    issues with the a-maze but only with hickory

    Thanks for all the help. I will probably get the material and try the mailbox mod. After about 30hrs at 100f.. probably 12-14 hrs of smoke I ended up with some nice looking bacon. Going to let rest till Sunday

    Canadian Bacon (Step by Step—2015)

    If you pull it at 145 it is safe to eat. Remember it will go up a few degrees after taking it out of the smoker. I pull mine just under 140 but I fry mine up just a bit. Good luck Sbishop
