Its called a "Bacon hook" you can get them at Allied Kenco or Butcher Packer or any large butcher supply store. I dont no how to do the link thing or i would.
They are boath on the web
Looks really good 812,
I love my bacon hangers. Have 4 just like yours. They really work well I think.

What is the advantage of the hooks over racks ?
If I have a large load I do the rack-inverted rack thing.
Eight slabs of belly bacon in an OBS.
