I’ve been learning all aspects of meat curing and smoking for my adult life (45 years young); my full-time business is this resource website I started five years ago; it’s one of the largest resources for meat curing and smoking on the interweb.
You will learn hands-on how to make cured meats, try smoked meats, and replicate whole-muscle meat curing and cold smoking at home with either farmed or wild meats.
FOOD
- Tastings and Lunch Provided – Some FUNKY cured meat tastings I’ll bring. Dry Cured Pork and some other surprises.
BRING
- Bring 1-2kg of your Quality Fresh Pork, Venison, or Beef, and we will do some meat curing with it; with you, take it home, or I can finish the process.
- Not aged meat; it can also be frozen and thawed.
