    Soaking belly post cure

    Hi, I'm (finally) getting around to smoking my first belly as I've had my belly in the Cure #1 (i got the Fiesta brand from H-E-B for my Texas folks) for 12 days so far. Question is should I rinse only, or rinse + soak to avoid that extra saltiness? I've read the threads about not needing to...

    Firebox on inside of smokehouse?

    This is only for cold smoking. Only bacon and cheese. It'll never see above 60 degrees ambient The "mailbox mod" is my poormans version of a smoker box and has a lot less heat that id need to deal with. And since it is remote it cuts down on the creosote. At least that's what I've read on here.

    Firebox on inside of smokehouse?

    I've decided to scale down as an intro project (and I doubt I'll start off smoking 150lbs of meat all at once) so I'll do 2ft x 2ft and 3ft tall. This will sit on top of a couple rows of cinder blocks that will mainly serve as a bbq / fire pitt. I'm using cedar fence pickets

    Firebox on inside of smokehouse?

    I've read that I can use my own sawdust or wood chips in the amazn pellet smoke tube so I think the tube might be the way for me to go as long as it can provide an adequate amount of smoke to smoke bacon at 50 degrees ambient temp in a 3x3 square, 6ft tall box.

    I like the thought of that amazn system but I wanted to keep this simple as possible and use the real wood I already have stacked.

    Firebox on inside of smokehouse?

    I'll only be smoking when ambient temps are 30 to 50 degrees. Your dampening system is interesting and I need to look more into something like that.

    Firebox on inside of smokehouse?

    Hi, I'm new here and just signed up because I am wanting to build a smokehouse on East Texas land but I really want to have the old fashioned kettle/drum fire box sitting on the ground inside of the smokehouse. This will mainly be to cold smoke hams, sausages and to make bacon (all done in the...
