Anybody in the Buffalo area?

I think I have found a way to smuggle some MTQ across the border with a guy who is doing some work for me up here from Buffalo.  I am thinking about getting him to pick me up some MTQ but I need a source for him that is almost guaranteed to have it.  Then I can buy him lunch or some or something and I get to make some cured stuff in my DBS.
All I wanted to do was slow smoke some ribs.  Another addiction created thanks to the Bradley that requires regular servicing...  But what an addiction to have.  Even better to share here with some of the best people on the planet.

Would you like smoke with that sir ?

Morton has a product finder utility on their web site.  I got the guys zip and pulled the name, address and phone for each.  It looks like Wegmans has the market cornered in Buffalo for this stuff.   I cannot wait.  Cue Homer Simpson.....   b a c o n ...........    b a c o n ........

I am trying to do both.  I am liking the dryer vent idea, maybe an upgrade of the exhaust fan over the stove.  I think I can pull this off and will have some bacon to boot before its over and done.

oak,

I live on the otherside of NY near Vermont. I purchased my MQT at a local Walmart Super Center (Walmart that sells food too). You could have him check a Walmart in Buffalo?

Sausage Maker is located in Buffalo, you should be able to find it there easily. :) You should give some thought to purchasing Instacure #1. It is cheaper and more versatile, and you can make your own TQ substitute.


EDITED
Whoop! I just checked their website and they don't sell it. But like I said earlier, Instacure #1 is more versatile.

If you are having trouble getting Mortons TQ in your area I could always run up the road to Stuffers here in Langley and send it out to you. They have an online store also. http://www.stuffers.com/

I looked for MTQ locally and couldn't find it.  The online places charge more for shipping than the MTQ itself!

My secret agent man is on the the lookout for MTQ for me today
It is his mission and he has accepted it
I will wait eagerly for hiim to report back
This is a casual business acquaintance that is doing me a favour so I can only hope Wegmans comes through

Its ridiculous that stuff is not sold in Canada. I will be trying to reverse engineer the recipe if I even get some and maybe blow
my smoker up one day.....   LOL

If not I will have to do one of those cross border shopping trips one day

This is very close to being the same as TQ.

Basic Dry Cure

For home use sodium nitrate is not needed for quick curing meats. If you feel you need to duplicate the formula here is an approximation you can start with.

Salt = 78%
Sugar ~ 21%
Sodium Nitrite = .5%
Sodium Nitrate = .5%
propylene glycol ~ 1%

Propylene glycol is used to keep the mixture uniform.

I never thought I would say this .....

I AM SO EXCITED !

Just got word from my Buffalo friend advising of our secret rendevous point for the delivery of my MTQ
Have to be a little clandestine lest the Canadian authorities thing I am curing myslef to death to blow myself up or something !
I think I have enough to last the rest of my life !

Tonight I will be dreaming of curing loins in my fridge and bacon sizzling in the pan about a month from now
This is like winning the lottery !  Wait till I get to Costco...   I see a very full cart in my future.

It is ironic isnt it ?
We can pay ridiculous prices for pre made but there since there is a possibility that we could get hurt making it, well forget it.
Kind of like running with scissors, eh....

I figure after I pay for this, buy my secret agent breakfast, head to Coscto and pick up a loin, I will be ahead of the game with my first batch, never mind the self actualization from having done it myself.
