    Final Smoked Salmon with recipe, instructions, and Qview

    My update. I put the bass in the smoker. Unfortunately that is when a storm decided to pass through. 6 hydro poles got knocked down, lost power for 6 hours. Bass was sitting out in 80 degree temps for all that time. Didn.t feel safe so I tossed them all. Guess this will have to wait for another...

    Wet Brine Confusion

    I was hoping you would pop in Dave my best bet then would be to use diggs calculator to be on safe side. could you put down the optimal ppm that you normally quote. all I remember is 156 for ham. also for salt what % is optimal. what would % would up the chance of your meat product being too...

    Wet Brine Confusion

    thanks chef really didn't want to toss it out. that ratio hast to be followed though? 1tbls/2tbls cure, 1/2 to 1 cup salt, to every 1 gallon of water.. why in some threads weighing meat and water is recommended for cure or is that more sausage related than wet brine related. slow process but...
