Great book. Used my wine fridge for Prosciutto but will also be building a bigger unit with a commercial fridge I picked up at auction.

Corned venison roasts are a great spot to start. You can do it without any special equipment and it's completely idiot proof.

Since I started that, I always like to have some in the fridge if I can. It's the best way I've found to turn deers into lunch meat.

Full disclosure… I’ve been thinking about making Charcuterie for some time and searched of HW forums to see if anyone else was doing it. This thread turned up so I PMed some folks to see how their experiences have been.

I guess I’m taking the blame for Angry Perch re-starting his project!  :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

I’m absolutely brand new to this hobby.  I think we need a salumi get-together and share some knowledge.  :hello:   This new hobby shouldn’t take up too much time, I think, once the initial setup is done and product is hanging (notice I said product)! 

I'm looking for an upright freezer or frig as my curing chamber and looking at temperature and humidity controls.

On a recommendation of reading order, I’ve ordered this book:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982426739/ref

and will probably follow with:
https://www.amazon.com/Charcuterie-Craft-Salting-Smoking-Curing/dp/0393058298

Let’s keep this going.
Carl

I don't think they will allow " salami get togethers "...... It just doesn't sound right... :yike:

You have a point. Sausage fest is out of the question also. It'll require some thought...

Well, I changed "hanging the meat" to "hanging the product", but I missed "salumi meet-up".  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Salumi not salami. But I get it.  :chuckle:

 Last night I was explaining the set up to my wife. She asked if the fridge/ freezer would be an older model or a newer model. I had to fess up that it was going to be "pretty new". Like delivered from Home Depot new. But then I explained how much money we'd save in cured meats! She said something about a boat, and price per pound of fish or something... I don't know, I wasn't really listening...

Freezer delivered yesterday, and will start drilling holes tonight.
Pork belly in the brine for a dry cured Pancetta Arrotolata that will cure for 10 days or so, and then hang for a month or 2. Two venison roasts thawing and will attempt Venison Bresaola.

First batch of venison Tuscan salami is in the chamber. Goose prosciutto goes in tonight. Bresaola and pancetta go in this weekend.

Perch,

Is the temp and humidity holding within your parameters?
