    Aging Sausage

    I have got a batch of salami on the go - I have a pine box in my garage that I age it in . The temp in my garage is 50-60 deg with approx 65% humidy . This method works well I did a batch of dry cured chorizo a few weeks ago that turned out quite well . The charcuterie book has good info as well...

    Have to be carefull with the tropical hardwoods, some contain toxic substances and volitile oils as I have learned when woodturning certain types.

    Looks like you are going through the charcuterie book like I have -made about 7-8 items so far -here is the Andouille I did. Did the bacon and pancetta as well.

    40-60 lbs of pork belly due to arrive....

    I did a batch of bacon from the charcuterie book (p.42) in my little chief before christmas and it worked out great - added real maple syrup as well for some flavor . Only problem my smoker doesn't get hot enough to bring it to the 150deg internal temp so I had to finish it in a 200deg oven.

    Hey Kookie, I have the same smoker and would like to do something similar. I was wondering about where to get an additional larger heating element for it. If you have an pics of your setup I would be interested in seeing them Thanks

    I can get it at my supermarket or most good delis carry it where I live anyway, it comes in round ( rolled) or flat pieces like regular bacon and can be spicy as well

    Here is a pic of some Pancetta Bacon I had curing and drying for three weeks. Salt sugar cure for 7 days then 2 weeks drying at approx 50deg and 70% humidity-pretty tasty.

    What makes Canadian bacon

    Canadian bacon isn't necessarily smoked either- it is traditionally just brined and rolled in cornmeal.
