What smoking accessories are essential?

Home-made sausage products are most often subjected to smoking. It is important to prepare for this process as well. Smoking accessories can make this already time-consuming process much more efficient. You will need wood chips that serve as fuel, thermometers to control the temperature in the smokehouse and hooks on which to hang your meats. When it comes to thermometers, these should be as sensitive as possible because, contrary to what you might think, smoking is not about maximum heat. The key aspect is the smoke that 'surrounds' the meat, which is produced by the burning of the wood chips. It is also a good idea to equip your home smokehouse with a dehumidifier and protect it when not in use with a special cover.

What kind of charcuterie net should you choose?

A charcuterie net is one of the essential items when it comes to home-made meat products. It is important that it comes from a trustworthy source, which guarantees that it is suitable for contact with different types of food. Evidence of this includes the necessary certifications that sausage products receive. The sausage netting should be made of a flexible yet tough material, i.e. rubber, cotton or polyester. Such solutions will work well not only for various meats, but also for cheeses, which can also be smoked. If, on the other hand, you want to give an optimal shape to your products, you will need sausage threads.
