There is now a fix to view photos for Chrome and Firefox:

It really sucks as many on here used Photobucket, and many helpful and informative pics will no longer be displayed.

Interesting way of curing to be honest. But for some reason I think it works on small pieces.

Hey gang!
I watched the new History Channel show called, The Butcher. Four contestants compete with their butcher skills to win $10,000.00.
The last challange was cutting up an alligator. Both contestants made sausage but one sliced the meat up into strips to grind. One commentator stated that by...

I've always cut my meat into strips. It works fine, but I don't know that it works any better than cubes. It's just less cutting that I have to do.

I agree with Butterbean that having the meat cut to an appropriate size and chilled down enough are the most important things. Having a sharp blade...

I cured a 1kg piece of pork shoulder in the fridge for 18 days. I am planning to use it as bacon. It had 2.5 grams of cure number 1 and 28 grams of salt. It has been in my curing in my garage and then into my curing chamber which is set at 12 degrees C. The humidity in the chamber has drifted up to...

Last post

Rarely do I use a chamber to cure meat but prefer to work the seasons and its been my experience when the humidity gets high - around 80%+ there seems to be an influx of native molds that attempt to colonize in spite of a heavy white mold population. Most of this mold seems to be isolated spots of...

Hey gang!
Was able to get a small fridge from work that will be my fermentation chamber. As you can see I got stuff to get me started soon. Waiting on a portable heater and humidifier which should be here tomorrow.
As for my curing chamber, I'm trying to get an old freezer I have fixed. I may have...

Not trying to sell or endorse anything here just wanted to share something I found really nice and that is this korean pepper. I don't know if anyone has used this before but I use this when making kimchi and decided to try it in some things this year. I used it in both capicola and sopressata and...

Always worth trying different flavours. And this reminded me that I want to make a kimchi salami one of these days. Life's just too short!

Deer season is in and I thought I'd try to make some freezer space so I made a 30 lb batch of snack sticks and delivered about half to the Boy's Ranch which I try and support since they do so much good for boys and girls. I figured this might be a nice snack they could enjoy after school.

After over 100 years this iconic establishment may be nearing its end. I can't see penciling out a profit because you'd have to sell a lot of sausage. Shame to see places like this go.

Does anyone have any experience overcoming the issues of getting raw materials by having a business license? It seems everywhere that I turn no one has jowls, or back fat, or even whole belly. Why because Johnny Q Public doesnât buy these items regularly. So when I go to the bigger meat packers...

Last post

3 things. Wholesalers don't want to deal with individual people coming in to buy small quantities. There's a cost involved when dealing with that. Secondly, if a butcher found out that a wholesaler was chopping his nuts off by selling direct, there would be a real good chance the butcher would...

I laughed at a lot of Chuckwagon's posts. I found many dead-serious. He was like a certain
spice peculiar to a recipe and you know immediately when that spice is missing!
It didn't take much reading of his posts for me to develop a picture of him- and my picture...

Mushroom season is here! Although the picking is getting harder due to logging, more people picking and the dry summers, I managed to gather a few. Yesterday I spent all day in a thick forest and managed to find only about 3 lbs of chanterelles. But I also had a few good days in the past couple of...

Last post

That is a nice collection Jason! I love the colour of your chanterelles and it would be great to compare the taste with our Pacific variety. You are lucky that you have no competition in the forest. It used to be like that here but in the last several years more and more people are stomping around...

Thanks. I was hoping this would be the case. Its supposed to cool down at the end of the week so things should get back to normal. This should work out good because I have some coppa and hams curing in the cooler and they should be ready to start drying by the 9th
