Just picked up a case of bellies (7 of em in the box) for $1.77 lb at a wholesale meat company. Wish I would have thought that one through a little better. 65 lbs of pork belly is an awful lot. I'm making a smoker for that much bacon with a wardrobe carton from the local moving company and my...
WHOA!!!!! Tossed 4 peeled hard boiled eggs on during a cold smoke I had going for some bacon, using my new AMNPS, let 'em smoke for an hour and a half then deviled them. EXCELLENT!!! Sorry, they didn't last long enough to get any qview!! Can't wait for the next get-together to spring these gems...

I have just taken my bacon out of the cure and rinsed it. I cured it with the skin on, but want to remove it before setting to form pellicle and smoking. Any problem with this process?
I've spent countless hours perusing innumerable wesites, devouring information with the same voracious appetite that I plan on attacking my bacon with. But NOWHERE did I read that the wait during the cure would be so excruciating. In a world of instant gratification, a week is a lifetime...
