I just realized I never checked in.
Hi All. I'm recently retired and want to expand my smoking abilities. So far I have done chicken, Turkey, Top Round, and I even Smoked meatloaf (The best EVER).. I made my first batch of bacon a few weeks ago and I need more practice. It came out with a vinegary taste to it. I used POP's brine but I think I when I put it in it straight from the fridge that was the problem. Next time I'll let it reach room temp before I start the smoke. I also did some Gouda and some Cheddar. Still blooming so I don't know yet how it turned out. I have plenty of time now to learn new things. I live in Missouri, so the weather has me inside more than outside, but that will change soon.
I also want to than EVERYONE who has helped me so far!
