ssorllih , This really looks great, but I do have a small remark. When we post in topics like "Smoked pork products" we expect to see not only photos, but also recipe, so other forum members can benefit from this great looking and tasting products. With no recipe moderators should move this to "Hyd...

ssorllih , Let me add to Chackwagon`s answer. When you cure meat in big pieces, you should calculate 7 days for 1 inch of thickness. Adding cure to grinded meat will affect it much faster. Another reason of the difference mentioned by you is, that before the Iron Curtain we were using Sodium Nitrat...

ssorllih , In its simplest form the word `curing` means `saving` or `preserving` meat and the definition covers preservation processes such as: drying, salting and smoking. When applied to home made meat products, the term `curing` usually means `preserved with salt and nitrite.` When this term is ...

Bubba, correct, so ligawa says that he is drying in 30C to 35C for 2.5 - 3 hours, then smoking in 25C to 30C for 10 to 12 hours 2 times ( two days in a row ).
Better results he gets when smoking in 25C.
