This last batch I made, I brined half and dry cured the other half.
I hot smoked so it would be cooked through.

If you want to you can cold smoke it below 100 just to add the smoke flavor and not cook it.

which method did/do you like best curlygirl?

wet or dry?

 

[cowgirl]

Deud, I liked both. The dry method is the old stand by...it turns out every time. I like to experiment with the brine cures.....I liked the extra garlic and pepper on this batch.

I have always used the dry method and it always turns out great
