Holy cow...go BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGG or go HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well, I do this as a side gig to make some extra spending $$$, so I gotta do enough to make it worth my while when I do it! I would prefer to do 50lb batches, but I would rather start smaller and get good at it before I go all in and go bust for a few hundred dollars in supplies!

What recipe did you use for that meat mammoth ??
Hi Indy,
I used a mix that I got from my local butcher shop, I wanted to figure out how to make it before I started playing around with recipes. This is a flavor mix that uses pink cure #1 along with the spices. The only thing I don't like about it is that it uses MSG, but oh well! Now that I know I can do it, I am going to start playing around with recipes that have been posted on here....
