    question about pork belly

    I read some posts discussing whether or not to remove the skin and it was mentioned that if the side still had the teets on it, they removed the skin. Is that for cosmetic reasons or is that tissue not good to leave on? (not trying to hijack your thread Nick, really :))

    question about pork belly

    If you start with frozen pieces, how critical is it that they're completely thawed before starting the curing process? If they're still a little frozen, do you have to cure longer? Longer cure=saltier?

    Fridge temps while curing

    I'm testing 2 fridges tonight. One was borderline high. The other, the beverage fridge, a little low. Still trying to get them dialed in.

    Fridge temps while curing

    I've read that curing stops below 36 degrees and meat will spoil over 40 degrees. That seems like a pretty narrow window. I'd rather err on the cooler side but will it not cure below 36 degrees?

    1st Pork Butt Frustration

    If more heat was rising on one side of the smoker, thermometer position would make a difference. Next time, I'd turn the lid so the lid thermometer and remote probe were in different positions and see what affect that had.

    WAL-MART Beef....

    I don't remember the exact price, but it was around $9-$10 per pound. They weren't super thick, but decent, 3/4"-7/8" thick. I've never seen steaks that marbled at Walmart before. Again, most ribeyes I see at Walmart are cut from near the chuck end, not the middle, but they're still good. Here's...

    BBQ guru which fan?

    4cfm is enough. Don't know if there's any drawback to a 10cfm though?

    Lump charcoal amounts

    Don't bother to measure. Put in as much as it will hold. When you're done with the cook, close the vents. Fire will go out and you use the remaining charcoal on the next cook.

    CyberQ Wifi Trouble!!!

    On your PC, go to a command prompt and enter ipconfig. Check to see what IP network you have. Cisco/Linksys routers usually use 192.168.1.x. Not all brands use the same net. What IP address did you set the CyberQ to? Must be the same first 3 octets and must be unique on your network.

    North Carolina > Kinston: Kings Barbecue Restaurant

    Sorry if I offend anyone. Maybe they had an off day. Saw the billboards for years and decided to have lunch there one Sunday. The buffet was cheap, below avg bbq pork. Place needs a serious re-model.

    I am close to being a lump only convert...thoughts wanted...

    I use lump for long smokes where I use the Minion method, but I often dump fully lit K on top of the lump. I use K for grilling and always wait for all the briquettes to ash over before cooking. I used to be pickier and only used lump for everything, but K is cheaper. Also, I find a lot of...

    What GA Metal?

    I think you might be better off buying a BBQ Stacker and having the shop cut the hole and make a door. Stacker is only $140 and it's SS. No shop can invest a one time setup for that amount (unless you're related to them).

    Favorite Car Camping Meal?

    Cook what ever you feel like. If you've cooked while camping you know what to expect, as far as effort and improvising. If you haven't, remember, you're not cooking at your house with all your stuff around, including cleanup facilities.
