Do you mean 'Weshing Felders'?

[adamw]

A 'Bottom Shot' (yes, maybe time for a name change?!) is simply a salute as part of a multi-break shell, so say you'd get 3 shell bursts then an almighty kaboom to finish the shell off. Those crazy I-talians etc love them.

yes i do meen weshing felders. do you know about it or just seen from my site?

If your buying food grade KNO3, I would assume its clear of impurities (within permissible limits as laid down by MAFF).
If you cannot ask your supplier for the spec then you might be able to research the % by finding out allowed strengths for meat usage on the Maff sites, MAFF is now called DEFRA, heres a link, its a good starting point if you want to do some research,

I hope its of use to you.

That WAS a bad link..

I found out about weshing felders from the pyro website. I can't find anything anywhere on KNO3 meat curing suppliers. At the moment all I got is fertilizer thats 11% pure which I refine

Thanks, to the Super for giving us a translation on the big chesty Italian bottom shot, (now that I know what it means, I can hold my head up high and I will probably get sectioned if I ever repeat those words in polite company).

I only put the link on, its the Gov that controls it, it was working when I checked it ......Honest.

I was chuckling to myself when I posted and could not seem to find the right words. I would have just made it worserer.
I dare to say that the Mrs. does have a pretty fair bottom view. I adore her. She sure ain't no nasty ole sea hag to be sure. Enough has been said already. This is serious stuff we are talking about. We better behave or Mr. Honcho will give us a whacking.:arse:

[Pyromaster2003]

i check it out now:), im sure this stuff is 100% pure tho. il read what it says on the 3Kg tub:)...''SALTPETRE(POTASSIUM NITRATE) 3 Kg

CONTAINS: PRESERVATIVE E252 100.00% FOR FOODSTUFFS

[PanMaster]

I doubt its THAT pure, technical 99.995% grade costs ?160 for 50 grams or an awful lot anyway

[Pyromaster2003]

i dont think it anywhere near that price, if it is, its a massive rip off. lappack sells 500g of 99% pure KNO3 for ?2.60;)

[smpip]

I have found this on many products.
Pricewise, 99% as compared to99.9998-100% purity, the difference being a massive price hype.
I simply go for the best deal I can get on the day.

E525 is Potassium hydroxide an acidity regulator.

[Pyromaster2003]
