does anyone know the formula or a calc to convert the amount of cure required in a recipe depending on nitrite percentage? most recipes i see either use cure #1 (6.25%) or Kwikcureit (11%) and the cure i have is 12% (i dont remember the brand off the top of my head) so im after a way to adjust for t...

Thanks hoddo Yeah I plan on mounting the generator outside and also looking at a basic water jacket cooler for the output pipe using an old car windscreen washer resivour and pump. As for running it when ambient temps are cool that could prove a bit more difficult since I now live in central qld (pr...

Hi all So I have made a "cocktail shaker" cold smoke generator and I'm in the process of gutting our old dishwasher for a cabinet Now on to the question - to keep the temp low inside the cabinet I plan on using ice and salt and what I would like to know is 1. Will this be enough to cool so...

If yes to 1 and I put up some pics is someone able to double check my identification (last thing i wanna do is find out i can use brush box then mak...

I reckon it would be easier to try and get temps higher then it would be to try and lower them.

Thanks
