Hi.  Italian food obsessive, having a go at curing Italian stuff.   Have done a guanciale with great success, and currently curing a coppa.   I have some black mold spots developing, and have posted a question and a couple of pics in the curing forum.   I'm not planning on cooking it, so want to know if black spots are really bad news.   

I tried cold smoking duck breasts a few years ago.   Back then I used a can of oak shavings and a soldering iron.  It worked, but I do plan on doing some bacon, which I think is going to take something more substantial.   First though - I've got to rescue my coppa..

  Good morning and welcome to the forum from a pretty nice and not to hot day here in East Texas, and the best site on the web.

        Lots of great people with tons of information on just about everything.

Hi Bernie and welcome to the forum. It sounds as if you are getting on well with your charcuterie. I will go look at the posts.

Have you tried bacon before or will this be your first time?
