The kids hammered my supply of bacon a couple of weekends ago. So I made another batch. Not a lot of photo's
In the smoker catching the last bits of smoke before turning up the heat.

Kids are lucky to have someone makin' tha baconin' ;D
Thought you had a meeting at the summit with some of
the great minds of the world today?
My stomach started to growl as I scrolled to the final pic. I definitely need to give this a try. Guess it's time to learn to cure! Thanks for the visual inspiration.

Dang - now that looks awesome.
I can't wait to make some!
Nice looking Bacon!
Time for another batch! The kids and the wife polished it all off this morning.
DAMN!! Son you weren't kidding about the bacon were you! Now that's the kinda bacon the Big Man intended us to eat!!
If PETA thinks I'll choose veggies over that then they really need help! ;D
So when you going to pass out samples??? You know, I want to change the "no pictures = no cook" to you have to send out for "taste test or no cook!" ;D
Tenpoint, I will start to roll the smoke in the morning on the twenty pounds of bellies, I have been curing for seven days using your recipe. Ten pounds I added two ounce of Rum to just to test the flavor. Can't wait to taste and post pictures.
I love me some bacon...
BACON...BACON!!
I gotta find me some bellies. Might have to drive a few miles I guess.

Heck even on a rainy cool day it works.
Caney Let me know if I need to make a call to the locker plant. The butcher on Tuesdays they ask I order by the Friday before. Last batch was $2.89 a pound.
That's some really good looking bacon and it wouldn't last long around our house either!
Caney... Not likely it will work... Maybe too complicated...
But, I will be driving the middle distance between y'all (4hrs) for Turkey day --- Springfield to Paducah.
Already have a load of PELLETS goin' on the "bus"...
Ya never know. Enough teamwork... ??
Who else is rollin' in the midwest that weekend?
