If you're going to make good and safe cured meat, that is a must have.
I use a marinate on mine and stick with 1 level tsp or 2.5 g per 5# raw meat (2.26 kg).
Looks great Toad. I'm waiting on some of mine now too.
I also got cheese from Sam's.
How did you chunk yours up?
I quartered mine. Cut horizontally and then vertically. About 1-1/4 pounds per chunk.
That made em a tad over an inch thick.
OUCH Chef!!!
You got some lean bacon.
I always 1) let the butcher trim it or 2) smoke with skin on and then trim the skin (sometimes).
Cure it and smoke it. It won't give you much grease for eggs, etc, but it will make some killer BLT's or green beans.

That looks great.
What size are those casings?
I gotta try that on my next go round with SS. Did it taste like Pastrami?
Maybe cube up some Provolone in it? Instant Sammie.
They both do the same thing. Retain moisture and reduce shrinkage.
I always have a nicer looking sausage when it's done.
B&P's Binder #86 does about the same thing.
