    Forming Pellicle in dehydrator?

    Aha, well there ya go. Learned something. I've got 3 more of those to play with. If the results don't change, I'm just going back to buying bacon at the store. It's actually fattier than I anticipated anyway.

    Forming Pellicle in dehydrator?

    Thanks, I'll do the fan thing next time.  This is the cut of meat that I just chucked (after 7 hours in apple smoke at about 50 deg).  It was actually wet to the point of trying to drip in one place when I took it out.

    Forming Pellicle in dehydrator?

    I want to make what is known in England as "back bacon".

    Forming Pellicle in dehydrator?

    It's an untrimmed tenderloin and will be cold smoked for bacon.  See the "X-9" smoker thread for my latest failure.  LOL Ian

    Forming Pellicle in dehydrator?

    I left this last cut of meat in the fridge for 24 hours uncovered and no pellicle formed.  Can I put the next one in my dehydrator for a couple hours to accomplish this?  If so, what temp should I set it to? thanks, Ian

    Anyone Used an X-9 smoker for bacon?

    I decided to err on the side of caution and throw it out like the last one.  Maybe the third try will turn out.  Bah.  This is pizzin me off.

    Anyone Used an X-9 smoker for bacon?

    Well.... I left it in the fridge for 24 hours uncovered but you really couldn't describe it as dry when I took it out.  This is what I got after 7 hours with apple wood and it was wet on the bottom when I took it out.

    Anyone Used an X-9 smoker for bacon?

    It's cold smoke, so not much.  Right now it's about 50F in the box. Ian

    Anyone Used an X-9 smoker for bacon?

    We'll see how it turns out.  First time actually smoking any meat.  The last attempt a couple weeks ago ended with a chunk of loin flying across the creek at the back of the yard.

    My Marinade for sliced Jerky

    It's just a little over 1/2 gallon of marinade and 2 small roasts.  I didn't weigh them. I just make sure it's covered and I mix it up a couple times while it's in there to make sure everything gets good and wet.  It turned into just over 2 lbs of jerky.
