salt versus salty ingreients

[dan the mano]

when doing smoking , can a person smoke with SOME salt and then use the other salty ingredients as the same, instead of adding say the Morton powder or prauge powder .I do hope that this is under stand-able to what i am asking.

thanks

If your talking about smoking at a low temp (no more than 170`) then the answer is no... you must use cure #1 or Mortons TQ ... If going to hot smoke (>225`) then cure is not needed... If that's what your asking about ??

Like Jack said, You don't need cure when you Hot Smoke. (at 225° or so)

You can get away with lower heat on Jerky, because it's sliced so thin, but if you plan on making Belly Bacon, Buckboard Bacon, Jowl Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Dried Beef, etc, etc, you're going to need to use a Cure, like Pink Salt or MTQ.
