    Fresh batch of BBB and CB

    I figured 1 day per half inch plus 2 days for safety.. it was more like 3 1/2 inches outer diameter... I did a dry rub using diggindogs calculator with cure #1... The cold smoke definitely gave it a lighter color but a deeper smoke flavor...

    Whats your take on making bacon like this?

    I make bacon all the time with cure and have really enjoyed it. Just came across this read the other day and wasn't for sure how it would be deemed "safe." Especially where they mention room temp storage for months....
