Funny you should post this, I was just thinking of trying something similar to see how it would come out. I am very curious for some finished product pics.

Can't wait to see the results Nepas. This sounds very good.

Well after 13 hours the bacon jerky is done. It smells freakin awsome ;D

I am going to do this again but different. Next time i will Reveo the bacon in a wet marinade, add 40 mins of smoke instead of 20, bump the heat up higher in the smoker from 125* to 150* and in the dehydrator from 85* to 110* The texture is nice, bendable and not over smoked. Now into the paper bag ;D

I cant beleive there is a web site selling 2oz of bacon jerky for $12. What a rip off. I would much rather sell more jerky in the bags for cheaper and have happy customers ;D

I didnt add any cure because it was cured already.

Finished. Kiki is going crazy smelling it :D

I think Kiki and I would have a chewing contest to see who's ankles are gone first getting at this stuff!! I might have a chance because I'm bigger but guessing I am also slower! ;D

Nice looking jerky there NePas.
You list for items not yet smoked or dehydrated must be getting very short by now. LOL

That's got me thinking, what would be the results of just seasoning and into the Cabella? Too much fat to render? Interesting idea Nepa, let us know how it goes.

This is a must for me. :)
