    Making bacon

    Hybrid works! I do ours like that often. I use our cold smoker, because I like that smoke flavoring better than hot only. And then, since we like the texture of the cooked to 150, I put it in the hot smoker. I could just use the oven, but the hot smoker is right there, so...

    We did use a vertical stuffer, but probably not packed tightly enough. I ground all of the meat the coarse die and then through the fine. Hey, if it's possible to mess it up, I can do it! Good thing is that with the sous vide, you can keep the temp low, but leave it in long enough to pasteurize...

    Maple Sugar Bacon

    After I made bacon for the first time, we have trouble going back to commercial, even if it's from the butcher's from our own pigs. I love using maple sugar. Yours looks delicious.

    Jerky gun

    I just made ground venison/bacon jerky with my gun yesterday for the first time. I wasn't counting on us liking it, but we sure do! Kudos on the creativity! I'm going to show my husband. After several pounds, it makes ones hand/arm a bit tired.
