I have had this jowl in the curing chamber since 3/3 (10 days in fridge with Equilibrium cure before that). Starting weight was 930g, and it is currently at 780g. It was wrapped in collagen sheet, and I just removed that and rehung with no wrap. Typical parameters of the converted chamber are shown. I am using an external humidifier attached to a inkbird, and an internal dehumidifier always running. I assume the slow drying is partially due to the high fat content of the jowl.

I am a newbie, but have had other items cure in this chamber with no issues (duck breast, eye of round, lamb shoulder), and am wondering if it is just a matter of letting the jowl hang as long as needed?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

I'm fairly new to this. I've done two duck breasts and one eye of round with good results. Here are two pics of a lamb shoulder that has been in the curing chamber for about a month with a 36% weight loss. Concerns?
