    TSM seasoning

    Can anyone tell me if the TSM jerky seasoning is sprinkled on the meat at the time of drying or is it a marinade that you soak the meat in? I have emailed 2 places that sell it and have not received a responce. Thanks

    Finish temp

    Thanks for the quick replies. I pulled at 165, they were pretty firm compared to when I put them in. Put them in the oven at 350 to crisp the bacon. Will do pictures.

    Finish temp

    I have 2 fatties on the smoker right now and been cooking for about 2 1/2 hrs. I have been looking for a finish temp in the search bar and the only one I can find says 240 - 250 degrees. I am at 162 now cooking at 240. They are pretty thick. So what would the finished temp be?

    Sealer

    Does anyone know if this can be used to seal one end of the bulk vacuum bags that come in the 50' roll? I have a Weston sealer and I can't just turn on the sealer bar to set the first end of the bag.

    Very confused

    I have read through the posts, read articles online and in books. Seems the more I read about it the more confused I get about the nitrite and nitrates, gotta be at this temp or that temp. Seems every time someone says something someone else contradicts. I have 40lbs of bellies in the fridge...

    If everything was done the same as before I would suspect that something may have happened to the thermometer.
