    first bacon attempt

    The bacon turned out awesome. The kids have already nuked about 2-3 pounds of it. I think I will only use Apple wood next time.

    first bacon attempt

    As a result of my lurking, I chose to do a dry cure. It is a pain to weigh everything but I enjoyed it. I did two percent weight of the meat for my salt and sugar measurements and then the proper amount of instacure #1. I did an 8 day cure and smoked em today with hickory and apple.

    Wow! Small world! Yeah I am very familiar with White Oak. Played several football games against the Roughnecks way back when. Man I love that part of Texas. I try to go back at least once a year to fish Lake o the Pines with my Dad who still lives in East Mountain.

    About 20 miles from Tyler. Teeny little speed trap called East Mountain. I went to high school in Gladewater. I think East Mountain has around 500 people in it.

    I've spent a fair amount of time searching/lurking these forums for bacon cures and brine recipes. Lots of great info and helpful people. I'm originally from East Texas. I moved to Utah about 10 years ago. I fish as much as possible and chase turkeys. Glad I finally joined.
