Dedicated to good food, good drink and good friends.
I started uploading videos in order to create a video library for my children. Hopefully one day in the distant future they will look back on my site and remember all the "good things Tata made" and be inspired to continue the tradition with their children.
My goal is to upload videos and explain the entire process and recipe for making traditional Croatian dishes, homemade wine, rakija and mezza.
Please feel free to leave comments and share videos!

Design and Build a Cold Smoker
มุมมอง 41Kปีที่แล้ว
Guys, I apologize for the long video but there is a lot of information you need to know before you start building a cold smoker. A cold smoker can be used to smoke meat, fish, cheese, spices and even vegetables. Cold smoking helps preserve foods to be eaten at a later date and also adds flavor to food.

Whats cooking?

How does it not grow any mold though??
Depends on the year, some years are more humid, this year I didn't get any, others they get a bit.
Painful to watch
I paid $120 for a 12kg leg
How long will that last vacuum sealed?
About one year, after that the flavor starts to diminish
actually if ur making rolled pancetta, ur gonna wanna use cure #2
its pancetta in italy
that said, i also dont use instacure with whole muscle.
that bit about instacure #2 is a little misleading. if the meat has been dry hanging for over 30 days, then all the nitrates and nitrites have converted into something else which is safe to eat and can be cooked. the danger part is when u cook it before the 30 days are up and there is still nitrates and nitrites in the meat. its similar for instacure #1 but instead of 30 days, its 24 hours. so if ur looking to smoke sausages, make sure to wait 24 hours after adding the insta#1 cure before starting to smoke. also something else, dont eat anything that has insta#1 before 24 hours(i kno i kinda already said that lol) and dont eat anything with insta#2 before 30 days, even if its lost enough weight.
some people use cosher salt, you use sea salt. what is your opinion?
May I have your recipe please?
have you tried it with kosher salt?
Bravo majstore
What kind of pump are you using?
Just a cheap water pump from menards.
Definitely your of polish decent , American l take it👍. I'm polish in Australia at this very moment I'm smoking Topside beef in large strip pieces. 120kilos 3 -4 days smoking but a stone filtered fire in my tin shed
Looks great!
Jedem ja New York strip svaki dan na posao
Love to have one, but they are pretty expensive.
Vrhunski napravljeno....
Do you have a link for the dryer vent box? I can't find one like that, thanks!

@VelebitMountainMan thank you, I did find this but it looked too long. I'm assuming you cut it down to size then. Thank you, again.
Yes, I modified it, I remember cutting it down and flooding over a bottom flap to create a box.
Yummy
There are 2 versions one is PP and it is floating lid tank where an air-tight seal is achieved by applying oil around the floating lid and the other one is a PZ air cap tank like in the video. We have something similar to PP (but from a different company) because of less maintenance and component count so fewer things can go wrong.

What diameter of pipe should be used? Is 4 inch large enough?
Yes, I use 4" and it's plenty.
@@VelebitMountainMan Thank you. Should the outlet pipe from the house be the same size or can it be larger or smaller?
Good question, I talked about that in the video and am drawing a blank right now. I know for a fact it can't be smaller, it must be at least the same size or larger to create a proper draft.
Just rewatched the video, didn't mention the exhaust diameter. At a minimum it should be the same area as the supply. Mine is adjustable to help control the draft. I wouldn't go more than double the area of the supply, it will definitely affect the draw of oxygen for your fire. If possible add a way of dampering the exhaust for fine tuning.
Can appreciate all of your concerns for sanitary work space. Is your basement work shop / work bench as sanitary as the process that you are trying to teach to us???
How do you air dry meat in hotter countries though? and smoking as well my smoker before starting is at 30 degrees , like the outside temperature.
if you Let it Dry all the way you can Grade it on pasta With a Yolk
Don't pesty animals try to get to the meat?
I've never had any issues. To be safe I added metal lath at the top of the smoke house which is the only point of entry.
Thank you very much for your very clear information
Stop rubbing your meat and get on with it!
Best way to celebrate 🎉
Does it work for beer as well ?
If the beer isn't carbonated it would. I have to degas some of my wines before using the machine.
Great Information I do Have a Question I Built and Meat curing Box out of a refrigerator and I have controllers to manage the humidity 80 and temp 50F I started with 3 Pork loins and a pancetta I have a small fan also I seem to have a lot of white with Dark Green Mold growing all over everything that's in the Chamber mor then I would expect I guess is my concern. There are no bad smells, I did take them out washed them with white Vinegar and I am just don't know if there's an issue Boy any Thoughts would be very much appreciated! Really enjoy your Video's Thanks for all that you do Truly John
Since it's whole muscle I would drop the humidity lower. I'm also building a refrigerator cure box, I've been doing some research, looks like 65-70% is better in a sealed environment like a fridge. Also it's much more critical with sausage than whole muscle to maintain proper humidity.
Have been watching your videos, learning alot. Cant thank you enough. Much appreciation
More to come, than you brother! Hard winter, too warm, didn't get any meat cured or smoked. Going to do a refrigerator build this summer.
@@VelebitMountainMan I'm a south side cro myself, living in whiting, indiana. So I know. My wife finally gave me the ok for a build. Tell ya man you have been a life saver. I am learning so much.
The cure is really because you will be holding it in the "danger zone" of food temps while smoking. This is because under 40F it will not absorb smoke well, and above 150F fat will begin to render. Bacteria multiplies exponentially in this temp range, which is why the cure is an important part of the process. Traditionally, the salt amount negated this bacterial growth- but the salt amount makes the product almost inedible until soaked and rinsed.
What is the best temperature to keep you meat at?
38F - 42F during the curing process, after its cured and reached equilibrium, you can raise the temp to 55F during the drying stage.
As soon as you said ply wood with silicone and then stain.... But put in a filter for the smoke. Then the temp/ humidity probe is on the inside. When you opened the door and your temperature probe fell it really sums it up for me. You said it right there at the end... Build it right. Cute drawings but in practice this isnt the smoker for me. Ill stick with my tried and true methods and not this overpriced chemical box
Hi, so you have the meat fresh, then smoke then salt and hang? And how cool are you keeping the meat at for hanging?
th-cam.com/video/OoJnEzFzE5Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=69wW3ydPxqwkthrc Watch this, much more detail about curing meat
you have it hanging on racks in your shed. How do you keep the flies from getting to the meat? Does the salt make them not want to get on the meat or is it because you are up north and it is cold. I am in texas and it is never cold long enough to get rid of the flies.
Saw this video on my feed! What is your smoke house made from? Ceder? Really thinking about making one. Nice set up!

The quality of the lumber is really based upon the type you are buying as well as what you are willing to pay, nothing more, nothing less. The cheaper the plywood.......the more defects & problems. Tongue and groove would be a better option than plywood, mainly because of the glue used in plywood. If using plywood and I could afford the outrageous stuff, I would go with the hardwood types. Just one man's opinion....nothing special.
Agreed, built it during covid, no lumber in stock had to use what they had
solana Nin hahaha ovaj put radio i Grdović nisu u backgroundu :) ,thx for video
How come the humidity dries the slanina? Do you use a dehumidifier afterwards? I did all the steps except the last curing one with the humidity and it came out chewy. Wondering if this last step is what makes it melt in your mouth tender? Cheers brother 🍻
The humidity just allows for the meat to dry evenly. When the humidity is low in the room, the outside of the meat dries quickly and forms a skin. The skin keeps the middle moist and mushy. With humidity added, the meat dries evenly. The inside is as dry as the outer layers. You can keep the room 65-70% that is usually enough to do the job, maybe a little more maybe a little less, depends on the meat and the room.
@VelebitMountainMan thanks for the reply and this great video! My slanina is curing in the garage now with the humidifier. What you said totally makes sense.
the silver skin is called fascia... its the membrane that can be tuff or rubbery
How much meat do you eat....lol You must sell some, that's a lot of eating.
You think $2.99 is high wait till 2024 it is $5.20 per pound
Fucking communist are killing the middle class... don't get me started
