    Temperature for Pops brine cure

    I did remove the ice from next to the stainless pot that I have the bacon curing in last night.  Checked it this morning and it was at 35 degrees.  I think I getting closer to creating an old time ice powered refrigerator that is going to work great for keep meat cold while it is curing.  I...

    Temperature for Pops brine cure

    Thanks for the information.  I am going to check the temperature tonight when I get home.  I am going to make sure that there isn't any ice touching the pot and I am going to try to get the temperature up a little closer to 38 degrees.  I was thinking that a 7 day soak would be adequate because...

    Temperature for Pops brine cure

    I have 13 lbs of pork belly currently setting in Pops brine in a cooler full of ice in the middle of a 7 day cure.  I check the temperature and the ice every day to make sure that it is staying cold.  It is staying right around 33.5 degrees.  I was looking on line today and saw an article that...

    Temperature management for curing and drying bacon questions

    Thank you for the responses.  It looks like this is a good time of year to be cold smoking in the northwest with temperatures staying between 35 and 55.  With an 18" AMTS and an insulated smoker I am good to go. I did get my bacon started curing this weekend and it is sitting in the cooler.  It...

    Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker

    Thank you for the comments on the smoker.  Luckily I have a commercial furniture dolly or I would have had to build this outside in the rain. As far as lining a smoker completely with tile, I would be concerned with keeping it attached to the walls.  It is surprising how much movement you can...

    Temperature management for curing and drying bacon questions

    I am getting ready to try my first cold smoked bacon using Pops brine recipe..  There is a wealth of information on this site but I still do have a couple questions.  Unfortunately, I do not have room in our refrigerator to store a 15 lb. pork belly in a brine solution.  I live in the Seattle...

    Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker

    I have been planning on building a smoker for several months.  After a lot of review of this site and a couple of others it was time to stop planning and start building!  In the words of George Patton “A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.”   I want...

    Propane connection for Northern Tool Burner

    Harvest122, Thanks for the reply.  The connector that I referenced was one that BabySmokologist suggested because I think that was what he is using.  I will check to see what size connector is recommended.  I do like the thought of the flexible Stainless Steel covered hose. It will allow me to...

    Meat Grinder size

    I have been making sausage for a few years and it definitely one of my guilt vices.  I started out using a KitchenAid attachment grinder and stuffer.  That lasted about two batches.  I got a great deal on a Cabela's 7lb. horizontal stuffer that works fantastic but I have continued to use the...
