    price of belly

    Yesterday I bought 45 pounds of belly for $3.29/lb.  Turns out to be 5 pork sides in vac-bags.  I bought them directly from the meat processor, here in twin Falls, Idaho.

    After letting the bacon slabs rest under wraps for a few days, I put it through the slicer today.  I put the pieces in the freezer for 30 minutes to make them slice easier. I fried up a few slices of the Salt flavor.  That one was made with just TenderQuick and nothing else.  It was very good. ...

    4 Bacon Flavors

    Thank you Dave, for your generous offer.  I think I'll somehow choke down this bacon here. Those el-cheapo bacon hooks from Menards worked great.  I bought them online: http://www.menards.com/main/search.html?search=Chrome+Utensil+Rack&sf_categoryHierarchy= $2.49 each was such a deal, I...

    4 Bacon Flavors

    I left the bacon hanging in the smoker last night to cool down.  Here are the pics from this morning: I cut off a bit of each and fried them up to taste-test.  Then I wrapped each slab in plastic cling wrap and put in the bottom of the refrigerator to meld and mellow the flavors for a...

    4 Bacon Flavors

    This morning about 5am opened up the smoker and took its temp.  It was a chilly 38F inside the box, so I left the door open for a few hours to cool it down a few more degrees. I took the four vac-bags out of the bottom of the refrigerator, opened them up and washed them off well with cold...
