    Nitrate free bacon...

    Dave, who are you referring to about making 2nd rate bacon? This entire thread was supposed to be about bentons bacon which cures there bacon with only sugar and sea salt. No celery salt or celery juice powder whatever that is. Bentons sells 1000’s of pounds of this per week. I was...

    Nitrate free bacon...

    Nitrate free bacon...

    Thats why im posting i guess, im not new to curing and have cured thousands of pounds of it over the years. I know the effects of curing salt and not using it as well as substitutes.

    Nitrate free bacon...

    No celery salt. Just sea salt and sugar. I was shocked because everything i have read says the same, and yes oldtimers saying its not bacon. But this wasnt some hobbyist operation, 1000’s of lbs a week and sitting at room temp for 10 days with another ten days in cold smoking. Obviously it works...

    Nitrate free bacon...

    ok, I saw a feature on bacon, i think on cnn, i feel like it was in the midwest kansas or something like that. Anyway, they cure thousands of pounds a month using only salt and sugar, no curing salt. 10 days stacked high in a cooler, rinsed and hung at room temp for another ten days, then cold...

    A couple of comments. To those roasters who so vehemently said dont at the beginning and referring to their years of coffee roasting experience, where are you now? Second. Smoke after roasting, cold-smoke or regular smoking temperature doesnt matter as you are not coming anywhere near the...

    Welcome Pjunzen, I would have to say not to use palochina wood, I am not exactly sure what it is, but if i am not mistaken it is typically used for crates and boxes and likely heavily treated with chemicals.  even if its a version of pine wood or whatever i would say to stay away from it. ...

    Berry, I had another thought, if you have the funding to do so, a supplement to that funding instead of just having your return be from the high quality beef you produce could be to make it a sort of Texas style resort where the wealthy can stay and live the life of a cowboy or something like...

    Jared, First, Welcome to the Philippines, secondly, if i understand your approach is that you are looking to secure your sources of both smoking materials as well as a reliable source of meat, ideally you are wanting to have a farm where you supply your own?  If you have that sort of income it...
