Old newbie

[griffeyt]

Howdy, howdy!  I live in San Antonio and am just learning about smoking.  The old grill finally disintegrated and own a new Camp Chef pellet smoker.  I have smoked a turkey, some pork loins, ribs and brisket.  There's plenty of exploration ahead in using the new smoker and want to learn how to cure meats (both wet and dry) to make my own bacon.  We've got good butcher shops here at reasonable prices and want to take advantage of that.

Have been reading lots of articles on this site and decided to join.

Blessings!

Thank you Bellaru, SmokinAl and BizBuzz for the nice welcome!  The dog and I are going to smoke a 6 pound pork loin for the potluck after church on Sunday.  Tossing it in some apple juice, water and some kosher salt today for brining tonight.  Going to try butterflying it in the center and coat with come dijon mustard, some rub and a little apple juice. Will tie a few strips of bacon on the outside when putting it back together and will slow smoke with some apple pellets.  We'll see how it turns out!  Have a super day!
