Breakfast

[ratherbboating]

I start maple flavor bacon last Friday.




After a week in the fridge and a trip out to the smoker (started at 140 for an hour, then 150 and started smoke, up 10 degrees every hour untill 190 and an IT of 160)

I will note here that the bacon was a golden brown color and this photo does not do it credit for looking good.  I put into the fridge to rest over night before trying to slice.

Sliced:


But I did take a couple of slices out for breakfast this morning.

I followed 10.5s recipe again.  Thanks 10.5.

Other notes and comments:
I did make the hots dogs that Kevin A posted.  You can see the supplies in the background of the first picture.  I made 5 lbs.:

  I did half the water bath to bring to IT and half outside in the smoker (with just a little smoke).  The ones outside where a LOT better.

And in one of my other posts we talked about baggies for making bacon.  I found some large Ziploc bags and like them better.  They stayed sealed the entire time.
