The curebOS Takes Meat Curing Into the 21st Century

While you might think of meat curing that takes place in some sort of dilapidated shack in the wilderness, the curebOS takes an entirely different form: a heavily modified mini fridge controlled by a Raspberry Pi. According to its creator, the automated chamber generates “the finest meats my computer room has to offer.”

Conditions are sensed with a temperature/humidity probe, and the environment is maintained via the refrigerator’s compressor, as well as a circulating fan, ventilating fans, and a humidifier.

In order to keep track of how the meat is curing, there’s a small window to look inside, and stats are shown on a touchscreen above it. If that wasn’t enough, there’s even an Android app that displays the state of the system.
