    I don't always make bacon...

    But when I do, I make 30 pounds of bacon!

    Pork belly help

    Can't you guys in Florida get pigs for free?  I heard they are running around everywhere down there!  You should also check into the locality of any meat packers.  I get mine from a local processing plant that sells them for around 2 bucks a pound (skin off).  I wasn't aware of their existence...

    Bacon tastes right but not getting any color after 15 hrs of smoking... What's up?

    Thanks Martin!  I was worried I had screwed it up.  I did notice a lot of condensation earlier today.  This is the first time I have done wet cured bacon so I assumed it was coming out of the bellies.  Didn't think about the condensation.  I had more in the smoker than I generally do and I...

    Bacon tastes right but not getting any color after 15 hrs of smoking... What's up?

    I cured some pork bellies with Pop's brine.  Took them out yesterday and put them in the fridge overnight to dry.  Took them out this morning and put them in front of a fan for about an hour just to make sure the pellicle formed well.  They were tacky and shiny so I figured I was good to go.  I...

    MES'd up. Did I ruin my smoker?

    I am also in a second floor apartment.  My neighbors hate it when I am smoking.  Not because they don't like the smell, but because they LOVE the smell!!  I keep them happy with some samples as well!  I have even had the maintenance manager tell me he was going to steal my MES so he can use it! ...

    New MES 40...I'm finally in the Club!

    Congrats on your new acquisition!  You will love it.  That, the AMNPS and a Maverick dual probe thermometer and you have the perfect setup IMHO.  But, I'm sorry, I believe you mistyped.  It's "Go Cards!"  Not "Go Nats"!! Bigfish

    a-maze-n-smoke problem

    Cherry is a problem.  I had the same issue when I started using the AMNPS.  I love cherry and wanted to get that pure cherry flavor, but cherry doesn't smolder well.  Like Dave said, you need to put another type of pellet in with it to get it to keep burning.  I believe Todd recommends that you...

    My new toy! Just in time for the bacon I am smoking this weekend!

    I will definitely do a review once I get some use out of it.  As I said, I have about 30 pounds of bacon (in your brine pops) that I will be smoking this weekend so it will definately see some use soon! Bigfish
