    Low Sodium Bacon

    I've found the 1% works good for my preference, any lower would be bland and any higher tastes like a salt lick. I'm just gathering info because moderators on another forum are telling people the lowest limit you can safely go is 1.5% salt and I'm trying to shut that stupidity down...

    Low Sodium Bacon

    Hello from fairbanks AK

    My brother lives in Chugiak and had a box similar to yours, used a rubber propane hose to the burner and eventually the oil from the salmon broke down the hose and he lost his smoke box and at least 20lbs of salmon, he rebuilt and has a stainless gas line to the burner now, just heads up :-)

    Just tossed on some spares.

    Looking good!!! Something to try next time is save the dripping, chill and skim fat off the top and use the drippings in next batch of beans, I do it all the time when I smoke a pork butt and make some black beans, don't add any salt  to the beans until you've tasted them after adding the...
