    Free is for me!

    Take that shrink wrap off the connection, that is where mine failed. Redo it with wire nuts. You can also apply 120 volts directly to the element to see if it is good.

    The beginning of another 7 day work week. Anyone else function on little to no sleep?

    I used to run my full time business on 4-6 hrs of sleep. Don't know how I did it. Now retired and sleep 10-12 hrs. I feel much better and have a drive now that I can do more in less time. It does matter, don't work your fingers to the bone - you'll end up with boney fingers.

    Lap Cheong

    I had the meat already and not too worried about messing it up. In researching I found that there are hundreds of variations of this one product. I pretty much followed Ritek Kutas recipe from his book. All the recipes I have used from his book were good. If I do screw it up they become doggie...

    I just posted another photo above. Did 12 hrs at 100 degrees with no smoke, now giving it a little cold smoke for 3 hrs then going to pull, weigh, and hang to dry losing 35% or more.

    Lap Cheong

    Well I have been winging it on the process since no response to the original post. I took 10-12 lbs of pretty fatty pork butt and ran half thru on a 3/8 grind and the remainder thru on 1/4" grind.

    Lap Cheong

    Can any one of my SMF folks advise me on making cold smoked Lap Cheong? Been wanting to make this for a while and there are so many variations out there I am not sure which direction to follow. So, thanks in advance for mentoring me in your process. I know it is a lot like making dried sausage...
