    Is my bacon bad? Please help

    If you followed this recipe/process and your fridge temps are at or below 40F then you are perfectly fine. Only issue I could see would be the condition of the belly when you bought it. The discolored spots on the meat will disappear during the smoking cooking process.

    Is my bacon bad? Please help

    I just don’t have enough information about your recipe or process. But the green most likely is nitrite burn. This comes from to much nitrite in an area. I promise you that 16 days in a refrigerator at or below 40F will not produce green meat, especially when salt and cure 1 were applied.

    Looks more like oxidation to me. I’d give it a rinse and pat dry then sniff. The 16 days should be no problem with most cure recipes. Not sure what you used though?

    pastrami brine troubleshooting

    Make the EQ brine with just the water (10L in this case) then if you want to add ice that’s fine. But the ice weight can not be part of the EQ weight ratio.

    Easy Propane to NG conversion for Masterbuilt 40”

    Nice work. Same basic smoke set up in my big wooden smokehouse works real good.

    pastrami brine troubleshooting

    This may well be the problem. If you weighed out water weight in ice alone then applied the salt and cure as “equilibrium “ that won’t work. The salt and cure must be dissolved in the water first. If you want to add some ice after that’s fine but you cannot start out with pure ice.

    Chili. The real stuff.

    Some nice Chile Colorado there. We usually do carne adovada ( difference is Colorado has beef and adovada has pork)

    Christmas Plans

    Hey Charles, We have my in-laws (I call them outlaws) with us and my youngest son will be home from Virginia for about 10 days. So 6 of us total maybe 7. Ham on Christmas Eve probably with scalloped taters. Then Christmas dinner will be prime rib bone in with lobster tails on the grill and...

    Frozen Boston Butt

    Get it thawed. Then look the surface over real good. Trim anything odd or pale or opaque. Trim the fat surface by half thickness. It will then cook up and eat like new.

    Yup I’d hit that. Glad the new unit is working for you.

    You can do either, but it’s best to mix for each piece. Best way is to leave them whole mix and apply cure then cut into pieces. It all works though. Just more consistent piece by piece.

    That recipe will make bacon. For me you are a little heavy on cure 1 and way heavy on salt. But like you said use EQ next time. Enjoy.
