Conversion charts

[afterhours]

Do you have a conversion chart for smoked meat accelerator and sodium erythorbate?

[afterhours]

afterhours I found it thanks

[Jonathon]

afterhours I’d recommend using a very accurate scale instead of the volume measurements I provided. It is far more accurate that way but if all you have is volume then those measurements provided should be very close to accurate.

Jonathon have you thought of putting the amounts in grams in addition in the charts

[Joe Hell]

craigrice Gram conversion is the way to go…or at least what works for me. For some of the additions that require a more precise measurement, a grain scale could be used.

[PapaSop]

Agree with Joe Hell craigrice. Grams is more accurate.

[craigrice]

Joe Hell as we speak I have 10 lb. of summer sausage in the smoker

[craigrice]

PapaSop that is why I asked some are some are not

[craigrice]

Joe Hell going to have rain tomorrow Wednesday will be snack sticks and maybe some cheese for xmass giving

[Joe Hell]

craigrice I’m waiting on an order so I can make snack sticks this week!

[Jonathon]

craigrice I am actually going to stop what I am doing right now (nothing too pressing!) and get on that, great suggestion, thank you

[Jonathon]

Joe Hell I see you are on, can you go to https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/700/cure-conversion-chart and tell me if you like it better as (0.8 oz) (22.5 g) or (4 oz / 113.2 g)

[Jonathon]

Okay, Cure conversion is done…someone tell me if they think the (0.8 oz) (22.5 g) looks better than the (4 oz / 113.2 g) cause I went with the second one

[AdamCA]

Jonathon I like it, looks good and is easy to read and understand.

[Joe Hell]

Jonathon I think that works just fine! When I get my seasonings in the mail the first thing I do is to mark each bag with the gram per pound conversion. If that could be marked on the packaging that would be great!

[PapaSop]

Jonathon
That looks great. Should be huge help for everyone, whichever way they’re comfortable with.

Jonathon can you check the conversion on “smoked meat stabilizer”? My print out for 5lbs says 2 tablespoons/.4oz/5.5G. Not coming close to this numbers on my scale or doing the math from 100lb batch bag.

[afterhours]

afterhours I’m coming closer to 12 grams

[Jonathon]

afterhours 11.2 grams is correct. I changed it, from 5.5. Sorry about that, the volume measurement was correct but I just double checked all the additives and there was one or two more that I somehow converted incorrectly. It seems like on those I halved the weight on the 5 lb batches. Very sorry, and thanks for catching it!

[afterhours]

Jonathon awesome… thank you
