    Which Temp controller

    Looking at building a curing chamber and wondering what temp controllers you are all using. I see a lot of them where i can plug the fridge in if i get to hot, but do i need a different one to plug in my heat source if it gets to cold or do they make ones that do both?

    Foodsaver V850 just keeps sucking

    Foodsaver V850 just keeps sucking

    LIke the title says. It just keeps vacuuming and never seals. Im using the roles and it seals the one end but when i put the food in it just keeps sucking and never seals. It seems to be getting the air out so not sure why it wont seal. Anyone have this happen to them??

    Splitting up and storing your bacon

    Just wondering what you guys all do with your bacon after you get it cut up? I have a vac sealer but obviously that takes forever as you have to cut it, seal one end, fill it and then seal the other end. Any of you guys have any tricks or use other stuff that is faster and or cheaper as those...

    24 pounds of dry cured belly bacon (pic heavy)

    Have you tried wet curing before? Ive done it both ways and its so much easier that way. Just need x amount of stuff per Gal and then you dont have to do all the calc every time. Looks great though. Also i wish i had your vac sealer.

    Good value slicer

    Looking to get a food slicer and wonder what you guys recommend. Really dont want to spend a ton of money on it as its not something i use every day. I want it for cutting up my bacon and maybe some hams and briskets.

    I will take a baseball bat to my UDS and just buy a lang

    Personally i would blame you not the smoker. Odds are there was air getting in somewhere. And with the cost of remote temp probes being so cheap why wouldn't you buy one for your smoker temp. Then you can have a nice alarm incase something like that happens. Not to mention that you where...
