    Buckboard Bacon......

    For this is I used the coppa muscle. The rest of the butt is saved for Italian sausage next week. I sure like the dry rub brine better than the wet brine. Lots more flavor. Makes a pretty good BLT.

    Cast iron brands

    This may sound like sacrilege but for everyday cooking I've come to prefer the "Light Weight" cast iron pans. They're similarly non stick and spread heat very well. The brand I own is IKO liFe. I have conventional cast iron pans and dutch ovens and prefer them for some uses......but for...

    Dinner 3 this afternoon........Going to pull it in front of the dinner guests (my god that sounds terrible). I'll do glamor shot at that time. I've changed up how I use the pellet smoker and my method. Seems to have overcome some of the assumed problems with a pellet box. Still working on...

    Need advise...Are my Bacon wet cure calculations accurate and safe?

    Need advise...Are my Bacon wet cure calculations accurate and safe?

    Thanks for the response....Appears you took .025% of water and meat. My number was .025% of water, meat, salt and sugar. That was part of my confusion. I have seen advocates of both calculations as being accurate. So you're saying .025% of just the meat and water.

    ?Setting up drying chamber......WIFI temperature and humidity controllers?...or non WIFI?

    Amazon has some very good promotions on Inkbird temperature and humidity controllers. Cyber Monday deals and 30% off coupons. I think it's time to buy these items for my drying chamber build. Question is....do I want (need?) WIFI equipped controllers? Is there a functional purpose to it given...

    Did you register your purchase/warranty with Pit Boss when you bought it? Pit Boss makes an effort at customer service including a phone number that usually gets answered. If I am not mistaken the Lexington has a 5 year parts warranty. Might be worth a call to discuss...they often send...

    Weaver or Isosceles ?

    Weaver. For me... Naturally balanced/stable. Faster on target/more accurate. Stable/accurate follow ups. Easier to be aware of my surroundings. Easier mobility. Right eye corrected for the front sight. Left eye corrected for distance/target. and Chilerelleno is correct...whatever it takes.
