    First Batch: Brown Gelatin?

    Just finished curing my first attempt at Bacon: I had a 10lb belly that I cut in half: Both used the AmazingRibs Maple bacon recipe. One slab I cured by measuring ingredients. By the second slab I started having doubts and followed the Curing Calculator: I ended up weighing the ingredients...

    Wood Rack?

    I’m curious what you are all doing for wood-racks? I previously used some PT runners on the ground, and tossed a tarp over it: but most of my wood has rotted out (likely because I didn’t get the PT off the ground... it became a breeding ground for mice... and because I wasn’t great about...

    A-Maze-N: direct from website or Amazon?

    While I search for my smoker box, I figured I'd at least order the A MAZE N pellet maze now. I'm curious if any of you ordered your AMAZEN products from Amazon? Or did you buy direct from AMAZEN? Shopping is cheaper for me through Amazon, but I don't want to buy some knockoff...
