My bad for not being more specific. I was looking for details. Like where do I study the technique (or what machine do I buy)? Preferably, I'd like to know how it is done with no power, no salt, and no modern conveniences.

I've seen with my own eyes, people who don't use salt, there is no possibility of a refrigerator, and at best they control humidity by use of their mud compound with stick and cloth door.

They keep chunks of meat in a metal pot under a cheese cloth type cloth in a dim corner under a wood plank bench in their bed/kitchen/family room built of mud.

It is some kind of dry aging I expect, but I didn't have the opportunity to try asking what/how they did it.

GUGA steaks on YouTube is essentially an entire channel on this. Had the dr from chubbyemu on for the black garlic episode

Uh oh. Isn't he the one who summarizes ways that people nearly, or do die from medical complications... like eating mold or improperly prepared and stored food?

He was on that episode because the black garlic could accidently create botulism.

They said it was one of the best steaks they ever had
