first bacon

hybridcx · March 20, 2012, 07:37:50 PM

did my first bacon and man oh man is it good, learned a few things though that Costco maple syrup is too light to brine with and that it makes a lot more bacon than it looks like once sliced up and vac packed.

the belly

trimming up

sorry no brine pics forgot to take
washed dried and ready to smoke

did 3 hours of a mix of apple and hick.

next day slicing time.

soo good gave some away and have enough to last us a while.
also did one skin on and will not so that again will remove before hand from here on out.

Looks like you did a real good job on that bacon.
You'll never like store bacon again.
