    Too much pepper?

    I've not been able to get any pepper flavor in my bacon. This last batch for my rub I had 6g cure 33g salt 17g sugar 63g pepper. I really didn't mean to add that much but it just dumped out. Lol Think this will be overpowering?

    Maple syrup?

    Kinda late to the party but I've used high quality maple syrup and maple extract in my bacon. I personally think the extract adds more flavor. The syrup batch seemed to burn the edges when fried.

    1st time doing dry cure bacon.

    After making several batches of bacon with wet cure, I decided to dry cure a batch. I'll definitely do it more often. Wouldn't have been possible without the knowledge I've picked up from this site.

    The BBQ Gun Thread

    I bought the jig and tooling from 80% lowers as a kit. It's really easy to do. I've done 5 so far. Shoots pretty decent.

    28lbs of goodness AKA Bacon

    I made a 28lb batch of bacon. Normally I take it to work and share but I had some folks ask to buy some. No way you could charge enough to pay for your time and effort but it's nice to know people enjoy your work.
