    First go at bacon (hot smoked)

    Thanks for sharing Chris. I'm working on my first go at belly bacon. I'm on day 6 of curing four 1lb pieces and just picked up a whole belly yesterday to start on a second batch soon. I also used the cure calculator but followed another's advice and upped the sale and sugar percent by .5 I'm...

    Newbie here

    Hello MooseAntlers. Welcome. I am also quite new to this forum. I am not sure what sliced side pork is. But I think I'd be upset if I were expecting whole belly to cure and smoke. There is a wealth of experience in the forum. I'm betting several folks will have some suggestions for you...

    Loin question

    How is your refrigeration temps? The colder it is the longer you have. If it was fresh when you started on Saturday (stores generally gives you a five day shelf life/sell by date and then a couple more days to use by) you should be okay. But if it smells bad, is slimey or you have serious...

    Do you clean the glass on your smoker door (if it has glass)

    I have used ceramic/glass cook top cleaner and pads for my oven glass I would think it would work well on the smoker window as well. Thanks for the notes that others have not cleaned the inside of their smokers. It saves me from asking as I was honestly unsure (and I prefer less maintenance...

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Thanks bearcarver and DoneGotFat. I'll keep this in mind if my electric cold smoke feeder attachment gives me trouble or if the tray fails to provide enough steady smoke. I have only used the hot or cold smoke feeder once so far. Everything else has been a relatively short smoke (3hrs). Sent...

    Freezing belly

    Thanks folks. I expect a case will be several cryovac whole bellies (like Costco used to carry). At least that is how it sounded when the meat manager called to to let me know the order came in. I'll probably take one, two if they look look extra good and the price is good. I'll freeze in the...
