Back Bacon

[OU812]

Got me a whole pork loin

Trimmed up

Made up my brine and cooled with a bit of ice

Cut off a couple butterfly loin steaks and got the rest for a bath in the brine

Every body in the pool

Overhaul the meat and stirr up the brine every night for a week,,,the temp is perfect

Here they are after three days

At the end of the week all rinsed off and in the net,,,,no water soak required to remove the salt  when using the brine

Hang in the fringe over night to let the flavors and salt equalize

Here we go!

After 2 hr of Hickory with the smoker set at 200 and pulled out when the it hit 140,,,Oh Ya!!

After a little bloom time, wrap in plastic and throw in the fridge for 48 hr


Time to slice,,,,,,,Kaylee likes to hang out with me

All sliced up

Ready to package,,,,,,,,seven 8 oz piles and the trimmings,,,,Im thinkin pizza for them trimmings

And done

Gooood stuff!!
