How I started,

I first  started smoking at home about 4 years ago.
Initially I used a 24cm stock pot that I found in a skip. It looked virtually brand new so that was quite a find.
I used loose tea leaves as the smoke medium. Placed on the bottom of the stock pot and then with a joint of meat on a support inside and the lid on. This was then put on a low heat source which caused the tea leaves to smoulder therefore producing smoke. I have upgraded this system to a proper smoking cabinet.

No, not that sort of smoking.

Well what sort of smoking then?
This is going to be a blog of my food curing and smoking exploits.
It will also include my attempts at making bacon (ooo err missus) and sausages.
