    Bacon Thickness

    Yeah I am going to do a bunch thin for this reasoning... thanks! Makes a lot of sense, my only issue is having to borrow a friends slicer... I think I'll freeze a chunk just in case though because this is good advice!

    Bacon Thickness

    Really helpful! Thanks everyone, I think I'll do half thin and half thicker... I cold smoked it so I won't be eating it out of the package like that!

    Bacon Thickness

    Great point... I use bacon in many different ways(on sandwiches, crumbled as topping, wrapped around something, mixed into something). So I was just more thinking for a multipurpose size that I could slice up all in one shot, or maybe 2 sizes that I could go half and half or something.

    Bacon Thickness

    I did a little searching and I couldn't really find specific answers... I'm curious what thickness everyone prefers to slice their bacon? I'm assuming thicker is easier to slice? I'll be slicing mine tomorrow on a friends small slicer and plan to put in freezer first to firm it up. Thanks for...

    Hello and already a question

    Smoking hot pepper chese

    I haven't done HOT pepper cheese yet but it's on my list since smoked pepperjack is one of the mrs. and my favorites.  I definitely haven't noticed that getting hotter after smoking but the smoke flavor seems to compliment the pepper very well and I didn't start with an especially hot version...

    Helicopter chicken!

    That's worth a point for sure!  Looks great. I have the weber rotisserie attachment for my grill but don't love the room and how close it is to the flame.  Seeing your build gives me all sorts of ideas, even if it were with something like an ECB!
