    4 Bacon Flavors

    My buddy brought over some parts of the hog he had butchered, four shoulder roasts and two bellies.  I hung the shoulders in the smoker at 0-dark-30 this morning, after rubbing them with black pepper and garlic salt . . . . A few hours later I started in on the bellies with these spice...

    Making Bacon with no sugar or any other sweetener

    I like more salt than most people, so I have to be careful not to over-salt, so others can enjoy. Who can describe 2% saltyness?

    Making Bacon with no sugar or any other sweetener

    Is 2% salt the ideal? or is it a general preference for Joe Average?

    Cold Smoke vs Hot Smoke for Bacon

    No, I haven't done any research on this.  It just seems to make sense to me from a physics and physiological viewpoint. I am getting the sides from a hog next week from a friend and will be makin' bacon, so I was looking for some more advice.

    Making Bacon with no sugar or any other sweetener

    Are there any recipes on here for smoking bacon that does not use any sugar or sweetener? The last batch I made used sugar and it was really easy to burn the bacon in the frying pan.

    Cold Smoke vs Hot Smoke for Bacon

    I think bacon should be smoked at just below the body temperature of the animal the meat comes from.  The reasoning behind this theory is that at body temp, the fat is liquid, or gel, instead of hard and waxy.  Smoking at that temp allows the smoke to penetrate the fat and meat better.

    Montreal Steak Seasoning ??

    Thank you for everyone's insight and comments.  I'm thinking about buying a full box of bellies, 50 to 60 pounds, and giving the Montreal a try on about half of the batch of bacon.  Its a flavor I really enjoy on BBQ pork ribs, rotisserie prime rib of beef and grilled rib-eye. I might also try...

    Montreal Steak Seasoning ??

    Has anyone made bacon using Montreal Steak Seasoning as the primary flavor ingredient in the cure? I made bacon with brown sugar in the cure and it burns when you fry it.  Next time, no sugar.

    This Week's Project:::: Now Bacon!

    Lathrop - - I just mixed up some spices, I didn't really follow any recipe.  You can google for recipes, maybe it will motivate you to buy a pig's head and give it a try.  It really wasn't that hard to do.
