Thanks guys, I brined it in a dry by cure of tender quick and brown sugar, then rubbed it with real maple syrup. Let it cure for 7 days. Then I smoked it at 180 degrees until a Internal temp of 150. O used 4 ounces of sugar maple wood.

Well Laura, now you are officially wrecked. Once you make the real deal, store bought just isn't the same. Nice job!  :)
