    Pork Belly Bacon (with Q-View)

    Big, thank you and you're right! We had the usual overabundance of food at the house for the Super Bowl yesterday and I had to also fry up a bunch of homemade bacon to satisfy those in attendance that wanted to try it. At the end of the evening, I had zip-locs ready for my parents and my...

    Thermapen

    I finally picked one up and I'm glad I did so before the refurbished sale went away. It's always nice to be able to save a few bucks!

    Water PAN Yes Or No?

    So far, I've used the water pan in every smoking project I've done, except for jerky, because of the fact that with jerky, you're trying to draw moisture out. In my opinion, the use of the water pan really helps to keep the target temperature in the MES steady and helps the temperature to...

    What meat slicerwould you recomend

    Take a look at the Chef's Choice Edgecraft 609e. I picked one up online for $71.99 (delivered) and I love it! http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/products/category/electrical-slicers

    Pork Belly Bacon (with Q-View)

    xj, it's cool. I appreciate your suggestion about flipping. I'm definitely soaking the next time I do bacon, as well. Best of luck with the slicing! You should be okay after the meat firms up.   capn, thank you!

    New MES40

    I think the real question is, what are you going to smoker AFTER it's seasoned?

    Pork Belly Bacon (with Q-View)

    Al, as always, thank you!   xj, I ran out of large zip-loc bags and I resorted to using plastic shopping bags, instead. If I flipped them in these plastic shopping bags, the liquid would have just spilled out. It was easy enough to just undo the knot I put in the top, stick my hand in and...

    Pork Belly Bacon (with Q-View)

    desert, thank you! I had read about the soldering iron and have one, but I figured I'd use briquets in the chip tray to get things going, instead. After going through this project, though, I can tell you that an AMNPS is definitely on my short list of things to get. Again, thank you for the kind...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    I'm assuming the MES 30 is the model without the temperature probe, so you'll need to get one. Also, don't get wood "chunks". The MES uses wood "chips", instead. The cover is optional, but if you're going to have it outdoors, you should get one, in my opinion. I couldn't tell you anything about...

    Pork Belly Bacon (with Q-View)

    Ozark, thank you!   Mossy, thank you!   rock, thank you and, yes, they taste great!   Scrappy, thank you and enjoy your sandwiches!   Scar, thank you!   Piney, smoking at 100 degrees in the MES is a chore without an apparatus like an AMNPS. Also, I did a lot of reading and while some folks...

    Pork Belly Bacon (with Q-View)

    After seeing all of the wonderful bacon projects on the forum lately, I decided to attempt a bacon project, as well. Once completed, and after tasting the fruits of my labor, I'm so glad that I did! A few weeks ago, I mentioned to my father and uncle what I was planning on doing and, to my...
