First smoke bacon
I made some cured pork chunks last weekend that were horribly too salty. I knew ahead of time i used too much tenderquick, but i also tried the soaking like you for about a half hour. Im pretty positive the shortish soaks aren't long enough to lessen the salt. Two hours or so of soaking like...- nogoer

Where to find decent priced pork belly
Not yet Tim, but i'll keep your offer on the back burner I'd like to find a local source so i can make it without having to plan a month ahead. Maybe i will just have to find another item similar where i can get the meat easier. Now canadian bacon would be pretty easy and cheap. I see whole...- nogoer

Sausage making is fun
I suppose this question is dependent on the sausage makers idea of mushy. At first i made my sausage just kind of like a meat loaf. Later on i realized it does need to be mushy or pastelike to get the proper consistency in the end product. That "mushiness" is what binds the sausage together... -

A new CT smoker
Thanks, but how did you find it? I didnt post a link because i didn't want to appear "self-promotional". I bit off a pretty big chunk with that site, but its going pretty good so far. Mostly because i needed the tools i have put into it for myself and others have found them useful as well. I... -
A new CT smoker
As a matter of fact, i just got that book myself last month. The one on salting smoking and curing. Its a great book, but it could have done a little more embellishment on the details of making the items. It does have alot of great recipes and information about things to do with meat. -
Where to find decent priced pork belly
Thanks debi, for the welcome and the advice. Last weekend i intensified my hunt for pork belly by calling all the butchers listed on yellow pages.com in my area. None of them had or could get it. I dont know if they just don't know what im asking for or what the deal is. There are pork farms all...- nogoer

A new CT smoker
Hey everyone! I started posting already but it was suggested i do an actual introduction anyway. I made my first true foray into HOT smoking just last weekend with my purchase of an ECBG electric smoker. I wanted electric to start with so i didn't have to worry about losing my heat source in... -

Where to find decent priced pork belly
I love bacon and have been working towards the day i can cold smoke my own for a very long time. I consider it one of my last steps towards my ultimate goal of making dry cured sausages like chorizo and pepperoni. The problem is i just cant find a source for the pork belly. For a couple months...- nogoer
