An inexpensive way to cold smoke is to make a hole in the side of a soup can at the bottom, jam a cheap soldering iron through the hole and add wood chips. You can smoke inside most anything, even a cardboard box. My cheese and bacon come out great.
I have had 3 sleep studies and couldn't get to sleep worth a hoot for any of them - of course I don't get to sleep well anytime. The last time they put some sort of cloth prewired helmut on me that made me sweat something awful. On the other hand, when my son had his study the technician wired...
I've got 30# of bellies brining right now with your recipe Pops. It will go in the smoker tonight for about a 24 hour cold smoke with hickory. I wish I had some corn cobs to make authentic Fassett's bacon.
It would be pretty hard to go wrong using Pops' recipe for brining. That's how I do all of my bacon and everyone loves it. I also cold smoke all of mine.
I can verify that Pops' dad's hams and bacons were as good as they got. The store was called Fassett's and the hams and bacon were cob smoked. If my father couldn't get ham and bacon from Fassett's, we went without. The first store-bought ham I had was a huge disappointment - not even the...
I have a Smoke Vault and the shelves are moveable in that. I don't think it would hold 8 butts unless they were small ones. I have done 4 that were 15# each in it, and have also done 6 whole pork loins. I noticed that Gander Mountain has the Smoke Vault for $300. I bought one there a bit...
My smoker is on my covered back porch and it hasn't affected the ceiling at all. I had some fire resistant sheet rock left over from building the house, so that's what I set mine on.
Peanut oil has worked good for me so far. I run a couple of "tanks" of it through to flush out the petroleum oil before I cut smoking wood. I haven't tried it in colder weather, but I don't have any gumming up problems with it in warm weather.
Pork loins are my favorite thing to smoke and eat. For my 2nd smoke I did 6 whole loins. I smoke mine at about 250 until they hit 150, then foil them for about half an hour. Mine usually take between 4 and 6 hours.
