    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.

      Not a moment to soon. Just opened one.
      PXL_20211104_174456822.jpg. Love the color!

      Now just need the belly.

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

        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.

              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.

                  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.

                              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.

Its like they intentionally drop kicked it. The box without the Fragile label came in pretty good shape. Go figure.20211104_182304.jpg

                                        Do they even notice the stickers anymore?

                                          Pulled the trigger today. Asked if they’d do better on price if I took the whole side. Yep. From $4.49 to $3.99. Never hurts to ask.
                                          I’ll consider this a win win with the prices now.
                                          Besides, I really want to try this. 👍undefinedundefined.
