    Curing whole hams or seperate?

    I am doing my first hams from a young prolapsed hog I processed Friday. Back legs are 15# each. I wonder is it would be better to separate them into butt and shank? More manageable and makes more sense for meals. My plans for my brine (per 1 gal distilled water): 1 cup pickling salt (to make...

    First time making bacon

    Picked up a young 150# prolapsed pig Friday for $30. It was younger so not as much fat on him as a mature hog. Got 92# out of it. l already processed and froze the loins into chops and roast, ribs, tenderloins. Will chunk the front shoulders (13.5# ea) for future grinding into pork sausage. But...

    MES 40" cleanup

    Cleaning up after my first smoke with the MES I was wondering if you guys use wrap foil around the drip pan/water pan for easy cleanup. I recall they said no foil on the racks as that prohibits smoke and heat circulation so is understandable.

    Hard to beat the Sam's Club Masterbuilt?

    I have an electric Gourmet Brinkmann I have used for the past couple of years. It has gotten to the point I am getting custom jobs from board members, friends, etc. I wanted to upgrade and after looking at gas vs electric I still am sticking with electric due to high gas use vs electric. I...
