7 hours of smoke into the fridge to rest. May do another run of smoke. I will do a sample fry tonight!

That looks awesome. I have some lion defrosting now to try CB for the first time next weekend, hope mine looks remotely that nice.

I've never had any "lion" bacon before ??? ( Sorry , I just couldn't resist !!) The pork bacon does look great though .
I had a thought while on my way to work. I may do another run of cold smoke, then take a few of the chunks to 145* just for a side by side comparison. I have only hot smoked CB once and that was the batch I fell asleep on and hit 165* before pulling it!

Oh man, you are missing out!! So much better than that loin crap you normally get. Secret recipe for now, maybe someday I'll post it....
That's what happens when I don't have enough coffee and start posting, nice catch
Lion, now that I'd like to see!!!That looks awesome. I have some lion defrosting now to try CB for the first time next weekend, hope mine looks remotely that nice.
Are you planning on curing the loin?? If not then it won't be bacon, it will just be smoke loin (which is really good too).
So if you want bacon you will need to cure first which can take 7-14 days.
I used to dry rub my bacon, but have switched to Pops Brine. The main reason I switched is that my digital scale broke and I couldn't weigh out the proper amounts of cure and spices per weight of meat. Need to get that replaced!
Lion bacon? Oh I am in for this! I even have access to a lion
Bacon looks like it's coming along fine Case

I'll do 8 - 12 hours then put it in the fridge overnight then go for another 8 - 12 hours if I want a lot of smoke flavor. After that I let it in the fridge to rest for a couple days before I slice it up & vac seal it.

Well after stewing on it all day, I decided to keep it all cold smoke for this batch. I really prefer it that way and since I'm in charge and it isn't going out as gifts, cold smoke it is! Loaded the AMNTS with apple and were rolling TBS!!!
Fired up the mini for a dinner smoke too, watch out for that one soon!!

Then you'd be diving into the freezer!!
Another surprise
