    Boy that sure is a nice looking knife. Seems like its taking me forever to get to the hat level, let alone the knife level.

    Great knife. Just glad to start using it. Surely didnโ€™t want it to get damaged.

        wdaly PapaSop the only think better than one is two. johnsbrewhouse I think I got the same UPS crew you have. Check out the box with the Fragile sticker on it. Its like they intentionally drop kicked it. The box without the Fragile label came in pretty good shape. Go figure.20211104_182304.jpg

            GWG8541 I think some of the drivers think Fragile is Italian. Looks like they could figure which end was up either from the tag because it looks like it was sitting on the ends.

                    calldoctoday More than likely the one unloading and loading the trailers. UPS pushes them to get them done on a schedule and stuff as much in a trailer as they can get even if the trailer is overweight.

                        Iโ€™ll consider this a win win with the prices now.

                              I finished up my first dry rub bacon tonight. I used Waltonโ€™s dry rub bacon cure and followed the directions on the site. I gave mine one extra soak after reading some comments about being too salty. I did add some Waltonโ€™s course black pepper to about 2/3 of the belly before smoking. Everything turned out fantastic. I had to sample a little before vacuum packing and it was great. It is a little time consuming, but worth it.

                                That is a great price and looks like some nice bellies. Making bacon is easy, itโ€™s the waiting that is difficult. I almost always make two bellies, cut them in half and make four varieties. Good luck. You can dooit!!!

                                    PapaSop I have two sitting in the fridge right now doing a brine cure, one maple the other a pastrami bacon. There is also a boneless butt in there with a wet brine ham cure. They will be ready to smoke in a week or so. Got to go down and turn them again today. That is one thing to remember to do everyday.

                                        25lb in the smoker. 10lb butt for some pulled pork later.

                                        PapaSop I think youโ€™re going to be very happy with the results. Not a doubt in my mind that youโ€™re not going to screw it up.
