Did you hang your bacon or lay it on the racks, I would like to do bacon, just haven't really figured a good way to hang it.

I put it right on the rack...who cares what it looks like! It's what it tastes like that matters!

I have bacon hangers that I have used and I have also just laid it on the racks.  Don't know if it makes a big difference.  This weeknd I'm hanging it just because I haven't hung bacon in a while. :)

That is what I figured. Both the sirloin and chuck cuts don't need to be cooked as high as a brisket.

Sirloin tip makes a good CB but it's a bit drier than using a brisket...but I picked up another last night because they were still on sale.

I also dont have a Bradley smoker yet...I'm an illegal alien in the Bradley forum...I would like to get one soon, but for the past 2-3 years I've been playing catch up after being unemployed.
