on your air/fuel mix you need to clean the inside of the burners
they get crud in side [rust, cobwebs ect]
and this will throw off the mix by restricting the flow
the orfice is like a jet witch draws air in with the flow
a 12 or 20 Ga. shotgun cleaning brush will make short order of this task...
48 north is right
the tape machine works great

let set a day or 2 in the cooler then finish grind at the desired size
cooler is set at 30-32 degrees

on a lot of the brines I do there is some residue left in the bottom of the mixing bucket.
you can only saturate so much into water or other liquids
I do the injections and then dump the rest into the brine bucket on top of the hams
currently there is a whole pig in brining buckets getting...
did you inject the meat with the brine?
we just did 2 hams last night and used a injector to soak the inside of each cut
especially around the bone
don't want ''bone sour''
I see you parted out the ham
