Thread: Cold smoked venison haunch method please.

Hi
I'm looking into cold smoking a venison haunch. One place I found says smoke for about 6 hours.
Keith Erlandson in his book says about 7 days.
If anyone out there knows a good method please share.
Also is there a difference between a cured and smoked haunch and a ham (animal aside).
Erlansons smoke times are always much longer. Not sure why but I know things like smoked fish take days or weeks in the UK not hours. I'd be interested to know the difference.
I'm trying to get a handle on this cold smoking biz.
As an aside Erlandson was a springer spaniel nut. The only book my dog laid waste to was his. She was a springer. Bright bitch.
