Thanks everyone.
Oddly I am eating the lean stuff sliced very thin with cane syrup on it and raw.
It is on the tough side but I have teeth still.
Salty but the syrup cuts it.
I just had some this way for supper with eggs cane syrup and buttered toast.
Sort of like a poor mans prosciutto made with beef.
Cant wait to try the stuff made form pork.
Several times while smoking I took it out and washed the salt off dried and back in the smoker.
There was a lot of salt.
No way will this stuff spoil.
