Well here we go. The smoke went well, smoke time ended up being 11 hours with hickory. I threw some cheese in about half way so the cheese was in there for just about 5 hrs. I pulled the bacon and cheese out and wrapped them up and stuck them in the fridge over night. Stopped off at the store on my way home from work to grab some rolls of vacuum bags. Got home, sliced the bacon up and vacuum sealed it in 10-15 piece portions, just enough for my wife and I to have some at breakfast (oh ya, the dog usually gets a couple tastes as well). I also vacuum sealed the cheese. Stuck the bacon and some of the cheese in the freezer. Here is your Qview!
Here is the bacon in the smoker
Here is the cheese going in the smoker
Here is the bacon done (sorry, i didnt get a full slab pic of the pepper bacon, i was rushing and trying to get everything sliced before my wife left so i had a helping hand)
Here is the cheese finished.
Bacon all sliced up, the pepper bacon is the plate in the back.
Bacon all packaged up, about 15 packs all together.
Here is to another good smoke. Im thinking the next time i fire up the smoker its going to be for some bacon wrapped rabbit and pulled pork! Cant wait! Rabbit season starts here in a month!
