    If you have the correct amount of sugar, salt, acidity, AND remove enough moisture, you the jerky can be shelf stable with or without nitrates.

    Cold Smoking bacon: The second attempt

    I was just so excited to eat home made bacon I just sliced off a piece and cooked while slicing the rest. I saw that puppy curl like a slinky. I was halfway through slicing the batch by the time I realized I screwed up. So I made lardons with that half. I’m going to be more careful this time.

    Smoked chucky: from smoker to fridge?

    What I do is let it rest for a couple of hours, then pull it, foil it up really tight to retain moisture and let it cool off on the counter until it’s cool enough to hold comfortably bare handed. Then I put it in the fridge. If you wait to pull or slice, you will regret it.

    No charcoal allowed in this competition, what do I do?

    Awhile back I bought a sheet of plywood. After cutting it, I noticed a warning that said "This product contains wood dust; a chemical that has been shown to cause cancer in the state of California"

    No charcoal allowed in this competition, what do I do?

    I figured propane and electric would be a no, just not charcoal. At least I have a lot of oak and a portable fire pit.

    Do most competitions forbid charcoal?

    No charcoal allowed in this competition, what do I do?

    I think we can preburn wood onsite. It's sounds like the guys running it don't BBQ that much themselves though. Going to the team captain/co-captain meeting on Monday. Need to find out if foiling is allowed, time for judging, if serving material is supplied by us or the command. Lots of...

    No charcoal, propane, or electric. Wood only. On base competition. They provide the meat, we smoke it. Everything else is just standard food safety rules.
