So after 6 hours of Alder smoke out she comes. The Bradley cabinet temp never got above 74F even when the ambient temp reached 90F as it was finishing....
Here is a picture of a slice close up...
And all packaged up with a cardboard backing in the vac bag...
Well first off make sure you have a proper slicing knife unlike me. The slices may not be pretty and paper thin but they are still edible.
That test slice sure tasted real good. Great smoke flavor and salty like it should be. Did not taste over salty. Gonna let them packages mellow overnight. I will give a full taste test tomorrow with some bagels, purple onion, capers and sliced tomato
