This was my first fattie. Used onions, green peppers, mushrooms, brocolli, ham and cheese. Smoked for 3 hours at 230-240. Was delicious but the bacon had an acidy taste. Is this normal of bacon?
I was thinking along the same line, the acidity taste being creosote on the bacon
Well first off your fattie's look great and I would really like to have some. But then you say that it has a acidity taste the flags went to flapping. First what kind of wood did you use?? Was it Hickory or another of the stronger flavors of wood.Next question is when you had smoke did you have big white billowing thick smoke.That could also give you a sour almost taste to the meat. But next time try an apple wood or another fruit wood and see what you think.
Was it an acidic or bitter, did it leave your tongue tingly?This was my first fattie. Used onions, green peppers, mushrooms, brocolli, ham and cheese. Smoked for 3 hours at 230-240. Was delicious but the bacon had an acidy taste. Is this normal of bacon?
