Picked up a whole Pork Loin to make Thai Jerky and CB

Started the CB on 2/7/17 so it has been 14 days curing

Gave it a 15 minute soak dried and tied

Good start!

I like the idea of hanging it!

Too bad you didn't have a sockinette!

I'd slice tomorrow after resting in the frig. Cold meat slices better.

What works best for me is wait 36 to 48 hours. (If I smoke it Friday, I slice it Sunday)

Then freeze for 3 hours before slicing.

Done it longer--No difference. IMHO

I let mine rest in the fridge for 5-7 days.  

It works, trust me.
