    The Curing Chamber, calling all of you who have built a chamber for advice.

    I have used the humidity  and temp controller from amazon. Do not place the humidity probe near the top of your smoker, as the probe will melt. <a href="http://s1370.photobucket.com/user/lcjones228/media/Box%20Smoker/2014-12-06181903_zpsee224081.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

    Going to try Canadian Bacon

    Just bought two long pork loins. Going to cut them in 1/3.  Would like to dry cure one or two. Can I put them in vacuum sealed bag instead of a zip lock. With a vac  seal I can get the air out. Any one ever use them. Thanks

When we got this batch into the casings, we rolled them on a plate and put them in the frig to dry a little before we tied them off.

    Here is a pic of my twin RF smokers. I used two 60 gal. comp. tanks. They welded up pretty good. I have done 3 to 15 hours and the temp hold at 225 to 300. When I cut my doors they shrunk about an 1 1/2. I just used wider straps. <a...
