[JckDanls 07]

Anybody have an Idea what kind of cure they use in this ? They say to mix 1 lb of the cure to 1 gallon of water

I have some of the Cabela's cure. The ingredients listed are:

Salt

Sugar

Brown Sugar

Sodium Nitrite

Less than 1% glycerine

Maple Sugar granules

The directions say for Brine use 1.75 lbs. to 1 gallon of water

For dry rub use 1lb for 25 lbs of pork belly.

The company that makes this for Cabela's is www.psseasoning.com

Hope this answers your question.

I made one batch with this. It came out pretty good. Next batch I will soak a little longer before smoking. And will definitely do a fry test to make sure. It was a little salty.
