A real teaser Matt! :cool:
Road trip to Matt's !!!
Looks like an outstanding product, hard to resist the "just one more" lie we all tell ourselves. ;)
Glaze Day.

1/2 - 3/4 cup of real Maple Syrup, 2 small jugs of Rum Extract, then top it up in a standard squirter bottle with Bacardi Black.
The strips have formed a nice pellicle all round, and are just on the verge of going transparent.
Taking a tad longer than last go, but not too far off track.
Hose them down:

Under the fans again until the am check tomorrow.
Likely hit the other side with the glaze then, and fan until the next am.
Smoker getting dragged out & prepped tomorrow...
Likely smoking the next...
Cheers,

Due to the extreme humidity (as in constant rain) the strips took an extra day under the fans to dry sufficiently for smoking.
Had to ice down those on brine to get the temperatures right down - triple bagged blocks so as not to dilute the brine!

Then off to make the pick-up...
Final Day:

1.5 hours straight heat (125 degrees) to firm up the outside, then a 3 hour burn of 50 / 50 Apple Alder chips, followed by another single hour to set.
Already smelling fine around here...
Final installment on this run tomorrow, and the start of the next...
Cheers,

I think Noggin is trying to invite everyone to a party at his place.
Wrapped up just at dusk, then let it cool on the racks for a couple hours.
Turned out Excellent!!
