Nah, I prefer my meat in the fridge, not hanging on a rope at room temperature. But I can see it as a good poor-man's way of curing meat. I suppose in a way it cooks as it hangs there. But you've got to let it go a while. When the kids get hungry and cry, "Daddy, Daddy, can we have some meat soon?", Daddy responds, "Gonna have to wait a bit, it's not dead enough yet." Too much life in dead meat is trouble. Gotta give it some time. As for me though, I'm talking about 6 days in the fridge. Man, what an addiction that is - the fridge. Electricity in all forms, we rely on it a lot. If it ever goes down nationwide, oh man, within a week pure chaos would reign. Then guys like you, Bigwheel - I can tell - guys like you will reign like kings.
