I realized last night that "Veronica" was from the Archie comics... "Daphne" was from Scooby-Doo! But I think you are right... Little Mermaid! Ariel????
LMAO... Well... when it started out, I was just supposed to cook some ribs for a pot luck lunch/party. Maybe 50-60 people, then it grew to 100 people, now 150+, and i am organizing the food & supplies and cooking the ribs.
Worse part of the whole thing, is I wont even get to be there to eat...
Well... she did it to me now... lol
We are up to 150+ people. So now its Ribs, Hamburgers, & hot dogs! Mac & potato salad, beans, green salad & coleslaw. So the burgers come 60/case, dogs come 40/case. Salads are 10lbs. each with the green salad & slaw being 5lbs. & burbon beans @ 10lbs. ...
Omak...
I had looked at it from Sausage Maker, but wanted to get some "encapsulated citric acid" also. S.M. price on the ECA was ridiculous as compared to B.P.!
Thanks though!
The last time the was only about 25 people, so that doesn't really count. it was 1 eight lb. butt I think. Will talk to her about it more, but I'm thinking 1/4 rack per person will do the trick.
...to Bama BBQ... I'm not sure I want to create a demand... lmao she keeps me too busy as it is...
Thanks Bill... that's kinda what I had in mind. I figured half a rack per person. The wife thought that was too much, and guessed an average of 1/4 rack per person, since some won't eat ribs at all and others will eat very little.On the other hand, when I do ribs for other gatherings, they are...
My wife has asked me to make something for a party at her work. Last time I did pulled pork. I was thinking about smoking up some babybacks... how many lbs. of ribs should I get?
This is supposed to be a pot luck so there will be other food, but no telling what else will be provided. I would...
On my 2nd. attempt, I increased salt to 3% and smoked the bellies for 4 days @ 8hrs. per day. The flavor is much better!
after passing some samples out to friends & family, the feed back was "good" not great, but good! Several mentioned that something was missing, didn't have that really bacony...
Does anybody know what "curly ribs" are?
Just called my meat supplier looking for "babybacks"... she said all they had was"curly ribs", and couldnt really explain what they were to me.

OK... Thank You Martin... You're a wealth of knowledge!
It seems nearly impossible to get 50ppm of #1 spread evenly, so I will change up for the next batch!
Thank you
Ok.... I just rubbed down a batch last Sun. with a 150ppm cure.
Could or Should I go at it again with more #1 or just short cure it and adjust for the next batch?
Thanks Martin.... so I'm pretty close already, with the exception of only 150ppm on the nitrite in my current recipe!
Is the lower nitrite level an issue with the longer curing time?
OK... maybe I'm calling it by the wrong name!
I'm looking for a looong cure time, like maybe 30 days or more.... long smoke time, like maybe 40 days or so.... recipe!!!
Anybody?
I would like to try and make some country style bacon. Could somebody pass along a recipe/procedure?
Amount of cure #1, and salt suggestion... thinking about 2.5%, and how long to let it cure & smoke for?
Thanks in advance
Tim
The Ranco temp controller is maxed out at 200*... I only cold smoke in this particular unit so it is fine for my application!
Went out the other morning and it was 25* below... started it up and set the temp at 65* for Bacon... in about 30min. it was up to temp!
