Thanks, Chris, Before I started making Bacon I spoke to Bearcarver and he gave me a warning I will pass along. Be warned, once you make your own bacon you will never want to buy it from a store again. It also makes going out for breakfast hard as their bacon will never compare to yours.
Good...
Hi all,
I have not posted much lately as Life got busy. But I was almost out of bacon and you have to have your priorities right so bacon was made.
I followed Bearcarvers Bacon (Extra Smokey) because you cannot go wrong with this step-by-step...
I use a dry cure and never let it sit less than 7 days (sometimes longer depending on when I can smoke). 1 day for each 1/2 inch at the thickest part then I add 3 or 4 days.
Just how I do it.

Thanks for the comments all. The brisket really did come out very well but time constraints made me pull it a bit early. I just cut it thin across the grain and it is good. the flavor was spot on (had some for breakfast today).
I have not smoked much lately (too damn cold in Mi) but I am...
It was pretty tender and juicy. I would have liked it to hit 200 but it was getting late and my wife was hungry. I aslo would have let it sit for a bit normally and did not this time. Next time I will start it the night before.
I have not done much smoking lately so I picked up an 8 lb Brisket this weekend. Got it going yesterday at 9 am and it hit 190ish at 7:30 pm. It had great flavor and looked fantastic. I use the MES 30" at 240° with nothing but S&P. The smoke was a garlic spice pellet.
It was a late dinner...
JJ, you did not come across as judgemental at all and I did not t as ke it that way. After reading your comment I realized I left out lots of details. So I added them. You are correct the freasher they are the harder they seem to be to peel.
So, sorry if I came across as snippy in my post.

Yeah, it is tough going back to store bought. They do not get as many eggs in the winter so I do not usually get any. but now they are laying again so hopefully, the eggs will keep coming.
JJ, Fresh as in he brought them in on Wednesday and I hard boiled and smoked them that night. My wife made the deviled Eggs Thursday night and we ate them Friday morning. So they were less than a week. I say Farm fresh but he does not live on a farm. Just a house with a bit of property and they...
One of the guys I work with gave me three dozen farm fresh eggs. I eat a lot of eggs but 3 dozen is a lot. So deviled eggs it is. Brought them into work this morning for the guys to snack on.
An hour and a half with apple pellets (it is what I had) using the 6" A-Maze-N tube. Perfection!
