After reading this post this morning and thinking about it all day long, I have a question. How long will the bacon keep for in the fridge after smoking?
Can you slice it up and freeze it as well?

It looks absolutely delicious, I want to cook that for breakfast a few days a week.

I wouldn't go more than 2 weeks in the fridge, and Yes you can freeze it just like store bought. I vac seal mine on a coated paper plate, then into the freezer

As soon as I get back from this weekends trip up north I am going to get two more of the bacon and two more of the Canadian Bacon in the cure.

Yep got corporate approval all wrapped up.

When finish slicing mine I always fry up the ends and pieces. My yardapes hardly wait for it to come out of the frying pan before they is snaking pieces like little vultures. I might get one piece If I'm lucky and hide it good. You do any better with yours?
