Cool! ---How do like the ET-732?

You inspired me too... I have a pork loin in the fridge...
Gonna trim/cure this weekend.

The ET-732 is all it's cracked up to be. Thanks to Bryan for giving us the discount. HUGE bargain!
So Hal, if you're going to cure a loin this weekend that makes the Bacon Channel a TRIPLE feature his weekend. I assume that both you and your team member will post pics of your curing efforts, right? :D :D Hal, you're gonna love that CB!

Looking forward to trying CB!

Wuz busy today slicing up a "boulder" with my new toy...
(and cooked two butts, and had to open multiple Christmas presents that showed up on the porch!)

Gotta get me that new MAV!
On my "list"!

Right now I have the MAK monitoring the pit temp and one belly section IT. I have the ET-732 monitoring the pit temp and the other belly section IT and going to check the IT of the bellies with the Thermopen just to see how it all compares.

OMG! I am just as big a geek as STC and you Hal! :D

GOOD MORNING, MR. CUNNINGHAM!!!!

Good Night Mr. Cunningham!

So both of you guys are going for the CB this weekend. Great!

Can't wait to see this extravaganza.

The three bacon banditos!

KyNola · December 10, 2010, 10:35:11 PM

And it's done!
First, the ET-732 came without the pit probe clip that attaches to the grate. Email to Maverick and the clip is on the way but bacon won't wait. Retired elementary school teacher wife to the rescue!

Belly sections in the MAK. Hickory smoke, 200 degrees in the MAK, 40 degrees air temp, no wind.

Finished and in the house resting before wrappng in plastic wrap and into the frig for a 24 hour nap before slicing.

Man, does the house smell good!

OMG, those are righteous! They look perfect.

hal4uk · December 10, 2010, 11:28:47 PM

Heck Yeah!!!!!!

HOLD THAT SMELL!
(I'll be by to visit in 14 days!)

KyNola · December 10, 2010, 11:36:02 PM

Thanks BLSH. They're not perfect but they aren't going to suck I don't think. Wrapped them in plastic wrap and tucked away in the frig for a nap.

Looking forward to seeing you Hal.

Going to have to figure out which direction to slice these. :)

When it's eating time, I don't think it will much matter.
