Sometimes you have to take a step back from dry curing and go back to basics. Nothing tastier than freshly smoked back bacon. 5 days in 8% brine flavoured with pepper, garlic, rosemary and lemon, smoked 3h at 55C, poached for about 20minutes until IT of 63C.

That looks good! What did you use for a casing, kept a nice shape.
Cured and smoked/cooked loins have become a staple around here, mainly in the form of Sweetheart "Hams" and various flavors of Back Bacon A/K/A Canadian Bacon.

No casing, just the netting.

Yes, the Amazen tube is the cat's meow. 100 times better than my expensive Smokai venturi generator.

Thanks Dan! I try. :grin:

As to the rounded and uniform shape, the netting really helps here.

Beautiful work Stefan! If my Easter ham will look half as nice as yours I will be very happy.

Did you EQ the hams as well?

Hey Stefan I really like the looks of your smokehouse, can take some more pics of it so I can see some of the in and outs of it's workings.
And maybe PM them to me, unless others don't mine seeing them in a post.
