    Brined for four days inn salt, a dollop of dark malt syrup, black pepper, bay leaf and herbs. Watered it for twelve hours as the test proved it a little too salty, then smoked for six hours over white bearch. Don't really have a setup for cold smoking, so I kept the temp around 50-60C/125-150f. Nice smoke flavor. Will cold dry it for 24-48 hours before vacuumpacking and freezing. Today's test egg'n'bacon sandwich was a joy.
