Cool. Just curious though, you say You're waiting for high temp paint to arrive. As far as I know if that is aluminum paint won't stick unless it's primed with zinc chromate or an etching primer of sort and I don't know if it is high temp. Just thinking outloud here.
I live in Northampton County and was in Lehighton for Thanksgiving Dinner at my cousin's house. I thought your handle nepas meant NE Pa. with the s for smoker maybe. You going to do any deer hunting while you're here?
I went back to the same grocery store today and spoke with a different butcher. He tried to help me find the Mortons. I asked him if he used a cure. He uses kosher salt and said there was salt in the soy sauce so that should be good. It was funny, as I think I said before, he said it doesn't...

The price seems good for what appears to be 100% hickory (not sure if 100% cherry or maple but I sent them an inquiry) and free shipping.
Just curious why you would dry the meat for 90 minutes. Smoke is attracted to wet meat from what I've learned. That's one of the reason why people spritz their briskets and shoulders. It doesn't do anything to moisten the meat since it's already pretty much sealed in the first hour.
