    Smoked Dried Beef with lots of Qview

    Okay so to make sure I've got tihs perfectly clear on my end- if I do either butterfly the round or slice it in half I am NOT using any liquid, correct? It is simply a dry rub on the outside, right? I've never cured anything before so don't want it to be rubbed with the cure AND soaking in it...

    Smoked Dried Beef with lots of Qview

    Quick question, then I think I heading for the grocery meat counter.

As only  rub and not injected, does this change the curing time or formula of 1/2 inch...

    Masterbuilt XL...how to smoke sausage in it? Low temp needed.

    Not sure this will help a whole lot, but on a cool afternoon/evening I've been able to get my XL to putter along at around 185 or so. I don't trust the thermometer all that much either so it MAY have been even lower than that. I've had smoke times go a lot longer than even within a sensible...
