Curing meat
Curing meat is an age old process. It has been used to preserve, intensify flavors, and make unpalatable cuts of meat acceptable for consumption. Most of us don't worry about the preservation aspect so much anymore, but if you've ever made a marinade then you've dabbled in curing (perhaps with out even knowing it). In this post I'm going to go over some of the ingredients needed to cure meat and introduce a couple of salt mixtures that can be very useful in curing your meats. I'll also go over some things that could be kept in your food storage.<br /> <!--more--><br /> First of all there are a couple of items that are needed to cure meat.

Taking Stock
One of my secret, very un-prepper-like joys is getting the call from my wife on the way home, stating that I need to pick something up. Who knows the reason, but usually that means I'm going to stop by Costco to pick up one of their roasted chickens. Then again, we tend to pick up one of these pretty often. Getting a whole chicken works out well, giving us several meals already largely prepared.
Review: Volcano Stove II
Last week I had the opportunity to get in on a group buy for the <a href="http://www.volcanogrills.com">Volcano II stove</a>. (Sorry, I would have shared the details but I found out about it <em>very</em> last minute and barely made it in myself!)

Wood burning stoves as a prep.
Here is Utah it is very common to have a basement, often fully finished. My house is no exception. Our basement is around 2,000 square feet with only two finished rooms, both bedrooms.
