I would like to thank everyone that helped me make smoking my own bacon such a success. As I have read so many times before my family also said that the bacon is better than any they have ever tasted. The recipe used was Maple Cured Bacon. The temperature was +/- freezing and the time exhausted when the last slab of 10 slabs came out of the smoker was 12 hours.
Let me introduce you to the star of the show.

Is it bacon or is it jewelry?

REALLY nice job on that bacon JJ!
Thank you everyone for your compliments. It was an opportunity to learn how to smoke bacon, upload pictures, and post pics to this forum. It has been a fun ride!!
To put the cherry on top (or bust it per sey) I lost my newbie status in the process and have graduated to a Jr. Member. That also feels good.
All fired up,
