Buckboard cure just arrived!

[JD McGee]

WooHoo...I'm stoked! Happy Halloween to me:-D:biggrin:. It also came with a cool catalog...I can get in all sorts of trouble now:twisted::twisted::twisted:

Jd, The fun begins.

You'll love it. Just be patient though, and give it a full ten days at least.

Just a note for fellow do-it-yourselfers, I just sliced up my most recent batch of buckboard. I made my own cure. Morton tenderquick and brown sugar, 50-50 mix. After I cured it (14 days) I rinsed, triple soaked in a cooler with water and ice. I changed out the water after one hour. I tied them up and injected with 50-50 mixture of Maple syrup (real) and water. Smoked them with apple chunks. One of my best batches yet.

That sounds completely do-able!!!

Joe, if you look at the box, its tenderquick,brown sugar and some kind of powdered maple sugar along with some anti caking stuff.

Have you put it on your Butt yet?

 

[Smokin Gator]

I got my cure last week and did two butts yesterday. After boning the were 5.5#s and 4.5#s. Pork loins went on sale yesterday so I will probably pick one up today for some Canadian Bacon as well.

I can't wait to try this stuff!!!

Yulonutz, thanks for the tip... not that I need it right now... I still have 2 1/2 boxes of Hi Mountain left!!!

Yelo - I'd be interested in more specifics of your DIY... Particularly how much of the 50/50 rub do you use for a butt (a Tbs, a cup, a pound?) Guessing you rub it, wrap it and fridge it for the 14 days. Also, how much liquid did you need to inject (roughly) Thanks in advance!!!

Will do...I'm leaning toward 14 days.

Not yet...it'll be a weekend project.

I used it in the same amount as the Hi-mountain rub. Place in a gallon zip lock bag as put in fridge for 2 weeks. I use 3 cups of mix (1 1/2 syrup, 1 1/2 cups water) for 25 lbs of bacon.

Buckboard cure is on...let the wait begin!

Any of you guys age the last day or so uncovered to form a pellicle?

Yelo, is tender quick a grocery store item?
I'm thinking about making a bunch of buckboard and selling to this one micro brewer in CA:wink:

I don't think they allow that in Az. I might stop by next week on my wat to the comp at Rawhide. Do you mind if my dog uses your parking lot while I charge a coke ? :twisted:

Not a problem, as long as you don't mind the neighbor kids siphoning your gas/diesel and painting your vehicle!!!!
