Dutch Loaf

[ACW3]

Pam,
That looks good.  Between you and Cliff making Dutch Loaf, I may have to try it when I get back home.  The wife and I are on a one week trip through Charleston, SC and Wilmington, NC and surrounding area.  I miss my own bed and my MAK!!

Art..sounds like a great trip..have a good time..you and your bride. I am going to slice the dutch loaf this morning as soon as I dig out the slicer. It's packed in the basement..real easy to get to..just in case..can't wait to see what it tastes like..there was a lil discrepency on the cooking temp tho. I smoked at 200º for 8 hours...with the cure #1 and that temp is sposed to be for hot smoking. I heard that he cold smoked at 140º..so we shall see. It's a learning thing. Where is Rick when I need him?  lol..Have a good trip. The MAK will be ready when you get back..your bed is waiting for you too..LOL.  Pammie  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Cliff.. I am going to slice up my dutch loaf pretty soon.  Can I get a pic of the texture of yours? Seeing as how I can't taste it. Will post pic of mine. I wanna see the difference between cold and hot smoking the same thing. We may be on to something here.
Question..did you smoke the entire time? Nevermind, dumb question..if you cold smoked..duh. I did with pecan wood. Smelled so good too.  I did use 1 Jim Beam puck, because I had them.

Here's a pic:


I cooked it at hot smoke temps (about 170°) the whole time. No cold smoking.

OMG...This is the best stuff. I sliced the loaf this morning..got a few pics..but the taste is better than a deli. I sliced about 1/4" thick and started eating immediately. Good stuff. Will never buy that from the deli any more. I am amazed and I did it. Lemme show you some pics I took of the bottom , top and slicing. 
Cliff..mine is a lil different, texture wise, but that taste is great.  I see that yours is a finer texture, but I like mine too. I will work on that for the next time.. Again thanks for all your help.

You are most welcome! I'm thrilled that it turned out so good for you and that you like it so much.   


Nice smoke flavor choice too; I bet the Pecan, with a touch of the Jim Beam, gave it a really good flavor!
