Simple SPG rub, post oak smoke, and a long overnight cook.
Bone-in pork shoulder with mustard binder and tangy vinegar sauce.
3-2-1 method with a sweet heat glaze.
Eye of round, cured and hung. From raw beef to Italian charcuterie in your garage.
The gateway charcuterie project. Salt-cured duck breast, hung for 2 weeks. Impossibly easy, absurdly good.
Pork belly, curing salt, maple syrup, bourbon. Cold smoke for 8 hours. Never buy store bacon again.
Home dry aging with a dedicated fridge, salt block, and fan. The nutty, concentrated flavor is worth the wait.
The long game. Three months of controlled decomposition for a funky, blue-cheese-forward flavor profile.
How I converted a $200 used fridge into a dry aging chamber with a fan, salt tray, and temp controller.

Started at 10 PM, wrapped in butcher paper at the stall. Pulled at 203°F when the probe slid in like butter. Rested 2 hours in cooler. Point was absolute money.
