    I have two small turkeys one 12lb and one 13lb.  They both will fit into there own 2.5 gal bag but is tight.  Will there be enough brine in each bag to work.  Or would it be best to put into a cooler and add ice.  I want to brine for 24 hours.

    First time bacon using a Wet Cure

    Thanks for the reply.  I smoked it for 10 hours 100 to 105 degrees.  The piece I got had a very hard skin cap.  I smoke it left on the pork belly is it best to cut it off before I cut bacon up.  I cook a couple of pieces and was good.  Should I have trim it before I smoked it?

    REC TEC Initial Observation and First Cook

    I have had my Rec Tec for 6 month.  I have gone thru over 1,000 lb of pellet.   I am so glad they are only 90 min from me so it was easy to go get another 1000 lb of pellet.  Will be doing a Boston Butt this week.  And next week will be doing 6 Butt at the same time for a Relay For Life event.
