    Trying bacon for first time?

    Thanks, sorry I should have been more specific. I did that recipe twice. For two pieces of meat so it was for 4.2 lbs I used 1 tsp of cure. Hopefully that make sense, and will be cured long enough. I had them in separate bags. My chamber sealer wouldn't fit the whole belly so I split them.

    new to smoking trying a brisket

    Thanks all.  How long do you think it would last in cooler?  I plan on smoking one over night and taking to the fire house for lunch.  thinking about putting one in about 8:30 pm taking out around 6:45 and wrapping and putting in cooler.  eating lunch around 11:45 or so. will it still be hot?
