Ron,
Thanks for the quick response! Let’s see if I can shed a bit more light…
I am talking about an older full size refrigerator/freezer combo in my garage. It’s worked quite well for all the projects I’ve thrown at it over the last few years and I believe the circulation is good, but what should the humidity be?
I live in the middle western part of Indiana, right on the Illinois border so I can imagine you understand the weather this year quite well! Again though, I’ve had several days where I have found the fridge to be teetering on freezing due to the cold. Tonight I opened up the door for about 15 minutes and got the temp to 34. I agree 2 weeks is short and I’m not at all ready to pull it out, but I was under the impression that I would have lost quite a bit more water weight by this time.
I definitely don’t plan on cutting off all of the flavorful bark as I’ve seen mentioned in several other posts. Another question on that topic is, what can I do with that precious bark? It seems like such a waste to toss it. Worst case, I’ll make dog treats out of it for sure!
One last question….What’s SWMBO??
Thanks again!
