So, the smoke is done. Struggled with my dads MES to get any smoke production at 165, but did end up squealing out smoke and I’m happy with the color. Tried a few slices got off the smoker and it seems mostly like ham, and I’ll definitely be backing the salt down next time. We’ll see how it...
The only thing I would suggest is to wrap it tight in foil, bunching up the meat, like a burrito shape. Do this prior to the sear, rest it in the foil for ~15-20 mins, then sear. You’ll end up with much more uniform medallion like cuts rather than flat thin slices.

Hey Guys,
I’ve been reading around this forum for a while and have been inspired by all of your amazing posts and information to embark on a bacon adventure. Also helped that my local Kroger had butts on sale at 0.97/lb! Been smoking and cooking for quite some time, but am just beginning curing...
