    CPAP Advice

    I'm supposed to use my cpap but gave up. I gave it 6-7 months but it kept me awake fighting with that hose and sleeping on my side would move the mask enough that it thought there was a leak so it would ramp up like a blower! The final straw was when I rolled over and jerked the machine off...

    Wood Dust?

    Thats funny. I've been cutting and chopping firewood most of my life and never heard of splits and discs. I get the "splits" but what do you do with the discs?

    Wood Dust?

    So I assume soaking them makes them fall apart? Also, what are "splits and discs". Sorry. Im new to this and don't understand some of the terminology on this site. I also see a lot of abbreviations on this forum that I have no clue what they stand for. I cant be the only one. I realize that...

    Wood Dust?

    Im not having any luck with the search function here or Google or Safari so I wanted to ask where do you all purchase wood dust for the AMNPS tray? I've found threads that mention using a table saw or other shop equipment but is that the only way?

    Hey Doug. Well, Thanksgiving is over. Hope you and yours had a good one! I have a question about a Boston Butt my wife picked up at the grocery store. It has a sell by date of 12/5. If I get the cure on it before that date does that negate the sell by date? Hope that makes sense.

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    Uh oh. 120ppms and nitrosamines, sodium erythorbate and insuring depletion! Maybe I should just keep buying bacon at Kroger.

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    Yeah it gets confusing for sure. Especially when someone (me) is just starting to process all of the info. I'll get it eventually. I'm gonna write down the cure #1 amounts and post it on the fridge. I'll also look for the calculator that was mentioned above. It seems like the Mortons...

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    My scale doesnt give a reading like the 3.313. It would say something like 3lbs 5.3 oz.

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    After thinking about this I wonder if the .75% sugar can be substituted with maple sugar or brown sugar, etc? Maybe to add a little flavor? Edited: And I guess I better clarify the math so would I figure the weight of the meat in grams plus .25% cure 1, weight of meat in grams plus 1.5% salt...

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    Thanks everyone. A lot of good info for me to store. I have both Tender Quick and Cure #1 around here. I'll have to learn to use each. Thanks again for all the answers. We used the Tender Quick and a little applewood spice to start some more Buckboard Bacon. I'll have to look around to...

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    Yes this is the same info on the package. My question though is what if I have 1lb 3.5oz meat? How do I account for the 3.5oz?

    Curing, pounds and ounces.

    Newbie here and I wasn't sure where to post this. I'll eventually learn so bear with me please. Is there a calculator somewhere to determine how much Mortons Tender Quick is required? I realize the package says 1/2oz per pound but..............what if my scale says 3lbs 5oz. How do I figure...

    Ive been gathering info from this site for quite awhile and finally decided to become a member. Ive been smoking pork butts for pulled pork for years and recently made some Buckboard Bacon. I think I need to fine tune things a little and figured you all were the ones to help out with that...
