Wow! logged in to find the Old Fat Guy is back! It's obvious your presence was missed.

Glad to know you're doing well David. Maybe Sandy can keep you out of trouble.

Looks great! We have missed you OFG!

Glad you are still with us. Couple of us "older folk" were stalking you to make sure you were good. and you confirmed. Congrats on meeting Sandy and surviving your medical emergency.

Many of you won't know me. I was active on the forums for a long time. Then my wife passed away after a long illness. I tried to get back in the saddle and get on with my life but it just didn't seem to happen until I met Sandy. We are engaged and life looks brighter. However, there are always challenges. In June I had a medical emergency and almost left this mortal shell behind. I am feeling better and I am starting to smoke again as Sandy seems to like my humble efforts.

I posted on how to make Smoked Coppa years ago and I do like to have it around for sandwiches and pizza. The step by step link is here https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/smoked-coppa.292858/.

I had the coppa in the seasoned dry cure for 18 days. Then I tied it and put on a rub to smoke it in. I put it in the fridge overnight to form pellicle.

I smoked in the Bradley for 5 hours at 200 F but only had the smoke on for 2 1/2 hours with a combination of maple, mesquite, and hickory pucks.

I used it and some home made Andouille to make a great pizza.
