    Belly/Back Bacon

    There are others of us out here! I've been anxious to give the CB a go with a TQ dry cure, so reading all I can to get it right. May well be driving 70 miles to get some of the Tender Quick, apparently not available where I am at all. Hard to believe. Great thread, good looking stuff Many thanks!

    First time cold-smoked Buckboard Bacon w/qview

    Makes perfect sense and once I followed the link to your actual smoke on this it answered my question within the first sentence or two. I'll be following it to a T for the first smoke and having some home cured bacon for the A.M.s can only be a good thing too! Side note- question, since you...

    Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)

    Thanks Bear, Above and beyond! Wegmans, coincidentally they just broke ground on one about 2 miles away, but that'll be a little while... But as it would be, I am scheduled to roll up to Frednecksburg this week, maybe even tomorrow and there is one there. I'll be sure to check them out and...

    Va smokers and curers, is that a word?

    So I've been on this site for a couple years and registered for about 1 1/2, had NO: idea this subforum existed until Bearcarver steered me over here. The reason why- I'm looking for place that sells Tenderquick curing salt by Mortons. Any ideas? I'm on the southside of Richmond, chesterfield...

    Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)

    Thanks Larry, if I go the mail order route I'll give them a go. Rather toss my $$$'s to a "place" like this than Amazon anyway.

    Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)

    Excellent! Thanks, I'll do some asking around. Hadn't even thought of looking for a subforum of Va smokers, I've been here a year + maybe closer to two and didn't know it existed. Yea, the darn shipping is what hacks me off, about the same $$$'s as the product itself! I'll see what I can find...

    First time cold-smoked Buckboard Bacon w/qview

    Yup! Something else just got added to the list! I'd imagine you could cure and smoke to 205 the entire butt, correct? When I do this stuff it goes quick, so I prefer to do large(er) batches.

    Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)

    Great pic! This gives us all a good idea what to look for, and what to hope NOT to see! haha And somehow I managed to find only page 1 (!) of this thread last evening (while smoking a brined turkey breast, boars head kielbasa and about 5 lbs of my nuts (ouch!) , so much more here than I first...

    Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)

    Yea, Thanks Farmer, I've used that a couple of times and even though it maxes out at a 50 mile radius, nothing. I find that really hard to believe as this is a HUGE hunting area, but no luck. We're pretty much a Kroger/ Food lion/ Martins market and I've checked all three. Nothing. Looks like...

    Canadian Bacon Dry Cured (Step by Step)

    Great step by step and am anxious to give this a  go. Can't find tender quick or cure 1 anywhere around central Va it seems, unless I'm not looking  iin the right places out there. Anyone have an idea? Doesn't seem Bass pro or Cabelas carries it, surprisingly. Also for limiting the salt content...

    Noob's 8.5 lb pulled pork QView

    SOoooooo, yea. Gotta love a big butt. So welcome for some attention and so forgiving... On at 12 noon, steady at 240 give or take, and off at around 4 a.m. So a steady, sturdy 16 hr smoke, Hickory and apple mix, no crutch, heavy bark and had the collards in the sheet pan just beneath to catch...

    It's that time of year again...Win a prize a day from A-MAZE-N Products through 11/22!

    I did some of these for the first time about a month ago, and was not only impressed, but enough so that I have talked the in-laws into getting a whole box for all of us to dig into along with the usual bird, stuffing,  sweet and mashed potatoes and all the other fixin's. Smoked crab legs! I'll...

    Mysterious Boston Butt "Fat Gland" Removal

    Never heard of it and don't think I've run across one before. I've got a 9 and a halfer going right now over hickory and a bit of apple, been on for 2 hours now. I imagine it's too late to go looking for this thing without it screwing up the smoke. I'll have to be sure to search for it before...

    Noob's 8.5 lb pulled pork QView

    How I light my AMNPS w/ video link

    I always remove the tank, simply because it will be probably at least a week until I use it again. No need to take the risk of draining the tank and lord knows we don't need anymore gas leaking out around this place.

    How I light my AMNPS w/ video link

    Bear beat me to it. This is the "next generation" from the old model I have but even at 20+yrs old the thing works pretty great.  Solid brass fittings all around, I too use the fat bottles for stability sitting them down on the table rail etc. 30 Bucks for the torch and it should last  nearly...

    First beef back ribs

    Yes, please  share your rub if it works , I tried a coffee rub once and it just didn't work. Didn't add much as far as flavor and came off as kind of a goo more than anything. Still interested in the idea though. Ive got a couple decent racks of store bought beef ribs that will be going on the...

    Pepper Stout Beef (Q-view)

    On the smoke now, wind, rain, weather. Joy. BUT looking good and off to get the stout I've forgotten on the last 3 trips to the grocery. They know me by name there... Also did Jeff's Chicken Lollipops and they came off at 165 and spot on 2 hrs. Look kinda great, but a little labor intensive...
