    How long did you let this cure? Site says 5-7 days. Some let it sit for up to 14 days. Curious. Bacon makin stuff arrives tomorrow.

    PapaSop Will you be curing in an open container or in a bag in the fridge?

            I wonder how much it would actually cost an individual to ship some frozen meat across the states. I know there are dry ice requirements for some companies, and that a little hard to find in my area.

              Ridley Acres I have wanted to ship some meats before to some family, then I think about and just forget. Last week I mailed a buddy a game camera to put out for us at the deer lease and it was almost $20 to ship it less than 200 miles USPS. So I would imagine it really isn’t a super great price.

                PapaSop I split the difference and did 6. I also soak/rinsed an extra time. I like salty stuff, but it turned out great. Not to salty at all if you follow everything and soak/rinse it well. Good luck its easier than I thought

                    I like to bag in the fridge also. I have not done a bacon but all my pastrami/Montreal smoked meats are bagged in the fridge for the cure, massaging every day and flipping them.

                        PapaSop How come your box look so good, mine are always smashed and the tape broken. We’ll see what my box looks like on Tuesday after seven days on the road from Wichita. UPS doesn’t do well, but I see it coming SurePost via UPS so they will blame any damage on the Postal Service despite being handled by them all the way to the Post Office.

                                  Absolutely. Still like opening packages. Even when you know what’s coming.

                                      Great knife. Just glad to start using it. Surely didn’t want it to get damaged.
                                      Just keep contributing… It’ll happen! 👍

                                        Not a moment to soon. Just opened one.

                                        Now just need the belly.

                                        Perhaps now I can use the new knife. Wouldn’t fit any of my blocks until now.

                                          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
