Dehydrated food
Jul 25 2010, 7:50 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 25 2010, 7:50 PM EDT
Having small kids we often have leftovers from dinner, being an avid camper / hiker I will often put the leftovers in my dehydrator and seal them in ziplock bags with the air sucked out. I rotate these meals about every 6 months or so. I keep a shoe box full in my carjust for the hell of it and munch them at work when I'm to lazy to pack a lunch.
I also smoke meats (any kind of meat) I have different rub recipies that I've come up with for different meats. I smoke only with hickory and/or apple. I actually made a decent chunk of change smoking Turkeys for Thanksgiving last year. I also do whole hogs (several times a summer)
Cured meats will last for a long time if prepared and stored correctly. If anyone has questions about smoking recipies feel free to E-Mail me wbfos@yahoo.com I'd be happy to swap recipies. (only a few of mine are secret)

"Cured meats will last for a long time if prepared and stored correctly."
This has often come up as a matter of debate on a few other forums to which I am subscribed.

Assuming "cured correctly", how long can cured meats actually last? And what storage conditions or temperatures are needed to make them last that long?
