Today we helped check off an item on our neighbor's "bucket list." He has wanted to cure and smoke a pig. We built an old fashioned smokehouse from another neighbor's old barn boards. The cured pork belly, hams, and shoulder roast -- in addition to some cheese -- went in this morning. We built a fire in an old cast iron stove. The cold smoke worked its magic for 6 1/2 hours.
We tested the cheese mid-afternoon. It was yummy! The coup de grace was bacon as part of dinner. Everything was better than we imagined. We'll definitely do this again next year.
