  hello there i have a simple question for you ... why would a person use say cure ..as compared to salt with salty ingredients ( soya sauce ) i believe the salt will still help to store the meat ... and even then how much cure would a person use for say jerky.thank you a

    As for jerky, jerky used to be made by drying it completely so it would store better. It was hard to chew and dry. Modern Jerky with cure can leave a touch of moisture as the cure preserves it. I think it makes a much better product.

    A friend made "bacon" without cure. It didn't taste right and I was worried how safe the product was.

    When curing with just salt, you have to use a lot to draw the liquid out to get the preserving effect. To use enough makes too salty a product in my opinion and isn't as safe as curing salts.

    I love my unit and have enjoyed it thoroughly. As with any smoker, it took some time to get used to its foibles. The main one is if you want to smoke at its lowest temperature, you have to heat it up past the temperature and bring it back or it takes a while to settle in. Other than that, no problems break downs or repair except for two small placed the paint flaked.
