Tex_77 OOOHHH am I gonna have fun with https://www.drovers.com/news/ag-policy/usda-withholds-names-farm-subsidy-payment-recipients next podcast, I didn’t catch that one. We actually only had a few of the same stories this time!

Okay, there does not appear to be a way to set that up that I can find. i sent a message to the company to see if this is possible and if it is I will get it switched so it resets overnight instead of 24 hours.

I probably should have checked if it was possible first, sorry!

I am with Idaho Smokey I think the reason for the differences is the difference between cure #1 and cure #2. Cure #2 has nitrates and nitrites. The nitrates break down into nitrites, which break down into nitric oxide which provides the curing power. So, because we are holding for a shorter period of time than normal for using cure #2 they might have been calculating it by the amount of Nitrites in the cure, knowing that all the nitrate wont break down into nitrites in that time. However, the nitrates in cure #1 are a very small amount…it seems like a lot of cure for a 4 lb roast.

Jonathon I would prefer a midnight reset. It works great for my rotating shifts

Mcjagger I will try to take some photos of what I have been doing the next time I do it but it is fairly easy. I think I have been adding the vinegar a tad early in the process so I am going to try adding it later the next time I do it.

Odds are 1-50…we might have to adjust that. I don’t want to run out too fast but it might need to be quicker than that. I will revisit in a few days. Also, yes as Ric D'Intino says, it is daily but I think it resets at 24 hours, not at midnight. Would people prefer a midnight reset?

Tex_77 thanks for keeping us up to date.

Idaho Smokey that’s how I calculate mine…25% of the meat +water.

RandyNight yours looks great. I need to do a few of mine.

salmonmaster I’ve done it before. Smoked for 10 hours then as I was leaving for the night I put it in the sous vide until I got back in the morning and put it back in the smoker to dry it out a little more and recreate the bark. No matter which way you go I highly recommend finishing it up for at least a few hours in the smoker.
