nothing better to do on a snow day.
mixed venison and pork last night. here are 3 logs. in the smoker right now drying out.
cooked some meat last night to taste. it was a little salty. if i just use insta cure #1 instead of the cure that came in the box will that reduce the taste of salt?

I think the salt flavor mellows after smoking, chilling, freezing, etc. I am not certain though.

Looks good JC. I am finding out that Hi-Mountain anything has a high salt content. Their breakfast sausage surely does.

I've use the HM kits for SS and didn't notice the salty taste. I`ve got another kit and plan to use it when it warms up some. -31 right now and all I want to do is stay warm ;)
