    Bacon Cure

    That's what we did. Rinsed, patted dry, let in sit for bit until it got a slight pellicle, put in the Traeger for 1 hr on smoke setting, then bumped  for about 3 hrs, bumped it up to 250, pulled it when it was 180.  Good supper and excellent pork belly sammiches with fresh tomato and guacamole...

    I use our KitchenAid to grind and mix small batches for snack sticks or breakfast sausage then use my LEM 5# stuffer for the rest.

    Cold smoking BBB question

    I've got a 7lb butt covered with Hi Mtn Jerky Co. BBB dry cure.  Should I use my Traeger pellet grill and try to keep the heat below 200 and smoke to 140 internal or use my A Maze-N Smoker to cold smoke with no heat?  Ambient temperatures will probably be in the 40s-50s for the cold smoke.  Thanks

    Portland, OR MES 30"

    Check out Wholesale Sports at 9401 SE 82nd.  They have several different smokers and pellet grills.  The Pellet Grill Outlet in West Linn has a great selection of pellet grills that also do a fine job of smoking.  Both have websites.

    Would this be a good starter Dutch Oven set?

    You can't go wrong with Lodge or Camp Chef.  I love my hard anodized aluminum set (10" & 12").  You just have to make sure the lid on any DO has a good fit.
