Bacon Time... Again!
« Reply #-1 on: June 22, 2014, 06:58:09 PM »
We've been out of bacon for a couple months  ???, but I've also been super, super busy with computer repairs, band stuff, forum stuff, etc.

I couldn't stand it anymore though, so...

Here's 23 Lbs of my Cider Mill bacon on the MAK, getting some applewood smoke (about 4 hours of cold smoke, then hot-smoked to 150°).



Done and ready for the fridge for 2 - 3 days before slicing.



Homemade bacon always smells so good. It was all I could do to keep myself from slicing into it right away, but the 2 - 3 day wait is worth it, to let the smoke permeate all the way through.

Sliced pics in a few days, so hang tight!  ;)

BACON!!!!!!!

WOO HOO!!!

Art

It's too early to make the bacon for the Fall Gathering.  This will be good "practice" for you in the mean time.  You ARE bringing your bacon to the Fall Gathering, right?

You're right, Art; it's too early to make bacon for the Fall gathering.  As per usual, only half of this is for me anyway (half always goes to the H.S. band director - we split the cost), so my half will be long gone before the Fall Gathering rolls around.

And yes, you bet I'm planning to bring some to the Fall Gathering, along with sausage and a new homemade biscuit mix I've been working on (in my secret mad-scientist spare time).
