    Scored a freezer for a Drying/Curing chamber

    I am thinking of framing and extension to the top and remounting the cover on it so I can plumb the humidifier from the outside and so I can put a flap covered vent on it without cutting holes. I travel for work and will need to be able to leave it unattended for extended periods while drying...

    Scored a freezer for a Drying/Curing chamber

    Hi All; The neighbors sold everything and moved out. I got this chest freezer to convert into a curing and drying chamber. I'm thinkin I'm gonna try the light bulb in the paint can for heat first (with a dimmer to tune it).

    Kielbasa n Kraut fattie

    Thanks for the kind replies. Best of the New Year to all. I pulled it to crisp the bacon. I thought that would be a good way to do it 'cause others had mentioned it. I like chewy bacon, so I will try it without pulling it next. I think it has more smoky flavor when you do not cook it well done...

    Money shots. I  didn't have stone ground, gotta get some. Had to use Poupon. Gotta travel, so no beer with this one. I would rinse the kraut next time. It's sharper than I thought. Prolly 'cause not enough pork fat, since Ii didn't cook the sausage in it. I love it and I have some left to do...

    Kielbasa n Kraut fattie

    I pulled from the smoker and 153F and put it in an oven preheated to 400 and backed the heat down to 350. When the bacon was dome it opened up a bit. Expected that, since I had it over stuffed. Pulled it at 165. The potatoes are wonderfully creamy and the bacon has a black pepper bite.
