    Grinder

    I went from a kitchenaid a couple years ago to the LEM #5. Havent been happier. I normally process around 4 deer a year, along with various other sausages and burger. Runs like a champ. It was on sale for $200, so for me it was a no brainer. Never cloggs up like the kitchenaid. Not sure how I...

    Chicken and Cure??

    Well, I started 4 whole chickens in Pops Brine solution. I did add the cure. I want to see how that turns out. My dad is going to bring over a whole wild turkey to smoke too. He is going with a standard brine without cure. Smoking should happen either Friday or Saturday. Here is a sneak pic of...

    1st Shot at Bacon

    Thanks for the reply.  The 1.45 grams/# max on cure/instacure #1 makes sense.  I'm a little fuzzy on the salt and sugar percentage.  Is that percent of meat weight?  So if I have a 10lb belly, so roughly 90 grams of pickling salt and half that of sugar?  Sorry, I'm probably overdoing it, but...

    I've tried smoked turkey that was smoked and had a slight ham flavor and was pretty pink. Sounds like it was cured.

    1st Shot at Bacon

    Going to do some bacon this week. I ordered some cure #1 and have whT I think should be everything else. Can someone give me a basic cure recipe to use per pound of belly? i know the spices are fairly variable but have seen a LOT of different ways. I would sure appreciate it. Thanks. Jason

    Chicken and Cure??

    I am kind of newer to smoking. Been doing sausages mostly. I know that when doing sausage, cure is used to prevent botchulism. That to me makes sense. I don't, however understand why most poultry, when smoked, only uses a brine without cure. I have done chicken and ribs in the past without cure...

    Thats them pre-smoke. Here they are right after a bath. They taste great! . The areas without good smoke turned out fine and looked good after a night in the fridge.
