    First Bacon Done - I think

    Thanks.  Yea, there are actually small holes in the bottom that I put a steel over.  When they were uncovered, I only got 6 hours and flat ups.  I think a little adjustment will help me. Thanks again ps  I do like your leg idea.

    First Bacon Done - I think

    Thanks for reply.  I wish we had 5 full days to let sit.  Work, gets in the way of fun.  Anyway, it will have about 3 1/2 days in fridge before wrapping.  Thanks again.

    First Bacon Done - I think

    OK, no pix, but I have a question.  I've read NUMEROUS threads on bacon that has been cold smoked.  All of the pix show a golden, to darker, outer color on the bacon.  I assume there had to have been heat added to the process? So, I just smoked cured bellies for 12 hours with my AMNPS with the...

    Brined/Cured/Smoked Belly Rest Times?

    So, has anyone left the bellies in the cure for 31/2-4 weeks?  I really don't want to freeze right now.

    Brined/Cured/Smoked Belly Rest Times?

    OK, so I have these bellies that have been sitting in a brine/cure for 2 weeks.  I want to cold smoke them in the next few days.  The problem I have is a 9 day business trip coming up.  Can I let the bacon sit in the fridge for that long, after smoking, without any problems? Thanks

    AMNPS - burn/smoke times?

    I agree.  I was having flaming problems, so cutting down O2 stopped that.  Guess that fine line needs to be found on a particular system.

    AMNPS - burn/smoke times?

    I think it all depends on on your set up.  I know I've heard a 9-11 hour burn, so when I got a 6 hour burn, something seemed off to me. So, I fixed the amount of air coming in.  Seems to give me what others have experienced.   I don't know what is correct, but satisfied with a longer burn.

    AMNPS - burn/smoke times?

    Just an update.  I closed off the holes in the bottom of the mailbox, and a 2 hour burn used about 2/3 of a row of hickory pellets.  I obviously had too much air on my first run.
