This is a new favorite! By far the easiest and shortest cure with great results!

Very nice Sam

CRG,
I did take some notes on the recipe, but just used what I had:
50/50 Pork and Beef
Dextrose
Salt
Whole Black pepper
Cayenne
Fermento
Cure#2
Mixed with the KirbyMixer and let sit in the fridge for 5 days to cure mixing every day then stuffed and cold smoked for 3 hours.

FYI: Do not open the water valve before you close the return!
Thanks to everyone who follows my posts and leaves there comments.

Know one will ever notice the water marks on the ceiling.::)
May I warn all you water dogs to put a paper towel over the stuffer vent fitting before filling and be ready to shut the vent quickly when it fills. I just barely crack it so that I can shut it quick. I rarely have water accidents at least not when stuffing but I make more of a mess when cleaning up all the rest of my equipment. That is why I ran a hot water line to an out side wall on the house. There I can let the water fly and who cares where it goes.

Let me be clear, that was totally user error!!! This happened on the 4th use and I thought I could go as fast as the man himself on the videos. ;) ;) ;)
The KC is amazing.
The larger protein casings have been a disaster.

My only thought on this could be the 70%-80% RH.
So I cut them in half and rehung.

As usual you did a great job. I have to thinks about coming up with a drying chamber. I sure like the looks of the finished product.

I'm absolutely weak-kneed. I'm putting off my sausage making until at least Nov. But after seeing that - it might get moved up!
