String works.   These bands are good to 600* or so.    I've also used elastic rotisserie ties..

Time to slice...



:o

Ok, after we staged a slight diversion - time to slice.



Bagged up and ready for the freezer.   Kept a sammich bag full in the fridge for snacking on.




Good stuff.  A bit on the salty side, but it tends to mellow out after some time in the chill chest.

I might look at mixing up Hab's "Basic Cure" instead of using MTQ next time.  And using some salt free Cajun spice..

I was wonderin if you cut back on the salt for the amount of Cajun spice ya added.

[squirtthecat]

I didn't add any salt, other than what was in the MTQ.   I'll mix the 'Basic Cure' next time, and just go 5 days in the fridge.  (thanks Keymaster for the tip!)

It's Ok, it was still very good.   Just have to drink an extra beer when munching on it..    ;D

Looks good Pat!

Did you have to put up a fight to use the slicer?
