Pancetta

[mike w]

Thanks Dave, I will read that. I thought I would have to build a curing chamber to do anything with cure #2 in order to control humidity and higher temps so I have just been reading and trying to learn so far. much obliged.

You can use cure #2...   Use the same amount of cure #2 that you would use if using  cure #1....   Put the meat in the refer for a couple weeks while the cure #1 does it's thing, then hang in a 50 ish degrees area with about 75-80 % humidity and a very gentle breeze while it furthers drying...

Below is a pancetta thread by Evan Brady...

I wish I could find the thread...  A member awhile back, said the controller below worked very well in the chamber he/she built..  makes some great grub...  If this is your controller, let us know how it's still doing..  


Here's a cool mister....

Thanks @Smokin Monkey and @DaveOmak I've got those threads bookmarked now. I apologize to @jnyswlhngmeat for hijacking your thread. Your pancetta and prosciutto pics are inspiring!

Yes, sorry for the hijack, it has inspired me know to actually build me of the cabinets and controller that we worked on at the begining of the year.

Pics look amazing!

Curious if you could turn a master built smoker into a curing chamber. How hard would it be to change it from a heating device to a cooling device?

Maybe using this guy...
