Hello from Mineral, VA I do BBQ and sausage - some fresh and some smoked!

25 pounds of 72% pork does that mean 72 % pork with pork fat and what is 5 lbs of 50 % pork . Does this mean half pork and half pork fat???

I have had trouble with salty bacon more than a couple of times and I have reduce the cujre tie to 5 days and let it soak over night as well and it is less salty!

Great idea!!
