    Looking for a recipe

    Thanks! Used Wages pickle mixes, never the salsa. Looked up the instructions and it looks like a wimner. Appreciate the tip.

    Vac sealed cure

    About 5 years ago I vac sealed Tender Quick, cure #1 and 2 in quart Ball jars for a "just in case" supply. Forgot about it until I rediscovered it today in the back of a cabinet. Picked up the jars, and there was no clumping, discoloration. I'm thinking they'll be good until the seal...

    Brine advice

    Have about 40 pounds of lake trout and salmon to smoke. Will it be OK to freeze some and smoke later? What is the longest I can dry brine? Plan on basic 4:1 brown sugar to Kosher salt for some, wet brine for some. Any dry brine recipes you would recommend other than my basic one? Thanks.

    What are you drinking today?

    We did the same. Took the Wolf Island ferry. Good times. Reminds me of an old radio commercial. Guy is coming back to the U.S from Canada. Has some Molson stashed behind his seat of his truck. Border agent asks "What's behind the seat?" Driver answers/questions "The rest of the truck?"
