    Labor day pork fix with Q-view

    It's been a while since I smoked some pork so I had to get busy this weekend. I started out with some butts going into the smoker last night for an all night smoke. Woke up this morning and still had about 4 hrs before the the butts would be done. SO I figured why not play with the new sausage...

    Bacon & Sausage kind a day

    I cured the bacon using Pop's brine recipe. This is the 2nd time I have used it and it does a great job. I'm hoping to build a small smoke house in the near future so I can do some dry curing this fall / winter.  The sausage I packaged into 1lb. bags. I'll make patties out of it when the time...
