    I never saw the video but I know what they are doing.  These guys are curing for long term storage.  They are not curing the meat twice.  Here's what you do.. you use normal salt or sea salt, cover that meat real good and leave it for two weeks.  Some old timers like my grandpa did this using...

    Cold smoking sausages in Australia in Bradely smoker need advice to avoid nasties please.

    Well, I did not mention it but I also only cold smoke during the winter. I do so because you need cold temperatures for curing and I don't have enough refrigerator space for the amount of meat I cure.  Besides, I just like the Old ways.  I did have the same problem once when I was brine curing...

    Cold smoking in cold temperatures

    I don't think it will spoil, but I have never heard of cold smoking raw meats.  I only cold smoke cured meats.  I have on an occasion cold smoked some ribs for 4 or 5 hours (during the winter) and then cooked them in the oven with bbq sauce it did not kill us but the bbq sauce had more smoke flavor.

    Cold smoking sausages in Australia in Bradely smoker need advice to avoid nasties please.

    Those are some fine looking wurst.... I think your problem is the smoker, it just not designed for cold smoking.  Without investing in another smoker... I would isolate the burning compartment from the smoker.  Just make you a fire box about 5 meters away and connect it to the smoker using pipe...

    Cold Smoking - How to?

    Cold smoking is all I do.  I cure everything then cold smoke it using different types of wood.  I don't know if there is a much of a science to cold smoking, it kind of comes naturally to me.  As you stated the vent must be left open.  You want your smoke to just "Kiss the Meat" and leave.  A...

    Canadian bacon challenge - dry cure vs brine - side by side test

    It all looks great! instead of cutting those loins in half, I use a injector to get the cure in the middle this insures  the cure makes it all the way through.  I dry cure and wet cure the same way always using my injector.  For me, on large hams and shoulders it's a must.  Having a Great...
