1 t course black pepper
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t onion salt
1/2 t marjoram
1/4 cup distilled water.

I mixed the cure with the water and added to the meat. Using my KA with the dough hook, mix well.

Add the rest of the dry to the meat.

Nepa, are you saying you added an additional 1/4 t of each of the salt. pepper, onion salt, garlic powder, and margoram?

Well after having a dozen to many irons in the fire i had to freeze this mix.

Took out today thawed, re mixed and tasted. Added 1 t black pepper, 1 t garlic salt.

Was ready to add ECA and stuff and my wife calls and says meet us at the hospital. Left in KA bowl and covered with plastic. Will add the ECA tomorrow and smoke. If it dont look like i will stuff/smoke tomorrow i will just toss it and try another day. Wifes mom is more important.

Thanks everyone. Just got results on MIL results. Not good in her lymph nodes now. Heavy chemo/radiation next week.
When you hear that medical people are their own worst patients? They are right. My MIL is a retired nurse and taking all this with a grain of salt  :(

So im going out of my normal again. Guess you could call this Bradley/non Bradley  ;D





Still got my PID running 130 thru 170.

Sticks being stuffed.





Going to start the DC at the PID setting of 150.

Best wishes for your MIL.
Looks like your getting plenty of smoke rolling threw the Bradley.

After the bloom (cool down) they go in a brown paper bag and in the fridge for couple days.
