greenman 221 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I get the odd one on a 'blackbirds fancy' when I can. This one was from a friend, he catches more than he can eat, not something I've ever managed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greenman 221 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Good stuff! Looks like it would work as a hot smoker too? I need to knock up a bigger smoker. Best one I had was in a cottage when I lived in the Cotswolds. It was the old stone 'long drop' puts some bars across for hanging bacon, hams and fish. Made some shelves for sausages, was a perfect cold smoker. Got a couple of 45 gallon drums to make one, they work but not as nice to look at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R.A.W 1,987 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 yeah I did a bit of experimenting with a few sausages and was impressed so thought I'd try something bigger . I might try some pork next just pop the lid on and hope for the best . My mouth is watering thinking about the bacon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenman 221 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hot smoking is more about adding flavour as you cook so you can put the meat straight in. If you want to do ham or bacon your looking at cold smoking so need to cure the meat first. There's loads of good info online I got a good book years ago with cures and ideas, I'll dig it out and find the title for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R.A.W 1,987 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'll be getting a few more pigs in this summer and have always liked the idea of home cured bacon but never get around to it . I will do it this year Can you cure meat that has been Frozen ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
