Bacon is done curing, now to smoke.

Hickory biscuits, an hour and twenty minutes (roughly) of smoke, 3 hours (total) heat at 200*F.

Tasty!

Update: This one was much better than our previous attempt, due in part to the better meat, and in part to measuring out the cure. Last time we dredged it, and it was a little harsh.
