    Pork spars cured in Pop's brine with Q view

    After going back and forth with Bear about how to do this I finally gave it a shot. I pretty much followed Bears step by step for bacon on a stick, accept I did a wet brine using sodium nitrate pink curing salt #1 and he used TQ and did a dry cure. Most of my questions were about the curing...
