yep, I have a pellet tray so I smoke with no heat. I was concerned about them at room temp for 10 hours even with cure#1 in 2 of them and tenderquick in the other.

Thank you , we good to go. First time doing cold smoke . It looks good after an overnite in the fridge.

my smoker quit when I started a BB bacon smoke so plan B . I smoke 3 pieces (2 Pops and 1 Bears) I smoke for 10 hrs. and put em in the fridge last night. Now my question, do I need to bring them to a 145 IT to make them safe or no. Thanks Beggar

Thanks for your reply

Thank you daveomak for your reply to my post.

No, I just got them a few days ago.

I am trying collagen casing out and my sausage is blowing out when i cook it.I am overstuffing it but I am not holding back on the casing at all. I am just holding it on the stuffing tube so it won't slide off with the meat. I am using a 5 lb. LEM stuffer with a half inch ss tube, 26 mm casing...

please send me the code thanks

Yep, I use the DDF calculator but it sure don't look like much. Thanks for looking Beggar

I been making (BBB) bacon with Pops brine and wanted to try Bearcarver and DDF . I have a 2lb. 4 oz. piece and DDF has 3 grams of cure, now I measured out 3 grams and that sure don't look right. I did the calculator several times. I put 19 gram salt and 11 gram brown sugar. I'm wondering about...

Thanks Smokerjim, It was 2 whole bone in pork loins in one pack ,we sliced up one and left the other whole and are cutting in half to fit in the fridge.

Well, here I am with my hat in my hand again. I got a whole loin and my buddy sliced it up into pork chops for me. I want to cure and smoke so I was going to put them in Pops lite brine due to being thin for 5-6 days and lay them out on the grates of my MES and cold smoke for about 4 hours...

looks great, how long did you brine with that thickness? just curious.

I just ordered a new MES controller,mine died also . I looked at E bay,Amazon and Masterbuilt and found 1 on E bay and with shipping was 46 bucks. That's the only one I found. (MES) I mean. Beggar

Thanks fellas , got it brining in pops.
