I purchased a large volume of apple pellets a couple of years ago and store them out in my waterproof shed.

I just finished my first ever brine and used the recipe of a dry rub from the book Charcuterie.
I had the option of adding real maple syrup or honey to the bellies and I did one of each. Dummy me did not mark them so I don't know which is which.
I just took them out after 8 days, rinsed them...
My name is Brian and I live on the coast of Maine, USA. I have been hot smoking for a few years and came to this forum while searching for cold smoking ideas.
What a great forum. I am using a WSM 18 and just purchased Todd's Amazn smoker and now have 14 lbs of belly curing in the fridge...
