Here goes nothin, first CB comming up.

[lynsey123]

Well here goes, my first CB.

it was about 6 1/2 lbs so I cut it in half.

When I opened the cryo pack one half of it looked like a tragic farming acident so I had to tie it up.

One has ready cure and paprica and the other has ready cure and tyme with some cbp.

Gone for a night night in the fridge for 10 days


TOTAL FAILER

I took it out to rinse it off, did the fry test a little salty.

deiced to smoke it anyways, went outside to fire it up and by the time I got bk in the smell of bad pork filled my kitchen.

Oh well better luck next time, in the trash it went. sigh

Hehe... farming accident... 10 days should be fine, Herb.

[lynsey123]

Thanks Rich,

About 1/2 way through I think I will take one out and add some Maple Syrup, think that will be Ok?

[Richtee]

See no reason why not. Altho, I'd not use the paprika one for that... ;{)

[lynsey123]

No your right I'm going to put it on the other one for sure eh?????

[doctor phreak]

lyn looking good....cb is probably the easist thing to do and it is soo good....cant wait to see the finished product

[curious aardvark]

yep it's one of those things that once you've done it you can't understand why more people don't.
And then you start curing everything you can get your hands on.
I've got a boned turkey thigh in the fridge at the moment, should be good :-)
Look forward to final pics :-)

[Bbqgoddess]

looking good, but 10 DAYS? not to differ, but i don't like my 3 lbers to go much beyond 5 daze.........and thats from cowgirl........rinse well, make sure you slice off abit, and fry it up, and taste it, to make sure its not too salty...........if it is, just soak the meat for abit.........slice some off, test it, till you like the salt content..........
