M/l barrel steel is not made for salt to be used in it. Black powder is bad enough w/o adding more corrosives to it.
Makes great fire starterBeen saving bacon grease from microwaving strips for breakfast. Currently storing in a lidded plastic gallon icecream container. What are some good uses for this product in muzzle loading?

Nearly all of our supermarket meats are cured or "cured" with sodium nitrate and table salt (pink curing salt).I see Poster being advised not to use Bacon Grease as a patch lube due to the salts used to cure bacon. I have no idea how bacon is cured in the U.S.A but here Saltpetre/potassium nitrate is used to cure bacon/ham/salami and such. It`s the same Saltpetre used in making Black Powder. You are putting the same salt`s in the barrel every time you load with Black Powder so what`s the difference, I`m confused.
I remember as a Kid rubbing Potassium Nitrate with water into legs of pork to cure it and a few years back talking to a Butcher who used the same commercial brand Potassium Nitrate for Bacon as I do to Make Black Powder.
I just use Olive Oil for patch lube and don`t intend using anything else.

Shoot a few young, tender squirrels and fry them in said bacon grease. Make a big batch of German tater salad and call me so I can be there when it's ready. I'll bring the amber liquid.Been saving bacon grease from microwaving strips for breakfast. Currently storing in a lidded plastic gallon icecream container.

Is there any other way to fry eggs?
I was just reading today that the cholesterol/heart disease connection has never been "connected". Acceptable scientific papers still refer to it as "The lipid ( cholesterol) HYPOTHESIS" (my upper case).think my cholesterol went way up just reading this post
