Just pulled some bacon out of the smoker this weekend. I did the BBB cure then the maple rub like MW tried. I'll try it in a few days after it mellows a bit. I'll keep you all posted. Pics are clickable but backwards. The aroma was sinfull and I almost broke down and tried it right away. :D ;D
Well here it is guys. The finished bacon. It was very good. I think I'm going to try to get more maple flavor nextime though.
MW, got any ideas for me?

Rubbed with the cure then vac sealed (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/olepop/th_Baconsealedincure.jpg) (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/olepop/Baconsealedincure.jpg)
does look great! When you do your update a pic of inside would be a good benchmark for me. Thanks
Looks real good. I may have to put this on my list of things to do.
That's a pretty good idea to vacum seal your product. I'll have to try that next time
Looking good ice! ;)
Those pics make me HOT!
