So this is my first go at bacon and it turned out awesome ! I used pops brine. Let it soak for 14 days, put it in the fridge for 24 hours, and then at room temp with the fan on it. Smoked for 13 hours with amazen pit masters choice pellets in my 5x8 amnps. I couldn't believe how long it smoked ! It started going out after it made its way up the second path and I'm not sure why but it didn't much matter because It was in there long enough. Came out perfect in my opinion ( and the wife). I cut salt in pops brine to 1/2 cup and cut both sugars back to just under a cup each. Put a good coat of pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder on two of the slabs and some homemade pork rub on the third. I hand cut a few slices for breakfast this morning and the rest is going to sit in the fridge wrapped for a few days until it's sliced up. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way. I love this forum! Enjoy.
