Sounds great. Saw that frogmat trick on an earlier post somewhere. What a smart idea to keep them round.

Yeah handy mats EH ;D
These pepps are going traveling :o
South yeah yeah thats it ;)
OK, newbie question. Did you add cure or can you cook it at 200 because you don't have casings?
BTW, Thanks and happy traveling!

Well i normally use cure #1 but need to use up some opened MTQ (hate MTQ) so i added 2 tsp. Started at 180 for an hour then finished 7 hours at 200. Casings dont mean you need to use cure. Cure is for low starting temps from 80-150.

Flip the rack over and cool. No need to bloom here.

;D I like it!
Looks good! MTQ is convenient, but yeah... Lots of other salty gunk in it.
Now that really looks good, when are we going to slice it ..?
Thanks Nepas, I didn't realize I can make peperoni at high temps. Probally awsome sliced with provalone cheese, roasted red peppers and some pepperoncini peppers on a loaf of Itialian bread. Kind of like an antipasto salad!!!!

I was scrolling through the new post and saw the last picture, I thought to myself who the hell smoked a ear of corn and why would they ship it to somebody. Then I scrolled up and saw it was Nepas and pepperoni not corn :) Looks excellent!!

We can do that. How the Paw doing Greg?
Presurgery Friday and surgery Wed morning. I'll be working all weekend trying to get things done around the house so I will not have to worry about trying to do it after the cast is on. I'll probably be off work 2-1/2 - 3 months. They are doing both wrists and both elbows. Not looking forward to it. :P
