Thanks. I was going with bear mountain for the convenience of getting a better pellet over the less quality ones local. Would have to drive at least a hour to get Lumber Jacks. Was not aware of the Cookin Pellets & Kingsford pellets. I drive past lowes on way to work. I do want a 100%...
Don't have a bunch of experience using wood pellets except TSC corn cobb horse bedding for cold smoking bacon. Have always used chunked wood. Looking for 100% hickory wood pellets. Found them at TSC but had to order the hickory pellets. Same price as if picking up in store. They seem to have...
WOW! Thanks everybody & thanks for the carousel ride. Can't believe a odd color ,simple mac & cheese fatty made it when there is more deserving cooks on here.
Again Thank you
SmokinEdge this is some very useful info that will come in handy. I'm just now learning the metric system to use for curing meats. I don't remember being taught metric in school. I do struggle with it some but that is the norm for most new things with me.
Moderators I believe this should be...
Sometimes I just mix up a batch of boxed mac & cheese for a simple quick & easy fatty. It’s always good with the smoked sausage & bacon. Plus there is so many varieties to change things up. Ran across this mix an thought spicy fatty.
Made mac & cheese by directions. Put in frig to cool down...
Those dogs almost look good enough for me to eat one. Sorry but I can’t stand hotdogs. Leaves more for others that enjoy them. I do eat more than my share of kraut. I’d tear up the shrooms though.
Thanks Bear. Owe it all to you. The gasser takes around 15 hours to get to temp. With the needle valve it takes quite a few adjustments to get right temp but always comes out great after a few days rest in frig.
I’ve been making this for years using Bearcarvers step by step recipe. Never looked farther because this is spot on for me & family.
Thank you Bearcarver.
I figured we all have seen enough pics of brining & bagging. So I took this pic at 120 IT & before the rain comes. Taking to 158 IT. The top...
That is a understate for me yesterday. Kept thinking did I put the decimal point in right place? Did I use the % at the right time? Double checking myself. A lot of double takes on the notes. Plus a few scribbles. :emoji_astonished: 1.8 grams compared to 1.5Tbs.(22.5 grams) A lot of second...

Thank you
I know what u mean about the wait but have plenty to do in the smoker. Smoking a batch of venison dry beef I got up extra early to get going today & another batch to do on Monday. Plus have a go of souse in crockpot going today. I really have trouble with the wait after it’s...
I bought a small piece of boston butt so if something goes wrong not much invested. Started out at 3.42# (1.55kilo). Trimmed off fat cap & deboned. Then I cut in half length wise. First piece weighed 708 grams. To that I rubbed 1.8 gr cure #1, 9 gr salt & 7.1 gr brown sugar. Rounded everything...

Thanks!
I run a book binder so I can copy a bunch of these to make a book out of them. Will come in handy. Glad to get this cure #1 understood. Never used it. Always used TQ. Appreciate the help from all.
WOW! Glad u caught that
Thank you!
I cure my bacon for 10 days using TQ. Longer an it is to salty For my liking. Prefer not to soak in water just rinse.
Here is pic of old classic frig. The no walk in cooler. Holds a steady 34.
Have a batch of dry beef & dry venison going now. Do soak this in...
Good idea with twine. Buy a lot of twine for price of 1 bacon hook. I do have a gram scale to use now. After doing a bunch of searching this is going to be the cure I plan on using. Haven’t tried yet though.
1000 grams meat
1.13 grams cure #1
1.5% salt
1% sugar
Cure for 1 day every 1/4”...
