    continuation first butt - getting ready HELP!!

    Is it just the temps that low or is wind a factor as well? There are much more knowledgeable folks that will chime in, I'm sure. There is talk of using something to shield the wind but I would think you could smoke at 199, just add more time to the already exact science of meat smoking...

    Cured Meat Storage

    How long can cured and smoked meats be kept in the refridge? I have Dudestrami and Canadian Bacon that I did 9 days ago. I meant to freeze them but forgot before I left for Vegas - I was pre-occupied with visions of glittery beauties dancing before me. Race cars - what were you thinking...LOL

    Briskit, Canadian Bacon, Dudestrami....Q'View

    Canadian Bacon and 'strami into the polar plunge. I added a hunk of potato to the bath to help with salt removal. Will soak for 2-3 hours changing water regularly and do a fry test at the 2 hour mark.

    Super Bowl Butt

    I have not tried the Gates yet. I did make a batch of knock-off Gates Sauce for those that think they need it. I can find the Fat Boy rub in my local Hy-Vee. I will definitely get some more! They do have a website if you need to order that way - jbsfatboy dot com
