    How much gets absorbed when curing!?!

    Thanks bear! I was kind of wondering about sodium content for high blood pressure more than taste. I love salt taste. Hahaha

    How much gets absorbed when curing!?!

    So I just finished my first BBB and it turned out awesome. I'm hooked. I love it!! So I have eaten bacon 3 mornings in a row now (I was excited about my bacon cut me some slack) and it got me thinking... This can't be good for me. I knew that from the get go but how BAD is it for me? I don't...

    First time with "BBB" or anything for that matter...

    So... It tastes pretty great!!! I wouldn't say it's the same texture as bacon, it's between a ham and a bacon. It fries up nice though and for my first try I'm very happy. Thanks for all your help guys! This started as a $10 project and became expensive quick when I busted my slicer.

    First time with "BBB" or anything for that matter...

    Alright, so I did it. I ended up only smoking it on Saturday from 10:30 to 5:30 and it hit the IT much faster than I anticipated. So next time I'm going to be a lot more careful of how I go about my temperature increases. It was - 15C all day and it performed much better than I had though it...

    Haha, isn't that the truth. I still couldn't wait, everyone was awake at 9 and I got it all in there at 10:30. If I hit say.. 130 IT but plan of frying the slices before eating all the time am I going to be ok? Or if I don't have the color I want could I smoke it again or should I just keep it...

    So I figured I would just have to go on the shed and fire up the smoker this morning. Stupid me didn't think about the foot if ice built up around the door. So I woke up at 5 am went outside to grab the smoker and couldn't do it. I didn't want to wake everyone up so I don't have time today now...

    So it should be relatively light smoke if my vent is wide open, I think I'll hit it for 6-8 hours of light smoke and try to hit that IT. It's going to be warmer tomorrow but still -20 so I'm hoping it'll get there. Lol

    I was thinking about using this one but with my BOS and hickory pucks: 6:30 AM-------------------------Pre-Heat Smoker to 150°. 7:00 AM-------------------------Put loaded grill on second position, with top exhaust vent open fully, without smoke, to finish forming pellicle. 7:30 AM————————-Load...

    Thanks guys, I am following bear carvers recipe as close as I can. The one thing I can't really find out is how long it gets hit with smoke. Looks like it's in there for about 10 hours but how long should the smoke be on?
