Makin Bacon
« Reply #-1 on: January 20, 2019, 04:26:54 PM »
I found some pork belly after New Years and applied a simple rub, salt, sugar, cracked black pepper and pink salt#1. I bagged it and turned it every day for over 2 weeks..then let it form a pellicle and added more black pepper..I love pepper bacon..after a few hours I put it in the smoker..under 100º about 5 hours..it was very cold that day..I added a piece of peach wood that I got from TLG a few years ago at one of the gatherings..along with some hickory chips.  Then took it out and let it cool for a few days..I sliced it up today..I gave some of it to the people that shoveled my driveway this morning..and bagged almost 4#. I fried some up and it's wonderful..might cut back a lil bit on the salt next time, but other than that..it's great. And so easy..just takes time...☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Beautiful Pam!
I've got a belly in the freezer that just may meet that fate.
I've never made bacon but have been wanting to try.

I've never made bacon but have been wanting to try.

I was hesitant at first to make my own bacon.  Besides time and space in the fridge, it's actually really easy.
