Title: First Smoke
Post by: OmahaBen on July 24, 2010, 03:40:00 PM
People gave me lots of great ideas of what to try first, but when I saw the Bacon Explosion I knew that would have to be it. 

The starting ingredients.

Not bad for my first try at a bacon weave.  Wasn't that hard with the instructions on the forum.

Hopefully I get some after pictures before the eating begins.

trust me.  This isn't something you wolf down.  There is a ton of flavor packed inside that weave.  I'm sure you'll have time for plenty of pictures.

Yer on your way now, just don't forget at fatties have no limits, I have used spinach, pepperoni, many cheeses, shrooms, bust out some brat, any flavor, I like the hot Italian for a fatty. Every one is a new adventure! Bring up the heat if you like with Cayan and Japs! It's all fun!

I've yet to give those a try.  Looks like you've got it down pat.  Very nice weave.  Looking forward to the "after" pix.

Sorry about the delay in the after pics, but last nights beer drinking seems to have slowed everything down today. 

The final Product.

The taste and flavor was unbelieveable.

I used 3 hours of hickory smoke at 220 F.

Nice job OB.  As others have said, nice weave too.  The final product looks really good.

I've got a left over biscuit and with a slice of that in between I can see a tasty breakfast at work in the morning. Yummy!

Thanks for reminding me.  Did ABTs yesterday.  Everyone had some.  The "leftovers" were on a plate in the kitchen.  Every time I went in there, there were fewer on the plate.  I grabbed the last one, wrapped it up and put it into the fridge.  Sounds like a good snack for tonight.

You aced that bacon weave to perfection.

That is a work of Art.

Is that Grilled bacon in the center?

Killer deal.

I think I'm going to have to make some biscuits tonight so I can try that in the morning.

The bacon in the middle was just pan fried.  I started with 2 pounds of unsmoked thick cut bacon.  I end up using about a pound and a quarter to make the weave.  The rest of it, I just chunked up and tossed in a frying pan quick.  I just stirred it around till it started to brown up a little, and then spread it out over the Italian sausage.
