    Pops brine or dry cure?

    I personally like Pops wet brine better than dry. I've used the wet for curing hams, smoked pork chops, CB, belly bacon and feel its easier to handle and presents a bit better flavor. On the dry side of things you should check out BearCarvers dry cure. Its also great.

    Church sausage

    I have a good brat recipe. I just have to find it. I believe it was one of Ricks recipes. Its very good. Also, the brat seasoning pack from Con Yeager Spice is very good also.

    Ham & Pineapple Snack Sticks????

    A local butcher sells ham and pineapple snack sticks... At any rate my wife loves them but I have never found a mix for them. To be honest, I believe it is cured ham with bits of pineapple in it but I am not sure. Has anyone ever seen a mix for them or have a recipe for something like this...

    Found In The Back Of Fridge

    Looks great Rick. How are those UMAi bags? I've been thinking about picking some up now that I bought a fridge dedicated to curing. I was trying to decide if I wanted to make it a dry cure chamber but I hate to cut the thing up. Too nice to do that...

    Cured and Smoked bone in pork loins

    Al is correct. All in the same..I just prefer my pork chops with the bone in. Especially smoked.

    Bandsaw blades

    Thanks Bear. I actually found some but not locally. FWIW, I ordered from this place. I got 4 blades for 30 bucks. Figured I would post it to help someone else out if they ever needed some. https://store.butchersupply.net/butcher-band-saw-blades-c32.aspx Jim

    Bandsaw blades

    Where can I find bandsaw blades that will get here in a reasonable time? I bought a Grizzly Grinder/Bandsaw combo last year and the blade sucks. Ordered one from Grizzly and it's backordered. I believe its a 77 or 77 1/2" x 5/8 x .25. Anyone buy anything similar and where do you get them...

    Scored a nice cooler for Curing

    Now I just need to decide if I want to try to mod it to control humidity as well. Start doing some dry curing.

    Scored a nice cooler for Curing

    I always struggle finding room to cure my hams/meats. Those days are now over. Found this guy on the Facebook marketplace. Negotiated to 75 bucks and had my uncle (commercial refrigeration guy) stop by to take a look. Gas was very low and we picked up a small leak (very small), filled it and...
