Has anyone used the dry rub bacon cure and not add the bacon booster they recommend in the video? If so, what is your opinion?

Antique walk in cooler, hope to convert this year into dry aging chamber (center piece for business)
My wife and I bought this old wooden walk in cooler from a shop that closed in the mid 80’s around the corner from our new shop we built out this past year. It took my brother and I as well as a few big bodies 2 days to disassemble this beauty. It’s mostly oak with Douglas fir framing. Each one of these panels weighs a ton, we had to resort to some creative techniques to get this thing down without killings ourselves in the process. I have seen a number of these around old shops and buildings in Buffalo. I can’t imagine the crew that used to put these things up on a daily basis. We plan to put this up in the “bar” area of our building. We bought our building in July of 2019 to create a new shop that was built to our needs and aesthetic. The retail butcher side was a complete new build in a part of the structure that was used for a prep room by the previous owners. The walk in cooler will go up in what was a bar and dining area. We want it to be the centerpiece of the room and store dry age meats. We will have to retro fit the interior to dry age specs otherwise we want to highlight the old patina of this beauty. We hope for it to be a 6-9 month project based on finances and because we have to build it where our current customer bathroom is. Thus, we have to build a new bathroom and do some electrical and plumbing reconfiguration. Above is the pic of the cooler before we took it down. I’ll send some more pics of where it going to go in the next few days. Check us out on Instagram at Moriarty Meats! Also, if anyone has any tips for installing this beast let me know. Thanks, Tom -
Well I received my PK100 yesterday. I am hel[ping my son move and won’t get to unpack and assemble for a week or 2. I am reading what ever I can from where ever I can to decide what will be the first thing I smoke. Being totally blind and all I chose the PK100. Every where on youtube I read about stick burnters. That isn’t an option for me since I can’t see to control the fire. Most say it’s the only way to go. I will either try pulled pork or brisket first. Can’t wait to contribute to the community.

Not sure how many Coloradans we have here, but I recently got the PK100 smoker, so I no longer have a need for my 6 rack Bradley smoker. I could sell it on craigslist, but I would much rather give it to someone on in this community that I know will use it. I have only used it a few times, and it has the digital smoke generator. I replaced the heating element in it (per you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy_wLkpDj9I I do not like the stock bradley heat elements. Anyway, If there is any interest, please respond here or message me in chat. My apologies for not mentioning this before - This is a pick up situation. I cannot box it and ship it. I doubt I can even pick it up with my elbow dislocation injury.

So I’ve been watching this seasoning with every order and it’s still back ordered what’s the deal? Has anyone tried it?

So, on a whim this morning I decided to see if the new 50 LB mixer would mate up with the older style Cabela’s #12 Carnivore grinder that I have. It does. So, if you have a non-Walton’s grinder and want to get the 50 LB mixer, I would absolutely do it. While I can’t guarantee that it will work with your grinder, it probably will. The worst that can happen is you’ll have to hand crank it. And with that, I’ll keep the comment that my 12 year old wants to say to you Blue Teamers to myself… PS: Ignore the dungeon…

It appears that I will need to get a new freezer. I needed a break from that Presidential debate last night and decided to go and grab a dessert from the freezer. I see water on the floor in the basement. I must have caught it when the failure just happened, as the contents were still pretty hard frozen. I quickly transferred everything to my chest freezer in the garage. Time to get a new freezer I guess. They don’t make them like that anymore. It was a good one! So thankful I caught it on time - Would have lost well over 100 pounds of sausage, deer, elk, etc…

In one of the livestreams, there was discussion on putting coriander in summer sausage? More thoughts in this? Flavor profile? Reason to put in?
-
Masterbuilt - MES130G electric Smoked summer sausage last week and noticed wild temperature swings of over 30 degrees and inaccurate readings (I shadowed both the cabinet and meat probe with a 2 probe Maverick which I had checked) I never paid much attention high temp smokes since I figured setting the temp in the middle of the swing it would equal out and I don’t usually smoke summer sausage But I needed precise control this time for a low temp smoke and finish in Sous Vide Is this normal and is the only fix installing a PID and bypassing Masterbuilt control?

Bought these wieners from a well respected meat market an hour from my house. They are constantly busy all day long. Its amazing the amount of fresh meat they have in their cases. These were beautifully stuffed into sheep casings, for the life of me i have no idea how they get them so perfect. Real nice snap but darn near zero flavor. Such a disappointment.
