Ok, I have a small piece of vension rear leg meat that was 1 3/4" thick at it's thickest point.]
I put in cure with 1 tbs tq and 2 tbs brown sugar per 1lb of meat measured out on scale. (Thanks Bear for the recipe.!)
Been in cure since 11/19 flipping daily. Was planning on smoking on 11/29. Problem is the weather is not going to be cooperative. Rain and lots of it!
Here are my options.
1: Smoke tomorrow 11/27 which will only have been 8 days in cure.
2: Smoke on 12/1 which will be 12 days in cure. Weather is supposed to be 27 degrees with snow flurries that day.
If I smoke tomorrow do you think it will have had time to cure? I usually figure 4 days per inch of meat with 2 extra. I was going 10 days because of Thanksgiving but the weather doesn't want to play nice.
Thoughts?
