And the end.

I used a standard rub cure pink salts,salt,sugar let them set in there for 9 days soaked them for a whole day- they were to salty on the fry test- then hung them in the garage for 24 hrs then popped them in the smoker.

Can you let us all know what you have done before getting it into the smoker?
