    2nd try @ bacon

    I've read a lot trying to figure out the proper curing time for belly bacon using Pop's brine. In one of the threads I read that 1/4" per day was a safe bet, and that was 1/4" from both directions. So, my understanding is, if you have a 2 1/2" belly, it could be done in 5-6 days. That just...

    Stuffed pork loin

    I was pleased with how this turned out! The loin came packaged in two pieces, so I laid the loin out and seasoned it, stuffed it with cheddar an jalapeños, then I put the two pieces together and wrapped them in a thick cut bacon weave. Smoked at 265 for about two hours using apple wood. It was...

    Hi. My name is Jeffro, and I'm a smokaholic. Admitting it is the first step, right? :-) Anyway, great forum and I'm glad to be here!

    Pellet trouble

    I recently got the amazenproducts pellet tray. I'm following the directions as read, but the pellets won't stay smoldering. I have the tray in the bottom of a barrel pit, resting on expanded metal, with a light amount of airflow. I've cold smoked with it three times now and all three times...
