I drink beer while using cure #1 and sometimes a good sm Scotch. Have not had any issues to date. I'm thinking a bit of wine would not have any effects but would do a bit of research first.
Not yet have to be up by 0430 and it looks like I got at least and hour left. Holding at 148 and 180 smoker temp. Figured I would just let this one finish out. If it looks locked in the next hour I will hit it with some 170 degree water.
Making another batch. This time without as much garlic. Basically following Ryteks recipe. Last batch was good but I ran the wife and kids out of the house with the last batch. The whole head of garlic in the last batch was a bit over powering. Can keep it on the smoker a bit longer as well...
Had it in the smoker for 3 hours then finished it in 170 degree water. Jumped from 130 to 155 in 10 minutes once I put it in the hot water. Had a check of a time keeping the smoker where I wanted it last night. Maryland decided it was a northern state again, 15 degrees last night. It was 72...

If I'm going to use the meat for items such as spaghetti sauce or just plain ham burger I'm to to concerned about a little silver skin . If I'm making jerky with ground and.my jerky canon I trim off all the silver skin . Remove the tallow for sure and never run a saw through it . Gets on the...
Must be the regulator . I have the opposite problem . I have to work at keeping it cool . She will run at 175 on the lowest setting but if I'm trying to run at 225 I always keep an eye on it . Once the water starts to evaporate it jumps to 275 real quick .

Been at this on and off since I was a kid. Mostly pork shoulders and now that I picked up the large masterbuilt propane smoker I have been getting the sausage and cured meat bug. New fav. is venison pastrami. Wish I would have thought about doing that years ago. Great...
