Hey everyone!
I started posting already but it was suggested i do an actual introduction anyway. I made my first true foray into HOT smoking just last weekend with my purchase of an ECBG electric smoker. I wanted electric to start with so i didn't have to worry about losing my heat source in the middle of a smoke or having to fiddle with charcoal. I seasoned the cooker with some cured pork butt cubes. They didnt come out so well though because i used too much tenderquick and it made them waaaayy too salty to eat.
While I absolutely love Q, my main focus is cold smoking and meat curing. The hot smoker was the first step in building a cold smoker for bacon and sausages, maybe some of my cheeses too. Charcutrie and artisan foods are my absolute passion in life and i spend almost every free minute i have learning and doing some food related hobby or putting my experience to good use feeding my family.
I also am an avid hobby guitarist and have been playing acoustic on and off for almost 15 years now. I also like to call myself a movie buff and can usually be found chopping, diceing or mixing in front of my home theatre watching a movie. During the days i run a website for a real estate company. I also run my own artisan food website and have been a web developer for the last 8 years.
Thanks for reading about me...now get back to your smoking!
