OK, i have 3 quarters from a small pig I shot a few months ago. Was in my freezer for 2 months, now thawed out.
I have my prague #1, pickling salt and spices. I'm going to do a wet cure.
It was a small pig. The 3 quarters weight 8 pounds total. I want to experiment on this small amount before trying a larger one.
Given that none of the pieces are more than 3 inches thick, how long should I brine it?
Is 2 months in the freezer sufficient to risk a cold smoke, or should I hot smoke them?
Thanks.

Maybe you missed the part about a wet cure.

Ooppsie, my bad. Still wouldn't unless you plan on cooking to a safe temp.
