well it worked ok. might be to salty for us. we have a daughter w/ some medical issues and salt is very regulated so anything w/ more than our normal tastes REALLY salty to us. i have not sliced it all up yet so i was only getting the skinny end but it did have really good flavor. I think i should have soaked it all night.

PNE. Something that I do to check for salt before smoking it is to slice off a piece and fry it and do the ole taste test. If too salty you can still soak it some more.

Boy I gotta come here BEFORE I start my stuff..I ALWAYS end up with too salty.. and then i come here and read and I obviouysly am not soaking long enuf..(maybe 10 min). If nothing else this stuff is great in my bean soup..and i make bean soup every week.. I have jars of it.. and cases of jars. lol.
Thanx for all the info folks.. Now I just gotta convince myself to come here first..

I rinsed it VERY well. soaked it about 3 hrs changing the water every 30-40 minutes. It could be just me. We usually eat very low sodium everything so it could just be our palettes. It will be great in baked beans
