That looks really good.  Nice job!  I can almost taste it.

The bacon turned out really well. The flavor is a little strong from a smoke stand point. I think next time I'll use Hickory and maple instead of Mesquite or just maple or apple something a little lighter in flavor. I think this bacon wold be great for baked beans or wrapped around a Fillet steak. The cure was great, nice amount of salt.

Beautiful looking bacon!  Mesquite is a strong wood.(for bacon or pork products)  My preference is Hickory, apple maple.

Looks awesome. When I did my bacon I used 3 hours of Maple and found it to light on the smoke flavor but I like lots of smoke flavor. You might find it will mellow over time just like cheese does.

Wow, you've tipped me right over the edge.  I'll be makin' bacon soon.  That's an ambitious project for the first time.  Looks great!

The bacon looks great!  My personal choice of wood is hickory, apple, maple.  The hickory is good in general and for savory bacon.  I like the apple or maple for sweeter bacon.

Thanks, I like the Strong smoke flavor but the better half likes it a little more mild so I'll keep this batch for me and make another one soon using the same recipe just use maple or apple or even hickory. Thanks for all the input.
