    good old fashioned pig butcherin

    ok so all went basically well at the butchering. We ended up only doing 4 so it was a little easier than anticipated in that respect. I did however draw a little of a blank when i finally had the carcass in front of me. the people i was butchering with have no interest in cutting up the pig with...

    Schinkenspec w/ Qview

    ok so i have come back from butchering my pig today and i have a few prized ham chunks that are intended for this. I only worry at this point is that i dont have the exact same curring salt as you. I think i can just do the math and figure it out in order to have the right amount of nitrite in...

    westphalian ham or bauernschinken spec.

    oh that looks heavenly. yes. the westphalian is very similar to that but very lean. probably the same flaovour spectrum but with a lean cut of meat. i would love to see how you did that.

    commercial oven build and help

    so now i'm a little confused. the three phase being 3 120v legs that i can understand, but does that mean that i could somehow wire the garage to work? i hope that the idea that 220v is sufficient. and as you were saying that it would merely take longer to heat up is not an issue. I do really...
