Hi Fellow Smokers

[Tulla]

anyway i have just unpacked my first two cures and to my surprise they are spot on, i really could eat them as they are, however the smoker gets its first true workout tomorrow. So far so good.

Thanks Nepasmoker, i have finally managed to get photobucket sorted but now i have no idea how to get photos on here, all i can seem to do is get the link, i am obviously missing something plainly obvious ;D

If you are using the New Version of Photobucket, I haven't had a chance to explore it much. These are the steps I take.

1- You need to hover you mouse over the picture you want to post.
2- Click on the gear icon that appears in the upper right corner of the picture.
3- Click on "Select Link"
4- From the menu click on "IMG CODES"; you will next see the message "Copied"
5- On this Forum, place the cursor where you want to insert the picture and use "Ctrl"  + "V" on your keyboard, or right click your mouse and click on paste. Both methods will insert the proper codes so that your picture will be displayed.
6- To view how the picture looks click the preview button, before you post your message.

Well here they are, set and ready for the smoker.




Thanks again Habanero your help is much appreciated.

Your Bacon looks like the real thing  :)

Ha ha thanks waltz, it tasted ok too. In truth a little salty but hey ho i will learn from the experience.
A big thank you to all those that helped me to get this far, i am gradually getting my head around the basics.....even Mrs sceptical had a bacon sarnie for breakfast yesterday  :o

Hi Tulla;

Welcome to the forum.

You may want to take a look at the The Sausage Making Store. They can supply you with almost anything you need. I was surprised to see that they sold Cure # & #2.

They also have a great forum Sausage Making Forum

I agree the Sausage making forum is a great place to check out recipes and techniques. 

Welcome and happy smoking  ;D ;D ;D

Hi to all once again, ok so i am now a little bit more experienced with my smoker and have done so much in the past 10 months or so. The best has to be the forerib i done, absolute heaven !!.
Got 4 loins in being cured as i type, bacon time again.
Would just like to say that without peoples help here and the endless info this forum makes available to us all, i would not have reached the "comfortable" zone i feel i have reached when smoking stuff.
A big thank you to you all.

Glad your enjoying your Bradley and having successful smokes, don't be a stranger we'd love to see what you're doing across the pond.

Welcome back, glad you're having fun!  As Saber 4 said, we'd love to see what's smokin' across the pond.

I will try and keep my nose in here and let you know when i make something worth crowing about. I have 4 loins waiting to hit the smoke been curing for about 10 days now, weather is no good to get out there and fire the bradley up.
