Hi mountain buck board bacon?

[338lapua]

If I use hi mountain to cure my pork butt can I cold smoke it or do I need to hot smoke it? I have looked for the answer using the search function and failed.

Does the seasoning have cure in it? I think it does. If it does you can cold smoke it.

Look at the ingredient list.

Hi mountain cure and seasoning packets are exactly what they say....   A cure packet and a seasoning packet....  

If you used the packet of cure on the recommended size hunk of meat, or weighed out accordingly, let sit in the refer for 8-10 days or so....   you are good to go....

The packet should tell how much nitrite, % of nitrite in the packet, and how much meat to add it to or something like that...

If you use Hi Mountain, be sure to give it a "Salt-Fry Test" before smoking it.

Out of all my curing & smoking, a Buckboard Bacon that I used "Hi Mountain Cure & Seasoning" on was the only thing I ever had to soak to reduce the extra salt flavor.

After that I went with Tender Quick, and that has never happened again.

Here's an easy one I did not long ago:
