

So I Googled the group and got fed up when I kept coming up with old (1999)
faqs and posts, and then, admittedly, got lazy to look for more.....I'm
interesed in learnng how to make my own Montreal smoked meat - I don't know
anything about preserving/smoking/curing meat, have no idea where to start,
so I need to be pointed in the right direction, from the beginning, and
trust the people on this group for their knowledgable help and
patience....anyone?

I'd really appreciate it....

then you'll have to wait until the faq is posted....which is every few
weeks if it's not still on your news server.

With the advanced search on Google Groups, you can choose a date
range. Very helpful when you really only want the latest version, or
want to reduce the number of hits.

Another group to look at for smoking meats would be alt.food.barbecue,
including hot smoking and cold smoking.

I posted here a few months ago how to get their FAQ through various
sites.

Happy trails,

I would defer to the folks in that group.

They are quite serious and knowledgable, and I am dabbling with
barbecue because I like to eat it. Some of them compete or judge in
national barbecue contests, the sort where the prizewinners post the
award in their restaurants.

Besides, if you check my location, there are allegedly no real
barbecue places anywhere near.

If one does not have the answer, knowing where to find it is still
helpful.

Hey Gary,

so I've been reading a.f.b. for a few days now - are flame wars the norm?
I'm certainly not interested in that...........just making smoked
meat.............

Many groups do end up with flame wars, and hate to say, but this one
is trivial.

Not sure what newsreader you have, but guessing Outlook Express. Many
others have filtering capabilities.

In any case, you will quickly learn which posters are worth reading.

Keep focused on the topic, and ignore the rest.

The trouble with anarchy is that it is so poorly organized.
