Some will ridicule, but I really enjoy a burger from Ground Pati on Kali Saloom.


We like that one too. Nice variety. But we've gone there the past couple times we wanted a nice sit down meal burger. I think we're going to try Acadiana poboys.

I pass by that place every day. Looks like just a drive thru. I'm looking for a sit down place. I'll have to give it a try one day tho.

Sounds good but Fat Pats is pretty much a sports bar and kind of hard to do with kids. I have never tried the other 2. I'll probably go to one of those tonight. Thanks

Where to get a good burger

Anyone know of a place to get a good homemade hamburger in Lafayette in the evening with kids? Most of the places I think of are sports bars or chains, which I want to avoid.

Yeah it was how I wanted it. I cold smoked them for 2 days, 8 hours each day.

Nunu's. I use a little extra salt with it because it's a bit hotter than most mixes.

Will do. I have no shortage of ways to use up the butts lol. Lots of sausage. I'm thinking of a smoking them over a couple days, 8 hour smoke then rest then another 8 hour smoke using hickory, cherry, maple pellets.
:cheers: Post it up. I have a thread on here somewhere of my build I think. If not, I definitely do on some other sites. smoking meat forums, smoked-meat, smoker builder
Holee shite
The instructions say 1 tsp of cure #1 per 5 pounds meat. TQ is not the same as cure #1.

I made my smoker out of a dishwasher :nana:

Then I'll definitely smoke half like ham and cold smoke the other half like bacon.

Buckboard Bacon

Just Starting

I have a freezer full of butts so I thought I'd give buckboard bacon a shot. I have made belly bacon and it turned out well so I'm hoping this is just as good.

Here's the pork roast after I deboned and split it:


And here they are sealed up with the cure. I used a simple cure mix of salt, cure #1, brown sugar, and cbp:




I'm actually thinking about smoking one to a higher temp and making pulled ham with it...

That's it for a couple weeks
I cut the skin off of mine before curing and I flipped it every day. Don't remove the juice cos you'll be removing some of the cure with it and it won't be cured properly. I had mine vacuum sealed in the fridge for 2 weeks. How many ppm did you go on the cure?

ETA: This is my finished bacon
