Hickory Smoked Pork Guidance From Iowa State College
Hickory smoked pork quality depends on proper smoking practices says an Iowa State College meat expert. Proper smoking prevents spoilage whether meat is brined or cured, advising soaking brined meat overnight, drying, and hanging in a smoke house above the fire using pine or hickory wood, with pine risking resinous flavor and hickory preferred.

Smoked Meat Flavor and Storage Guidelines
The best flavor comes from a slow smoke. If room temperature reaches 120 degrees the meat soaks up smoke too quickly and loses fat. Build a small morning fire for three or four days keeping a low flame, add hickory sawdust on the fire, and smoke until the meat is light brown. Dry cured meat is smoked the same way and can keep for a year in a dry mouse proof smoke house.

Famous Dawson Nearing End Yet A Gold Camp Of 1800 Remains
The once vast gold camp known as Dawson is fading, now home to about 1800 residents as mining activity dwindles and the famous camp declines from its peak. Local history and economy center on this shrinking community and its storied past.
Dawson City: gold exhausted and town dying fast
The writer recalls Dawson City as a once rich Klondike boomtown now fading. Desolate streets, empty shops, and shuttered hotels frame a population decline from 80 000 to about 1500. He cites exhausted gold, heavy migration by boat and ice, and the Guggenheims dredging the river as the last wealth. The only hope is a new strike elsewhere to revive outfitting.
