    Bear, Followed your directions step-by-step, except I smoked two butts at once, took a total of 17 hours in my MES.

    First Smoked Salt

    I read this thread: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/125996/the-great-smoked-salt-experiment/0_100 and figured that if I did cold smoke it, I would need 12 hours to get the level I wanted. How long do you typically cold smoke yours?

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Smoked Chicken Legs

    Yes, it is. And the final product: The "rub" was very good, but more of a seasoning than a rub. Very salty but good flavor. I have some jerk rub I'll do next time.

    Smoked Chicken Legs

    I checked my IT at 2 hours and they were done, but I'm leaving the cold smoker on and turning the temperature back so they continue to smoke without cooking too much more.
