    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    I bought it from Amazon and it is Pink #1. I used 1 teaspoon of Pink Salt #1. 1/2Cup of Brown Sug and 1 Table of salt.  Mixed all together and then rubbed the belly strips.  Stuck in the bag, sealed, placed in the fridge and turned every day for 11 days..I cut a piece off and fried it.  It...

    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    Hello Dave, I hope all is well with you... Ok I have now pulled the belly out and have rinse them.  For the most part they feel like they have firmed up.  There are some places where the meat is still semi pink but for the most part the belly strips look grey and not rosie in color like other...

    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    No worries, I plan on keeping the cure on for 10 days.  In the fridge for 3 days and then smoke.  How much smoke?  I can light the amnps from both ends for heavy smoke (3-5hrs) or from one end for a long 6-8hr smoke?  Will the cured meat take smoke, how much penetration does it get?

    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    OK... SO you will pull the bacon and let rest (without being covered) in the fridge for another 7 days then smoke..   I have read that you only need to do this for 24hours.  Is there any reason you do this for so long?  (Dave I'm not arguing just trying to understand)  How long does it take for...

    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    Hey Dave, Thanks for the suggestion.  I  did not use the cure that had.  I just ordered some #1 that's pink and used it.  I'm shocked at how little you use...   1 TSP does not seem like allot.  You know I'm anxious to see how the 2x2 strips of belly will turn out.  Most applications call for a...

    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    This is what I have.  When I ordered the Cure Salt #1 I assumed it was pink.  The Cure in the bag (pictured) is not pink.  Thou on the label it says it is.  What I want to know is this.  I will be using 1 table of cure, due to the belly being sliced, will that effect the amount of cure to use? ...

    Looking for direction on amount of Cure #1

    I was at Costco and the butcher came out and saw me looking at belly.  He offered me 8bls of sliced belly in (roughly) 2.5" x 2" strips that someone was supposed to pick up and did not.  So I decided to give making bacon a try.  Now I know it's prolly easier to just use a slab of belly but the...

    Smoking in the cold - Sand? Insultation?

    I like the unit just fine.  What I don't like is the burner that's provided from MB.  So if you get the Bayou Classic then look to change the burner.  I would just say to get a inline valve from the tank and go that route.  Keep the tank open all the way, keep the temp controller on the smoker...

    How to control smoke on a masterbuilt gasser?

    I also recommend the AMNPS. Tried the cast iron route for a test, didn't like it. Bought the AMNPS and have not looked back!

    AMNPS not working right....

    Airflow. It's that's simple. I used mine three times this week to text, the first test it went out. The second and third i opened up all of the airflow and never had a problem since. I also let it burn outside the smoker for about 5 or so minutes. Chop

    I have decided to nix the Smoke Daddy.  Going to use the AMNPS 5x8 and 12" tube instead.  I have just read too many good things about the AMNPS to not use it.   Question to you propane experts;  Now that I have the Bayou Classic High Pressure 0-30psi Adjustable Regulator (Needle Valve),  Do I...
