    Thanks for the tip al. Cold smoke it is. Gonna be a late night for me. Especially since I've never smoked anything that cold before.

    First time doing bacon

    I've seen a few posts about that. I can see how much more liquid is coming out even with the fans on them. My big problem is I have to go to work and will be gone for 2 weeks. Wish I would have seen them 4 days ago. You think it would be better to smoke them warmer since I can't dry them out...

    First time doing bacon

    Ok another question for everybody. How much does the flavor change after drying them overnight and smoking them? I tried a few pieces and honestly it's good but I'm not too impressed.
