Is this feasible in cold weather. In Chicago and in for some freezing temperatures, but don't want to wait till March to try this.

    nolaegghead reminded me that a small 40-60W bulb + the AMS would probably raise the temp just right but I would add - what better than keeping the temp below 40 so there is less worry about micro.

    what Big Wader said but the AMS raises temps a little on it's own as well. if you are anywhere close to freezing, you should be fine with AMS alone. If you are quite a bit below, then the light bulb would be a nice addition. Once the bacon is out of the cure, you don't have to worry about "safe zone" temps as much. The cure is all about preservation in itself
