Nice cure, smoke and drying run, Bear!

Hmm, I still have not made the dried beef yet...gotta make a trip to the meat counter and find a nice cut one these days. Keep forgetting lately, and I didn't want to ask the wife to do it the last few times she's been out and about...she's got enough on her plate right now, so I'll have to take a ride to the store with her soon. I really need to make that dried beef, though.

Keep on smokin' it up, brother!

At lease send it back, so I can weld on some new legs!

LOL---Maybe sometime. It's twisted pretty bad, but it doesn't seem to matter.

It smokes perfectly!

I love it, like that old pair of work boots that I had re-soled 6 times, before I finally parted with them!!!!

I hate to be without things I become attached to!!!

Might be why I've been married nearly 43 years to the same Mrs Bear!!!

Ouch, I didn't mean it Honey!-----Now I did it !!!!

Bear    Shhhhhhhhh----(Hiding under computer desk!!)

Thanks for the great step by step Bear!!
Thank You Very Much!!!

You'll love the Dried Beef---There's another one in my Signature below.

One thing I should mention----When you do the salt-Fry test on the Dried Beef, it will be very chewy---even somewhat tough!!!

That's just the nature of that lean cut, and that is why you need to slice it so thin when it's done. 

However, if you slice it thicker, it makes Great Jerky (especially the outsides of the pieces).

If you make some, don't let me miss that thread!!!!

Love the look of this,no product like it down here unless its pastrami or german kessler. TQ is exactly what,nitrites? We used to kill & process our own steers back home on the farm,family friend used to make corn beef /corned roll also pickled hand of pork every xmas. My butcher mate will give nitrites,he gets sardines in return but I have a bit to learn here

Here ya go:

[h1]Morton[sup][emoji]174[/emoji][/sup]  Tender Quick[sup][emoji]174[/emoji][/sup][/h1]

This mix is a fast cure product that has been developed as a cure for meat, poultry, game, salmon, shad, and sablefish. It is a combination of high grade salt and other quality curing ingredients that can be used for both dry and sweet pickle curing. Morton[emoji]174[/emoji] Tender Quick[emoji]174[/emoji] mix contains salt, the main preserving agent; sugar, both sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite, curing agents that also contribute to development of color and flavor; and propylene glycol to keep the mixture uniform. Morton[emoji]174[/emoji] Tender Quick[emoji]174[/emoji] mix can be used interchangeably with Morton[emoji]174[/emoji] Sugar Cure[emoji]174[/emoji] (Plain) mix. It is NOT a meat tenderizer.

CAUTION: This curing salt is designed to be used at the rate specified in the formulation or recipe. It should not be used at higher levels as results will be inconsistent, cured meats will be too salty, and the finished products may be unsatisfactory. Curing salts should be used only in meat, poultry, game, salmon, shad and sablefish. Curing salts cannot be substituted for regular salt in other food recipes. Always keep meat refrigerated (36° to 40°F) while curing.
