I live close to a couple reputable butchers, so I'm assuming that they would be able to get whatever I requested. I'm not certain, though. From what I've read, the key to transforming an ordinary fridge into a curing fridge is a humidity regulator and humidifier. Apparently, the humidity needs to be kept around 50%, give or take. I have no idea what the humidity of my refrigerator normally is. Also, I've read different things about nitrates and nitrites, some saying they're perfectly safe in the quantities that are needed for curing, while others say you can cure fine without them, so why risk it.
