I've never made them before, but I wanted to try it this year. I was going to buy the kit from cabelas but it's been discontinued.
Can someone post how they make theirs and what's needed to do it? Do you use a seasoning kit or mix your own seasonings?
Any information, even if it seems rudimentary,is appreciated.

Thanks
