    AMNPS and a Charcoal ECB

    I've had an ECB for a few years and never really had much success with it. A bit of research on here and I now have a list of ideas to try and MOD it to see if I can revive it. I have just purchased an AMNPS and whilst it looks ideal to cold smoke with in the ECB I was not sure about hot...

    How old a piece of meat?

    Another newbie question I'm afraid...I know that the fresher the piece of meat the better but can you cure a piece that is a day or so away from its Use By date? I don't like to get too hung with UB dates however the curing process works by preventing the bacteria growth; if that has already...

    What's the difference in the Cures

    Thanks for the update. I think I have seen there are some differences so I need to be a bit careful there. I work with a few US colleagues who travel back and forth and occassionally can get me bits but maybe I am best to source UK in this instance. Thanks again and sure I will be calling on...

    LOL, will need to remortgage soon ... Just bought the A-MAZE-N with pellets, hopefully here soon. Also purchased a blowtorch. Will do a small batch of bacon first and then see about the slicer but thanks. That said, just looked and the prices are pretty good... Just wonder if I can ditch some of...

    What's the difference in the Cures

    Okay, I am new to this and this is probably a typical newbie question but, in simple terms, what are the difference's between the different Curing Salts (Cure #1, Cure #2; are there only two or are there more?) and when do you use each. Reading some of the info out there, this stuff is pretty...

    Smokin Monkey, that looked awesome. I was going to try using pork belly but think I will use a pork loin for my first attempt now, from the look of yours it will go down a treat. Just gotta get me an AMNPS... One question, you use a slicer for your bacon, how hard is it to slice with a knife...

    Wade, That's pretty amazing how long those pellets last. I assume that you are microwaving the pellets up front to warm them up and make them burn easier? Can you also light the AMNPS with a tea light or does that take too long (albeit that I like the thought of using a blow torch in...

    Hi, I'm Duncan from London. I'm new to smoking. I have a very cheap charcoal Landmann but really struggle to keep temperatures stable enough to do anything; did get a couple of good chickens and a side of salmon though. Going to invest in an electric Bradley Original (Costco seem to be doing...
