Your In! ;)

Order the grinder & stuffer! ;D

Just kidding! It is really nice that your wife takes an interest in it. 8)

It really is alot of fun seeing what you can create. And the "eats" aren't bad either!

I didn't realize it but I was already in! Went to Gander Mountain to buy a small grinder/stuffer. My wife said "we can make sausage?" and was all excited about buying a FoodSaver vac and seal. I am so lucky. If I was her I would have gotten rid of my butt years ago.

Walleye, go to the digital forum and look for new smoker by "GatorMike". I gave him some info on pulled pork but I'm sure he could use your expertise more than mine.

LQ,
I understand and truly appreciate your female outlook but I meant it as a compliment. We really are from Mars aren't we? ;)

BTW, thanks for the PM. Glad to know you're doing well and you made the right choice it sounds like.

Walleye,
Here's a twist for you.....Tonight when I was checking the loins.....my wife walked in and wanted to know if it was going as expected.... She said and I quote " I really enjoyed helping you with that the other night". .......she was applying the cure to the meat..... I'm thinking I have A.) created a monster and.......
What do you think?
KyNola

What do I think...? Gosh I am laughing...kind of re-read your post.

KyNola....I am going to warn you.....

I know you are a bit of young'n around here...but there was guy around here "that shall remain nameless" would of had a bunch of fun with this post. I met up with this guy a time or two on my posts. Not everyone has their head in the gutter or has lacked female attention....but it just caught me funny.

When I read that post I recalled the post that Manxman posted about carrying a whole loin from the market to his house, and how he was greeted by his girl friend. I never laughed so hard in my life. I tried to find the post but didn't have much luck.

MW & Habs,
I have to admit I feared some type of backlash as soon as I hit the post button! I have so many things I could say right now but it will only dig the hole deeper. :D

As for the canadian bacon curing process, about 3.5 days in and I'm really happy with the progress. I think I really like the vac seal bag process.

I'm going to have to try the vacuum seal curing. I do have a food saver, but I just got a Reynolds Handi-Vac. It's so convenient to use, that it may be perfect for vacuum curing Canadian bacon.

Removed the loins last night after 4 days in the vac bag curing. I'm pleased with the outcome. They are in the smoker for 2 hours worth of smoke and an IT of 150 degrees. Will most likely take approximately 3 hours total. When I started this morning the air temp was 16 degrees. Now it's a balmy 23!
