Little Work Cut Out For Me Today: Curring

Pork Butt Mike

Well Thanks to LC for picking up a couple of slabs of Pork Belly for me and Turing me on to a site for Pink Curing salt, and also I found Maple Sugar to add to the Cure.

So I am looking forward to making up my cure and getting the Pork Belly cured for some Bacon today. Got about 19 LBS. of fresh Belly to do up. Last batch I used cherry wood, while the slabs are curring this week I am in the hunt for some Apple wood for the smoke. :woohoo:

This is what I did a couple of weeks ago for a trial run. I also used cherry wood.

Morning Mike:

I'm at work already, so can't check Skype. When do you need the apple? It would be tomorrow before I could bring it into the office. I can call you later, I need to head to the courthouse now (the number I have for you ends in 5483)

And no you can't buy it since I didn't pay for it...it is some I got from Neil (Mainegg).

Pork Butt Mike

Yes Jay that is the right number, and I can have Sabrina hook up with you if thats good for you. Call any time when you have a chance. I will not need it till next week.

Mainegg
