[realbigswede]

ok I see you guys talking about cure #1, 2 and 3 but where can I get my hands on it,, my Butcher do not sell it longer since he stop curing meat. to little interest in it.

cures can easily be purchased online. In fact a few of the sponsors that advertise on this site have cures. just do a littleresearch and you should be able to find everything you are looking for.

I got mine from "Butchers and Packers" online, but even Amazon sells them. Heck my grocery store stocks some but not the Pink Cure#1, only the Mortons types.

Cure 1 can be bought at online sausage makers. TSM is a sponsor here.

If you are close to a Bass Pro shop you can buy a pack of LEM cure 1 there.

I received my Prague Premium #1 powder in 2 days through Amazon.com. It was less expensive than through the company's website.

the former is for curing smoked ground sausages and the latter is for curing large primal cuts well ham, bacon, stuff like that.

I agree with Foam on Butcher & Packer. Good prices, great service, and fast shipping.

Ok, another newbie with a question about this.  I've read the links and just want to ensure that I understand what I need.

If I'm not planning on making any sausage, I can just get cure #2?  My main interest right now for low temp smoking is to make some buckboard bacon.
