I do like uwanna suggested and make a solution with water and dextrose and pitch the stuff in there to allow it to awaken and start multiplying just as you would do for yeast in wine. I do this in the beginning and allow it to sit while I'm getting the mince ready then I pitch it in at the last and ...

The salt in cure will effect it. Use a salinometer to test the salinity and then you will know for sure because not all salt has the same salinity. Or, you can look at this chart on this board and decide if the amount of added salt in the cure is significant enough for you to worry about if you are ...

There is a graveyard for the tanks not far from the house and I can pick them up very cheap. They are heavy but the thickness of the steel keeps the temperature consistant once you set the temp. Way cool! :cool: There's an army post nearby. I wonder if there's a spare Abrams... :lol: Might work but...

Personally, I'd love to make one out of brick but I don't know squat about laying brick but I do know how to weld and I have plenty of scrap metal and a good cheap source for tanks so I'd go that way. A very easy build and it turns out to be a very nice smoke is to stand a lp tank vertically and cut...

Didn't mean to sound critical cause that wasn't the intent. Its just I have a mental scar from witnessing a fluke accident which results in my cringing whenever I see fingers near fast moving sharp things. I cringe whenever I see stuff like this and my frequent use of a meat saw I'm pretty sure I'll...

There is a graveyard for the tanks not far from the house and I can pick them up very cheap. They are heavy but the thickness of the steel keeps the temperature consistant once you set the temp.

This is Wilbur - one of my builds. I designed it to make use of surplus pecan wood that I'm constantly having to pick up and burn. The goal was to create a do-all smoker that would BBQ, hot smoke and cold smoke. Essentially, just has a fire box on the right and a reverse flow smoker in the center an...
