Just finished my firt pork ham. It was 18lbs. with the bone in but I deboned it so I could run it through my slicer when it was done. It was injected and soaked in brine with a sweeter than sweet cure from LEM. Soaked for 6 days , washed of and soaked in clean water for about an hour. Just over...
I used to work at a stone quarry and we used stainless steel screens to screen the different size material. They were 4ft. x 4ft. with different size wire and openings. They had to be replaced after they had a hole worn in them ...normally a small hole at one end or the other. They make some...
The slicer is a Hobart 411, and is old as the hills but works fine .The wife found it in the classifieds about a month ago. the guy wanted $200 for it ,but I got it for $180. Had to do lots of cleaning on it and the sharperner is missing....oh well. It is a very heavy piece of equipment , like...
I had 3 domestic pig hearts this week. the wife put them in the presure cooker with some onions and chicken broth for about 45min. They were great ! I ate 2 for supper and the third on sandwiches with hot mustard for lunches for a couple of days. Don't know about wild pigs but I would guess the...

Would love to hear how it turns out. We are just getting some wild hog in this part of Ohio. A few taken in my county last year. I have been told by some of my southern friends that it is sweeter and leaner than domestic hogs.
Good luck to you
I had a pair of venison loins that I had no room for in my brine that I am doing 2 large hams in . I had already injected them with brine so I just hung them in the unheated section of my shop overnight [38 F] The next morning I went out to clean the butcher area and decided to throw then in the...
