    ~5 days from Picnic to Ham....

    Never mind I found the answer in another ham post of his. Do not use the stock weight for calculating cure and salt et al.

    Is Dave saying you do not add the weight of the 10% stock to get total weight? Because it is injected and not swimming in a brine?

    A two inch thick porkchop

    That's gorgeous! I can't get my wife to eat much pork. It's pretty much a battered and fried thin-bone-in chop or nothing! I'll take that 2" thick chop and throw it in the cure and then smoke it!

    Curing Individual Pieces....Together....

    Thinking about curing and smoking a bunch of pork tenderloins, just to have on hand, and to give away as gifts, etc. Would rather do a wet cure in this case, just to save effort seasoning each one separately. If I want to do 12 in a large pot, do I calculate like normal; total weight of meat...

    Eye of the round

    Well I went ahead and mixed up a cup of beef broth and added some basic seasonings and worchestershire sauce and .4% STTP. Tried to inject this but it had extreme back pressure trying to push the plunger...seems like more squirted out into the kitchen than stayed in the meat. So I just spot...

    How much total liquid should I inject? 10% of weight? And how much STTP? .4% I have a 2.33# EOR I need to cook or freeze.

    What if I take a fresh one, stuff it and wrap with bacon (like a popper) and grill. What will happen to the skin? Will it separate and be all like plastic, or will it also roast and be more like a good boudin with the skin?

    In my experience (and have read numerous times) they are super easy to peel if you leave the skins on after roasting, packed and sealed.

    Strong coffee

    I do pour-over in a small container. I have a precise-temp water kettle and use a scale for exact water/coffee ratio. I experience a pleasurable cup even with name-brand coffees, and more so with gourmet brands.

    What's the best way to get these (individuals) from green to red?

    Now you got my attention with that one...that is how I really enjoy chiles; making a sauce! Such a unique flavor that you don't get from any other ingredient, or even cuisine for that matter. What I have on hand right now is fresh, mostly green and some red. I am going to roast them probably...

    Brian, sorry to not follow-up...you know how life gets in the way of fun sometimes? Well it seems I get more than my share of that, because it did, again! Anyhow, I haven't decided on a recipe yet. They all look so good! Thanks so much for the suggestions!

    Very nice! Looks like competition quality for sure! And the money shot on that smoked pork...mercy!
