    pre-mixed spices

    I've always kept the cure separate from spices so I can accurately measure the correct amount rather than hoping the mixture stays perfectly mixed. The cure will probably outlive both of us

    First couple bacon cures

    Yeah 3% is definitely high way high for me I had some like that once so I soaked in water it got kind of bland but at least was edible. You should try at least giving it a couple hours of smoke at a low temperature before bringing up the temp. I generally go with 8 hours of smoke. Bacon looks good

    SOS - My first attempt at smoking ended in disaster

    Friends of mine have tried doing brisket right after getting their smoker both were disasters. Get a new smoker and start with a butt as others suggest it is good experience with a larger piece of meat for several hours. My first briskets were small flats.

    Is there anything similar to American BBQ in Europe?

    My opinion would be that there was definitely a black influence in recent history as this was a time when we moved most of our cooking indoors while slaves were still outside. Still doesn't change the fact that our early diets would have been mostly vegetarian. I doubt that slaves got very much...

    Anyone tried this?

    My wife likes only honey, I like no sweet so it becomes a compromise of honey.

    First brisket

    It's done I normally give it a little more time on the smoke my temp is 225 then wrap at the stall. I'll bump it up to 250 when I get impatient.

    Salmon First time help

    I would agree no brine necessary if your just cooking it for dinner careful with the smoke. I did one hour with alder and it was plenty of smoke for me, when I tried 1 hour of hickory it was too much smoke.
