Last night the 7:00 episode of Good Eats featured curing, smoking and cooking your own bacon. It was pretty interesting to see it done. I have never tried it, but I am sure many of you have. He made a pretty cool cold smoker out of some old lockers. Anyway, here is a link to recipes from the show if anybody is interested. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ea/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9956_20097,00.html

It was an interesting show Malc. I didn't like the bicycle powered refer though. To much work for this old man. :o :D
I'll just stick it outside in the shed with a heater to keep it from freezing. Minus 20F right now in Wasilla and I think JimGuy said it hit minus 30 at his place.
It only took 5 hours to get my smokers up to temp last weekend for the pastrami. Time to stay inside and play with pizza dough or something like that. ;D
You need to try bacon. Once you make your own you'll be spoiled for sure. ;) :)
