Title: Bacon Strips
Post by: st3v32k12 on December 23, 2015, 04:39:48 PM
I have some fantastic sliced bacon that I would like to cook on my Bradley Digital 4 rack.

My initial thought was that smoking might be overkill as it is already cured, but I could be wrong.

What are some recommendations on temp/time and possible smoke time?

in this case,,, cold smoke the bacon only,, ,do not  cook it,, this way you  will have  smoked bacon,... i would recommend apple, maple , oak for no more then 2 hours ,,, hickory for no more then an hour until you  find a ballance of  what you  like

Isn't a special attachment required for cold smoking?

yes and no... there is an attachment that makes the temp in the  box cooler,,, however ,, if you  use  only the  puck burner in cooler  temps ,,, and if needed add ice to keep the temps down,, you  will do just fine,,, most  cases cold smoking is considered  under 100 F any way,,, and if you  smoke  for  only two hours then back in the  fridge,,, you  get out of the  danger zone as quickly as possible.
