    First semi-cold smoke on wsm

    Was able to keep temps around 100 to 115 for most of the smoking using a snake of charcoal with a mix of pecan cherry and Apple. Around a 6 hour smoke. First time doing a cold smoke and cured belly.

    Reason for not curing using metal containers?

    Most videos and things I've been reading people mention not to cure in metal because the salt reacts with it. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

    If they are nsf metal certified does that make a difference?

    Jelly like blood?

    Yes the meat was cold. Looked like a hole through the meat where it was coming out. Definitely looked just like jelly if that helps. Myoglobin sounds right. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

    Cold smoking and botulism with cheese?

    Is there any worry with botulism or harmful bacteria forming when cold smoking cheese? Are there any guidelines to follow like the 4 40 140 with meat? Thanks Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

    Jelly like blood?

    Hi, is it normal to have a strawberry jelly like blood coming out of the bacon? While slicing, I had some oozing out. I hot smoked. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

    Why doesn't sliced cured meats last?

    Hi, just curious as to why ham, prosciutto,etc sliced at the deli counter doesn't last as long as jerky or bacon? I'm sure it has something to do with air exposure. When these meats are whole and sitting, they just cut off the mold that forms on the end?

    Curing confusions? Prague #1

    If I'm doing this dry cure with the honey and such...am I supposed to factor in the weight of these to achieve the correct ppm? Or just go by the weight of the meat.

    Curing confusions? Prague #1

    Thanks for the great info guys! Really helps an amateur. Dave I read another post you made about calculating amount of nitrite needed based on ppm and I think I got a grasp on that. Very informative and easy to understand. What about doing the dry cure method with the bacon where I'm going to...

    Curing confusions? Prague #1

    I see the post about pops brine which is 1 oz curing salt per gallon brine. So if I'm preparing jerky but no water added can I use this method based on the amount of liquid? Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

    Curing confusions? Prague #1

    Thsnks Dave! Is it 1.1 grams per lb of total weight-including meat and brine? I was curious about the powder making and hoping the nitrite doesn't settle or separate from the salt. I got that notion because I saw a video of someone making their own cure 1 salt, but I'd assume they go through...

    Curing confusions? Prague #1

    I'm interested in curing to make bacon and beef jerky. The more I read now the more I'm confused, so sorry if this has been a repeat. I understand for #1 the measurement is 1 tsp per 5lb meat. Does someone have the weight conversion in grams or oz what 1 tsp of cure is? I am looking to add...
