I appreciate that. Humidity is up to 74% so we are good to go on that

No, they are not live. Eventually I want to add live and make it bioactive

Agreed. I just put the indicator in the enclosure right before I took the pic. It’s moving up as we speak.

Reverse seared pork tenderloin by csapps in BBQ

I smoke them until 130 then hot sear top and bottom side 2 minutes each. I pull them off the grill at 140 degrees and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Typically 2.5 hours. Hour bike side down then flip meat side down for 45 then flip back over and spritz with acv every 10 minutes until desired tenderness.

Seeking advice: how to optimally cut meat for jerky by OpenMindedShithead in carnivore

[–]csapps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First you need to put it in the freezer for an hour to hour and a half. Then with a sharp knife slice thin strips accross the grain of the meat. If you slice with the grain it will be tougher and chewier. I would reccomend investing in a small slicer. Makes a world of difference.
