Homemade Smoked Lunch Meat?

[navionjim]

I haven't seen Deejay Debbie around for a while (where the hell is she anyway) but she was doing great things with lunch meat a while back. She had some fancy caseins she used that I don't have, I was thinking of the netting / sockenett concept and just wondered if those Costco boneless skinless thighs couldn't be brined, seasoned, sprinkled with gelatin, then wrapped tightly in cheese cloth and smoked?

I just got my new Weston 10" slicer yesterday and I'm planing on firing up the homemade smoker I just acquired for the first time this weekend for a test smoke. I figured I'd do something simple like a fatty and maybe some ribs, but it would be great to smoke something I could slice too. I don;t have a fancy netting machine but I think I could get a pretty tight wrap with cheese cloth, roll it up sort of like a fatty and twist the ends. The smoke should penetrate the cloth and I'm thinking and the gelatin would stick it all together for slicing once chilled.
Has anyone tried anything like this before?

I just go to my local butcher where i buy my casing and he gives me a netting he uses for ham and that works great
