    Fridge Died, will freeze hurt my ham?

    I think freezing can actually help to pause the curing process, allowing you to resume it at a later time without overcuring the hams. Once you have a new fridge, you can simply thaw the hams in the refrigerator and continue the curing process as usual. There is no need to start over from...

    Dartmouth men's basketball team files paper to unionize.

    Stove Pipe’s Purpose?

    I find the most important benefit of a shorter stovepipe that it's easier to clean. It's also less likely to be damaged by the wind. However, it may be more difficult to control the temperature of the smoker, and the smoke may be more likely to blow back into the smoker:( When I was building...
