Done, about 3 hours @ 225°F



Came out not too bad. Being my own worst critic I thought the bacon could have crisped a little more but overall was pretty pleased!  

I as much wanted to see how well low temps would hold on the Akorn as this can be challenging, hence the 2 stone effort. Held temp quite well.
 
It was my first  ...  All the ingredients were on sale, was like the stars all aligned, like the blues brothers, a mission from God ...

It's 500 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

You just can't get real crispy bacon in the smoker. I suggest a torch if you absolutely have to have crispy bacon. Otherwise you end up with crispy sausage too.
 
I think it was the first cook i did on this thing I did some beans, side ribs and ABT's and the bacon was pretty crispy then but that would have been probably 250° or a little higher and a longer duration timewise or maybe just simply dried out some as did the thin end of the ribs! Beans got a little thick too as i remember, thinned them out a little and were fine. But you're right, could've messed up sausage and likely cheese too!
 
Looked pretty good to me !!    Nice Job
