Happy New Year
Hi everybody!
It's New Year's Eve here and after Christmas and a big street party, I'm having a quiet glass of red with some nibbles,and thinking about 2013, and what a great year it's been. It's a beautiful evening and I've been sitting on the verandah reading a book.Heaven!
Just wanted to wish everyone on the site the most wonderful 2014. It's been lovely sharing everyone's lives, humour, recipes and friendship. Happy New Year, everyone!

I have bacon smoking, friends coming tomorrow for a gentle day of welcoming the new year with good food, and good wine. I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year. Give a moment of thought to our friend Chuckwagon. He seems to have gotten one wheel into a frozen rut and sprung a spoke. Don't know the details but they are working on the repairs.

Happy New Year to All. Learned a lot here this year and hope more to follow in 14. Thanks everyone and have a peaceful ringing in of the New Year. Fred
Got 2 pork bellies in the smoker now, first time with them. Used hickory this time, the pork butt bacon I used apple. We shall see the difference. Coming out soon, at 125 degrees now

Keep them safe until they all come home.
If the cures are the same then the difference in the smoke will be very distinct. I am doing some with maple my last was with pear. Pear is much different than hickory.Krakowska wrote: Fred

Yes Ross, The cure is "Sons of bees" recipe. Pork butts came out excellent (apple wood) and I would really have no problem staying with that since it is difficult to find bellies AND the butts are over a dollar a lb cheaper. Thanks for Your help ray and everyone else:)If the cures are the same then the difference in the smoke will be very distinct. I am doing some with maple my last was with pear.

Happy New Year to you all! Just back from a couple of days in Vegas, don't think I'll ever go back, more of a Reno kind of guy. Now my concerns are about CW. I have no idea what's happened, I'd just like to hear that he's OK. RAY

Thanks guys! I appreciate the concern. I've been racked up in the hospital for a couple of months as an outpatient. I almost escaped to go fishin' with Ray. But shucks, I've had to drive to and from, twice a day and much of my time has been limited. Each day I had several hours of treatment and yesterday, I was finally released. I'd sure like to thank Ross Hill and Russ Lambert for their help in keeping the site running smoothly. Now, I should be able to get back on board and pay more attention to WD. We'll be starting up Project B2 again soon. A lot of folks needed a little time to catch up.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year in 2014 at Wedliny Domowe. With good folks like you on this forum, how could we help but be the world's greatest sausage site! Thanks again for your support everyone - for a wonderful 2013 - and I hope 2014 will be healthy, peaceful, and prosperous for every one of you. You are the best people in the world!
Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon
