I am not sure how I found the english forum but I am glad I did. I used to browse the polish side through google translate when I had moments to kill.
I have hot smoked food since about'99 or 2000, (Brethren as nbbd) Steadily increasing projects to try along the way. I hunt and fish and we butcher the deer ourselves so making fresh sausages and jerky making was also learned along the way.
About 2 years ago started reading about curing meat. 1 year ago started making our own bacon, hot dogs, corned beef, ring bologna pastrami...
Just this week finally took the plunge for dry curing. Pancetta and bresaola in the cure.
I work in Education a part of me dreams of just walking out learning the meat cutting trade
