No,just plan ahead to make soup and buy them. Split pea soup is one of those things thats result's from me wandering in the kitchen and thinking"what should I make for lunch" and I alway"s have dried split peas, stock, onions, garlic, carrots on hand.
The only thing I smoke is Salmon. It's the only way I really like it.
I have thought about curing my own hams though. My crawl space is a constant 45 degrees, year round.
