Looks great from where I'm sitting. What was your curing process? Amounts of cure, salt. sugar, etc.

I used 28 grams of Prague, 168 grams of salt, 18 grams of pepper. Flipped every day in fridge for 15 days. Then rinsed off, put in fridge for 2 days
Low smoked for 2hrs for 3 days. Froze then sliced. I added the maple extract in the bag while curing.
