    finished new chamber

    Just a small ultrasonic humidifier. Depending on where it's located and/or the time of year you may need up to both heater, humidifier and dehumidifier. Currently mine is inside so with 70 degree ambient temps the chamber only has to cool. If it were outside I'd have the need to heat. You just...

    Is this mold or dried up water? Help!

    it looks like mycelium, as in mushroom. no harm no foul. i imagine if you left it you would see it pin and fruit shortly.

    I apologise, I cold smoke for an hour at 60-80 degrees. My next target temp is 140, I hold this temp for half hour. After that I crank up the heat to 225-250. This I just how I do it. You could just as easily hot smoke out the door.

    AC Legg Pork 10 Seasoning

    assuming your spices are 15g per tablespoon, then id say you need 64g for 7lb. but you should probably check the weight of the seasoning.

    finished new chamber

    I have it inside the house so at the moment I only need a humidifier. I will probably put it out on my back porch this spring. When that happens im sure i will need both as its always shaded and next to a creek. Leaving inside was just easier for the immediate future, also less hardware needed.

    finished new chamber

    im using the Inkbird ITC-608T. It controls the temp and humidity. I am using the fan in the fridge to circulate air for now. Im waiting to see how it works to determine if i need to swap.

    finished new chamber

    I finished my curing chamber and thought i'd share abit on it. It is a whirlpool model et8gtmxkq00. It has freezer on top. Everything was pretty straight forward. First I disconnected the thermostat and light in the fridge compartment. Then using a Dremel cutoff wheel I cut through the plastic...
