Thanks for the replies, and yes, I did do this in the smoker I was working on, which I slacked on putting up some pictures. So here she is, her name for the time being unless I can think of something better is "Big Bertha" :) Only used the AMNS in here and had the bacon in there for about 7...
laugh all you want, but those boards clearly look like pine boards to me. You're not supposed to smoke anything using any kind of evergreen, and I can imagine the piney flavor that may be infused from using pine boards. Or if they're really dried out, maybe it's a non-issue.

That is.. unless anyone thinks I can soak it...
Thanks Martin! Next time I do the bacon curing, it's going to be 5 days rather than 7 for sure. As for the ham, I will keep rolling with the punches and will just have to see how salty it is when it's done i guess. It's all a learning process for me as this is my first time dry curing a ham...
