I am sure it will.

Blt's tonight.

I left it in the fridge wrapped for about 24 hours after smoking as per Bear.

hahah, you are the lucky one. I'm sitting here looking at the fridge that's holding my bacon hostage for the the next 8 days or so. Anticipation is killing me already and patience is overrated :)

Be sure to add a second layer of bacon on that BLT for me :)

I know the wait, I just went though it. Why is it we have to wait before of after the smoke to eat. LOL ( bacon - cheese )

Taste test tonight.

Had blt's and they were great. Never thought making bacon would be this easy.

Canadian bacon is next on the list. Any help there?

And you know exactly what is in it!

Here is a Canadian bacon thread with Pop's brine similar to what you just did with your bacon.

Did you calc. the thickness of it or just brine for 12 days?

pc farmer · May 14, 2013

I injected the loin every inch and put it in Pop's brine.

Why does my bacon curl up so bad? I have to use a bacon press.

Could be the direction you sliced it???

Didn't think about that. It could be.
