    First Canadian Bacon Effort

    After a one week honey cure I apple wood smoked my first Canadian bacon pork loin.  I've never liked pork loin as most of the meat is the dryer light colored meat.  That said, I have changed my opinion of the loin.  I had meant to smoke it for a bit in the smoker and then finish it off in the...

    Grease tray to protect electric heating element

    Just purchased a Smoke Hollow electric smoker and after seasoning it cooked our first meal on the thing.  For the maiden event I choose two chickens and potatoes with hickory chips.  To my question: Can/should I use a grease tray?  I did not like the grease falling to the heating element.  The...

    Makin' Bacon

    Anybody out there ever make their own bacon?  I was in the butcher shop the other day when a guy came in and picked up 20 pounds of pork belly.  Now that I've just purchased a smoker, I'd like to try it. Thanks! Chuck
