    Evening all! I’m in the UK and am looking to build a smokehouse mainly for fish but also meats. Not yet decided on whether to build this in brick or wood. Any suggestions/ recommendations?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hey there - I was reading your summer sausage recipe and see you said you let it ferment in the fridge for 2 days. Is there anything wrong with letting it ferment for 2.5 days by chance? Time wise we can't make it work within the 48 hrs. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Disco, was wondering after rinsing the bacon off and placing in the refrigerator is 24 hrs to long to dry the skin or get that tacky skin on it ?

    Yes you can. My favourite way is to cut the brown sugar by 1/3 and then inject maple syrup (1 tablespoon per pound or 25 ml per kg) into the meat every inch or so down each side.

    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.
