    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    Plus it makes your fridge smell good for 5 days (after smoke)... but there are things that take on the smoke taste in the fridge that just doesn't taste right ... Lol like donuts and milk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Greetings from SW Florida

    Thanks for the warm Florida welcome. Last winter was another brutal snow. So when my company had a new owner buy in and restructure (cut employees including me) we decided it was time to make that vacation home our fulltime home. We would love to add a RV in our plans in the future (My sister...

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    I'll be smoking with no heat in outside temps in the 70s. No amazens but i have used my Masterbuilt cold smoke attachment for long smokes and it does nicely. I'll be sure to let them rest and absorb that smoke before I get all hungry and slice into them. This is all new to me. So I may let a...

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    Thanks crankybuzzard. I'll follow (despite being anxious128522). Currently the slabs are dry to the touch. I suspect they will get that tacky desired "pellicle" in the time suggested. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    Thanks dirtsailor2003. It has dried on a rack for 24 hours. It is dry to the touch but you go 5 days before smoking, uncovered? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    I unpacked and set up my Masterbuilt cold smoke attachment on my MES30 and I am ready to smoke some bacon (just as soon as the evening brings some cooler temps). What is your method (time, temp, number of sessions) to cold smoke belly bacon? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Breaking in the new smoker!

    Also my first and only attempt at pork butt was 11 hours only to find the commercial rub way too salty we all have less than stellar results especially early on. I just used that pork in chili :-) I had some serious texture issues getting my chix breasts right.

    Breaking in the new smoker!

    I'm told Soaking is necessary when you put chips on coals or on a gasser. But not in the MES. I read somewhere here that wet chip can contribute to too much creosote? I'm sure there are a few folks here that can say if that is accurate. I have also read Thick grey smoke can make the meat...

    Greetings from SW Florida

    Hi Gary. Been hot here in SWFL but we are finally seeing highs just in the mid 80s. And evenings are getting darn pleasant. It got my first attempt at curing going with some belly bacon this week and a whole belly on order. Probably toss a yard bird in the smoker for dinner tonight. That is my...

    How long to cure?

    Thanks JJ. I couldn't find the info in any of the old posts and I'm just a little cautious on my first go. 129299

    Smoking Container Question

    ps Barkeepers Friend cleans amazing for those parts that still need cleaning. A super tough cleaner yet still gentle enough for my allclad stainless. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
