I have 4 chunks of loin curing in Pops Brine: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/110799/pops6927s-wet-curing-brine
Today will be day 9 and I will pull it out and set it in my fridge to dry before smoking it tomorrow evening.
I've read way to many CB threads and looking for some guidance on how to proceed with these smoke wise. Following Martin- Diggingdogfarm's thought process of "only cook it once", I would like to cold smoke 2 of the chunks. I can keep my fridge smoker as low as about 65 with my AMNPS with the temps as low as they are right now. How long should I go or is it purely by preference of how much smoke I want?
For the 2 chunks I'm going to bring to 145 IT, I planned on cold smoking them for as long as I end up doing the other 2, pull the AMNPS and cold smoked chunks and slowly bump the temp up to 180 till they hit 145 IT.
Thoughts?
