    bacon?

    Big thanks to Disco and thanks to all of you. This new smoker will open a whole new world to me. Smoke on!

    bacon?

    Guess it wasn’t O2. I lit with a lighter. Never got a good flame in tube. Lit second time with torch and smoke out of the chimney for over 45 minutes now. Lesson learned.

    bacon?

    Well, snafu. Tube burned out. Re-lit and going again. Disco thinks it was O2 issue. Keep an eye on it.

    bacon?

    5 hours. This is cool. Good smoke from the tube. Out of curiosity, I laid a probe on rack by bacon. 62 degrees and good smoke.

    Got the slab soaking in cold water. Will pat dry and stick in fridge on rack.

    boneless ribeye

    Did boil water test. Probes never varied more than 4 degrees, and always came back together. Water started rolling at 212, spot on. I need to pay more attention when I put the probe in. Small piece of meat, but I obviously wasn't near center.

    boneless ribeye

    Must not have therm in center, or maybe I need to do boil test. I loved it, med rare. Cut outside piece for the wife and seared it in skillet.

    3 lbs. Going in smoker soon. Guess I’ll stick therm probes in the ends.

    boneless ribeye

    Well, Kroger had it on sale again. Last sale was $5.99 a pound, but at $6.99 a pound I couldn't resist. Bought a 7.5 lb'er. Cut in half, and vac sealed half of it. Got the other half rubbed down in the fridge. Smoke it tomorrow afternoon. I won't be doing a bunch of crap/distracted...

    bacon?

    Yes, Disco has been tutoring me. I'll soak it in clean water Sunday morning when I get up, change the water when we leave for church. Then I'll do a cold smoke Sunday afternoon. Follow that up with a hot smoke later. Looking forward to it!

    bacon?

    Little over an inch except one small area on the end that’s about 1.5”

    bacon?

    Got the Amazn smoke tube in and apple pellets. Cured the tube on my grill. Called for 275, my smoker only goes to 250. I'm ready to smoke this bacon. Probably cut the cure short at 5 days, and smoke the bacon Sunday after church.

    Making bacon first time

    I started a thread on making bacon a few days ago. Follow it. I am curing now. Using Disco’s method from his basic bacon thread.

    bacon?

    Oh, I followed it as best I could. Hard to measure 3/5 tsp. I used a half tsp and 1/8 tsp. Has to be pretty close.

    bacon?

    I am sort of bewildered about the cure process. 3 lb slab of bacon. Cure seasoning was 7.5 TSP brown sugar, 4.5 tsp kosher salt, and a little over half tsp of curing salt-prague. Rubbed it all over, but didn't seem like much for that big slab of meat.
  20. newsmokerky

    bacon?

    Absolutely. After the cure, I'll post pics. Post pics after cold smoke, then again after hot smoke. Of course, pics after first pieces cooked. This is a whole new world to me.
