Thank you. My next one though will be a day and 1/2 in the bucket. Upon reflection thats probably what I did with the first one, so I could get it in the smoker in two days.

Don't know how I missed this! Great smoke Kevin!

Thank you Sir. I really liiked the last one. A bit hammie on the outside where all the dark meat and fat are ( my favorite), and brined in the loin making it really tender juicy. AND its still extremely affordable.

Those look amazing! I love the idea of helping out the butcher too!

Thank you, its not exactly were I wanted to go, but its close enough for this smoke.

I hate to say it but its a store bought, will probably be a double smoke. Just too much going on this year. I hope you and your's have a great great holiday and the Easter Beagle brings you nothing but prize eggs!

Sorry, Foamheart. There is too much good food in Louisiana already. You have to stop making food this good or move.

Great looking chops!

Foam,

It could be the lighting, but doesn't the center look like the cure has not reached it?

Is there any particular reason for curing the whole roast instead of chops?

Yes, You don't get that hammy taste of cured. I believe the cure helps the speed the brining and when doing it for a short a time, I think it helps.

It has a very mild mild cure taste. 

You should try one and see what you think.

I like it.
