New Guy from Texas.

What’s up guys and gals!!

Just thought I would stop in and introduce myself a little bit.

I’m not an avid smoker and we started raising pigs this year and recently butchered the first one ourselves. I am very interested in curing bacon and hams.

I purchased a ham brining kit from LEM to use for my first time. It’s a pumping kit and a soaking kit and it says to do both for brining a ham. So we will try it out in a week or so. I’ll try to take pictures and post as I go through the process.

So I’m sure I will have plenty of questions.

I am actually going to be using your recipe for curing my next pork belly and putting it in the fridge naked and fat up.

I don’t know much about the LEM brine kit for ham, but if you have questions and you can give me details on the ingredients, I can help you. The bacon of mine is good stuff. Happy to help there as well with questions.

I wish it was!!! it originally had a 400 in it but who ever had it before me swapped it out for a crate 350. I installed a cam in it last year. I would love to swap it out for a 400 though.
