Title: buckboard
Post by: Mossy on February 03, 2011, 11:53:41 AM: I know, another buckboard bacon post but I had to give it a try too. 13 days in fridge, butcher peppered the heck out of it, smoked at 200 degrees with hickory until 140. Sliced different thicknesses, cooked up a real thin one and thick, they both tastes like bacon to me. A little less pic heavy this time, but I took plenty.

Post by: Mossy on February 03, 2011, 02:37:33 PM: Yep, and I rub the sides before dumping the water each time. Did that a couple times.

I love the sealer, the plastic is spendy for this amount of work but the food lasts a long time. I experiment with thickness but I think for 9lbs, a knife would do just fine. But 10lbs? I don't know, I'd probably need a slicer for that.

Post by: DeerThug on February 06, 2011, 07:03:34 PM: My bacon is soaking. Looks good so far.

BUT is there a homemade cure mix. Don't mind ordering one, but the shipping is ridiculous. Could have bought two for the price of ups.
Title: Re: buckboard
Post by: Mossy on February 06, 2011, 08:07:25 PM: I'd look online. It is spendy to ship. I still have 2 more batches left in my kit though.
Title: Re: buckboard
Post by: WCTaxidermy on February 06, 2011, 09:12:58 PM: If your using the hi-mountain buck board bacon cure, before you order it online, check your local store in the meat section. I just found out last week that 2 of our local stores sell it right out of the store. I was shocked when I went down and saw it for myself. Just an idea. John

why is there a price difference for BBB at the different Wholesale Sports locations?
I bought my BBB cure there for $4.19

Not sure on the price because they were sold out. Their other brines and spices were 7.99. So I just assumed :chuckle:
