Never made it, but looks fairly damn simple and straight forward. Using a pork butt and electric smoker. Can use wood smoker, but the electric is just too damn easy.

Anyone have a recipe? Ever done it?

LOL. That's the exact one I was looking at. I agree, it looks fairly authentic.

While we're here, is file a common ingredient on Tasso? Haven't seen it other then your recipe.

I don't think it is but unless I tasted tasso with it I can't say it wouldn't be any good. I've made tasso in the past and the important thing I found is getting a good concentrated amount of smoke in it makes it better. I'm not a fan of the really moist yet seasoned tasso. I like it to be like thick smoky jerky. I love the tasso from Bailey's and Wayne Jacobs in Laplace.

Not sure about that cinnamon in that recipe. I don't get any hint of it in tasso.

Can't say....but that spice mix and method is excellent.

I've been planning to make some too, and printed John Folse's recipe, which is similar to the one above.

Wayne Jacob's uses only fine and coarse ground red pepper and salt. Smoke it for about 4 to 6 hours. Use the boston but as the loin can be real dry and doesn't have the fat for the flavor.
