I need a good Tasso recipe since no one sells it here in Alabama. TIA.

From the Recipe Book Thread above:
Tasso From Mecca
5 lbs of pork butt or thick chops cut into 2 inch x 2 inch strips to whatever length the cut will produce
1 T salt
1 T sugar
5 T fresh black pepper
2 T red pepper
3 T garlic powder
1 T chili powder
2 T onion powder
2 T paprika
1 T gumbo file
Mix all seasonings. Then rub the pork generously on all surfaces, refrigerating (covered) for 2 to 3 days. Crank the smoker and smoke 4 or so hours at 200 + until done at 160 degrees, or so.

This stores in the refrigerator or freeze well?

I froze some for several months with good results. It is an excellent recipe.

The only ingredient I don't recognize is "gumbo file". WTF is that?

It's a seasoning.

It's ground up sassafras leaves. You can find it in Bama as Gumbo File in the spice section of a store

Just season the pork as if you were going to eat it grilled, but smoke it like sausage.
It only needs curing salt, pepper, and garlic IMO.
You can also order the good stuff shipped to your door from Teet's in Ville Platte, the true mecca of smoked meats.
The real deal tasso
