Injected and cured 10 days. 10% water, 2% salt, .5% STPP, .25% sugar, .25% cure #1. Changed up my formula a bit. Bumped up salt, less sugar, and no msg this time for giggles. Planned to smoke last weekend but didn't happen. Happy the 2 liter soda bottle worked well for applying the netting. I think a 3 liter might be perfect and will try to find one. Drying @130F now...
Once dry, smoke will be 50/50 oak/pine (yep, I know) dust I made from pellets. I do have some beech but find oak extremely similar and I have 20+ pounds from Todd so... https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tractor-supply-pine-pellet-stall-bedding-40-lb This could be a fail but I love a good challenge. I already did a test run sans meat and felt the smell was good. Different for sure though. Wish me luck!
