    Just taking too long...

    I cook at 220-225º and 8 lb'ers always take me 20 to 22 hours, cooked side-by-side. Don't know about pulling dry though .. 275-300º isn't too high for butts. Bill

    Waring Pro Slicer FS150

    I have that model but didn't care for it much after a few uses. Slow cutting and being a royal PITA to clean along with it only having a 7.5" blade forced me to get something bigger. This one is easier to clean (but not that much), but it's size and ease of use make it a winner for me. Bill

    I'll definitely try the brine cure next time out. As far as being too salty, I did scrub (kinda) the outside of everything when it came out of the cure .. I used my textured meat handling gloves hoping to scrub some of the surface salt off with them. Again, all in all, I'm very happy with the...

    I will, and yeah, the chunks were off that one section from the 1st pics. I just threw them in there to add to the weight add to beans and other dishes so I think I'll be ok with the lack of curing. Next case already? LOL! I'm ready but what do you think about going with a "skinned" case next...

    OK .. Here are the results after 7 days in cure. The slab with the chunks is the Maple Cure and the single slab is the basic cure. Notice that some of chunks have quite a bit of redness .. I added these to bring the total weight to just under 5 lbs, which the recipe called for. I thought I...

    help with 5 lb verical sausage stuffer

    Jeff, The mention of the 5 lb stuffer coming from China is news to me, but I wouldn't doubt it. As far as the claim that the metal gears are prone to binding up unlike plastic, I have to disagree with that. I have their 5 lb stuffer with the resin gears and it's worked well for me. I also...
