    Maken Bacon - But what happened to Iowa?

    I needed to make a new batch of bacon, so off to the butcher for pork bellies. I make about 30 pounds at a time. This is the amount my smoker can easily handle. I got the pork belly home and started the prep work. Here is how the belly was wrapped.

    I think pork loin or pork tenderloin are to lean to make pulled pork. I would buy some pork shoulder for the pulled pork. You could smoke the loins along with the shoulder and mix them together for pulled pork. Be sure to remove the loins from the smoker before the shoulder. The loins will...

    New to smoking. Have a couple questions and looking for advice.

    All good advice. Another thing to think about - not all wood chips are created equal. Some are mild and some are strong. You need to match the correct wood with the meat your are smoking. I have attached a chart I use.

    How do you keep your glass door clean?

    And the problem is - Glass doors are just for looks. I smoke a lot and never clean the inside of the door. It's to much work and I don't like cleaners inside my smoker. I'm not sure why they make them. But that's just one old smokers opinion.

    Looks interesting. Reply to this post so we know how it works out. How hard will it be to slice through the meat? Do you need to be a weight lifter?

    Canadian bacon-cure question

    If you are using a pork loin for your Canadian bacon, one suggestion when cooking it, cook it hot and fast. About 45 seconds on a side. Pork loin is so lean it will be dry if you cook it to long. When I smoke Canadian bacon I get the IT to about 155. At 155 the meat is done, cooking is only...

    Best smoked bacon rexipe

    If you are just starting out curing and smoking bacon, I would use the easy method in the Morton Home Meat Curing Guide. It can be bought on line for a few dollars. I would also use Morton Tender Quick dry curing mix. No mixing, just 1 Tablespoon of mix per pound of pork belly. After curing, be...

I have tried to make it following at least 10 different online recipes, but it is never the same texture or flavor as the BBQ pork in Chinese restaurants. This time I'm going to cure the meat with Tender...
