    Jacarding a pork belly

    A lot of processing factories use needles to inject bellys for bacon. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether I'd cold smoke it. Or hot smoke. Not sure of the boundrys there.

    Has anyone used Mrs. Wages dill pickle mix?

    I used to use alum. But after reading up on it. I switched to calcium chloride. Which is what pickle crisp has in it. Calcium Chloride (Pickling Lime): This is commonly used to maintain the crunchiness of pickles. It works by increasing the calcium content of the cucumbers, which strengthens...

    Has anyone used Mrs. Wages dill pickle mix?

    Meh, they're ok. Taste wasn't bad. Ok in a pinch. Texture was a bit different. Denser and with the small seeds. It just wasn't the same. I prefer salad, pickling or regular cukes.

    Has anyone used Mrs. Wages dill pickle mix?

    Yes. I've used both. I always found that the Ball brand clumped up in the jar too fast between uses. The Mrs Wages in the envelopes stops this from happening because you use the entire kit at once. And. Yes, still use the pickle crisp. 1/4 tsp per quart.

    Hot sauce & Bacon

    Interesting. Are you thinking a wet. Or dry cure? I thought once about adding powdered Franks hot sauce to a cure. But never tried it. I'd be wondering about adjusting the salt because of the hot sauce.

    First Ground Beef Jerky in Dehydrator

    I give my grates a light spray with cooking oil. They may still stick a little. But not nearly as bad.

    Second Corned Beef Brisket

    The brand of CB I use for pastrami never gave me a problem. I use the brand Grobbels. I just give it a good rinse. Soak for a hour. Rinse again. Then get ready to smoke it. Pat dry. And let it sit uncovered overnight in the fridge. Then rub with what you like. I use cracked pepper and coriander...

    Grill Brush

    I usually use a putty knife. Though for light work. I have a wire brush. Never had a problem. Though since the horror stories came out. I closely look for wires. I get the grates clean enough so I'll see them if there are any. I'm betting out of 100 reports of this happening online. Maybe 1 or 2...
