Glad you got good smoke Flavor. My shop always smells like smoke. It is so nice to open the door.
Pop's cure turns out great. I have settled in on about 1/3 cup of salt with his cure. I like lots of salt. So I would go a whole cup. Yet I am not the only one eating it. So 1/3 cups works for every body who has tasted mine. It is fool proof. If you fallow the recipe, Go the time. Keep it cold. You will have a nice cure hands off every time. i have done belly. Loins, Cornish hens in it
Happy smoken.
