Did my normal country brown cured bacon with one half of the belly and some honey cured bacon with the other half.

First the country brown.


Then the honey cured.


Here they are after being overhauled every other day for a week.




After a good rinse and hanging uncovered in the fridge over night, in the morn hanging at room temp wile the smoker comes up to temp. Honey on the right.


In the smoker. Honey on the right.


After the smoke.


After 4 hr hickory and the smoker set at 140 F the whole time smoke was rolling then bumped the cabnet temp up to 180 F to finish. Finished with an IT of 150 F.


Haven't sliced them yet I like to let things blend for around 48 hr. Will slice tonight.

Oh Yea it was a good day to smoke.

First I had to cut the smoking trail.



The temp in the shed was allot warmer than out side.



Tabby came out to see how things were going, I just took the pict of the smoked bacon and was ready when she walked in.

OU are you using your own recipe or are you using purchased cures for your bacon? I making your own would you share the recipe. I have a few more bellies in the freezer.
Bacon is the Crack Cocaine of the Food World.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

The honey (home grown) cured bacon is from the Great Sausages Recipes and Meat Curring Book by Rytek Kutas

The Country Brown cure is from Butcher Packer
