    ham curing days set in stone?

    O-ok, So you do understand the correct amount of #1 per lbs of meat,  1 tsp of #1, per 5lbs of meat. When I wet brine I like to add in the weight of my water and other spices also, for more of an equilibrium brine solution. It took the help of some of the SMF members for me to be able to...

    How about try scrabbling the egg in the shell first, then hard boil it, peel it, then throw some love at it, I meant to say SMOKE!   Maybe someone could youtube it and paste  it on here, I thought it was pretty cool when I first seen it done.

    Wood fired pizza oven?

    Some place I seen a really cool pizza oven a guy built on top of an old 55 gal. drum and he had the oven part on top made out of his clay and or mortar mix. I thought it was a very creative and simplistic work of art when it was done. I was kind of throwing the idea around about making myself...

    New Member to the Smoking forum

    IMO, aluminum foil is just as valuable as good old Duct Tape, 101 uses for the stuff! LOL   If I am in a hurry and worried about anything flaking off the inside of my Smoker onto my meat. I will always drape a piece of foil over my meat to keep it safe and clean. I try to do this so the foil...
