    Is it Bacon or Ham

    If it doesn't have that "cured" look it is NOT cured.

    Is it Bacon or Ham

    You added pink salt to Tender Kwik? Doesn't Tender Kwik contain sodium nitrite?

    Ice bath?

    I have noticed that after removing my sausage from the ice bath, sometimes the water has a brown tinge to it and sometimes it has a black tinge. Same wood, same smoke time and same sausage. Doesn't seem to make a difference in the flavour. Any ideas?

    Confused about pasteurization

    So if I bring the IT up to 135 and hold for 1 hour my sausage will be safe to eat with no further cooking? I am using moose and pork. And cure #1 of course.

    Confused about pasteurization

    I have always been under the impression that I have to bring my snack stix up to 155 IT to be safe to eat. I have seen the pasteurization chart and am under the impression that if the stix are brought up to less IT temp but held there for the recommended period of time that they are safe to eat...
