Cold Smoke Protects, Hot Smoke Destroys

THC degrades rapidly past 356°F. Myrcene flashes at 150°F. Cold smoke at 68-86°F preserves 90-95% THC IF you infuse the cure, not the smoke.

Cannabis-Cured Salmon Gravlax - 3mg per oz

Salt + sugar + dill + lemon zest + 2 tsp infused olive oil. Cure 48h. No heat ever. Clean, floral, silky. Slice thin.

Low-Temp Duck Confit - 7.5mg per leg

Duck legs cured overnight, confit in infused duck fat at 200°F for 12 hours. Silk, not high heat. Crisp skin to finish in hot pan.

Infused Tallow & Lard

Render, clarify, cool to 160°F, infuse with decarb. Best carrier for savory preservation. 3-month fridge life. For roasted potatoes, biscuits.
