Today, I got my curing chamber up and running!

So, I travel a lot for work. When I say a lot, I mean each and every week. I tends to put a damper on my food experimentation, particularly when the wife refuses to take part in said experiments. Makes it hard to dream about getting a curing chamber set up. Well with a little extra holiday time at home and some Christmas money in my pocket I have my chamber running right now.

Gonna give it a week or two to run, make sure it's good to go. Gotta see how long the humidifier can last without water, make sure it's hitting the temps I want, and test the hygrometer and thermostat to make sure they are correct!

Anyone have some words of wisdom for someone starting out? I think I'm gonna start out with some guanciale, a simple whole muscle cure that should be fairly versitile cooking wise.
