Don't know what kinda slicer you have but mine is not even commercial and is at least 30 yrs. old Only metal is blade, old Sears that my mother had. To get to the point,froze bellies for 4 hrs. to begin the process. The last one, which is after 9 hrs. in freezer sliced the best and did not bog down. No info on motor. Just trying to burn it up so can have excuse to get new one
Nice lookin bacon Dave! My next investment will be a vacseal unit. It takes awhile to get it all going.

I have pretty much the same, just not as old. I'll have to cut my bellies down to fit the slicer.

Mine too. At least I have the other half's support in this, we are trying to be as self-sufficient as possible on food.
Nice Job, Dave!!------------
Bears recipe, cgbp onion and garlic powder. What an even balance of flavors. Just combined equal amounts of powders and sprinkled on. thinking of what is in rub for smoking which isn't much. Threw most of it away. Just do a tsp or so to mix. I did tbls. Cgbp is liberal.
The taste test is between wife kid and me, boy is 23 Pop's Bear's, Maple and Sausage mamers country brown sugar, it is salty. In my dedicated opinion between Pop's, a brine and Bear's a dry rub is tied, because how can you pic one over the other in comparison. Spelt that last word right, no squiggly lines below it. Gonna experiment on doing some hot as I said. Do tq and up the brown sugar and sprinkle either red pepper powder or habenaro on 1 6 pounder. Doing nuther on Bear's and nuther with more maple sugar. Wheweee. Five hrs. slicing and packaging. Enjoyed every minute, hr.
Bought mine with gift card, cheapest one Foodsaver makes. Three yrs. and still goin on.
Know whatcha mean. Get a a quarterly check and this one partly goes to bellies, whole case and have a few byers, hopefully to by more?
