    Thanks JC! We liked it a lot. When cooking store bacon we always doctor it with PGO because - well it’s how my dad always prepared bacon. So it felt right to start with those spices. But hubby wanted a plain one too just for a comparison. Will definitely be making more in the future.

    Well all we can say is Thank You!!! We asked for your input on our bacon research and you answered quickly. Hubby and I decided to try Bear's Smokey Bacon recipe using TQ for the cure for our first attempt at bacon. Our pork belly was 12 pounds that we cut into two 6 pound sections. We cured...

    Researching pork belly to bacon

    Researching pork belly to bacon

    Thanks for all the helpful tips. We’ve noticed that many on here mentioned the AMNPS. So before investing another question? When you cold smoke with this am I understanding correctly that the outside air temperature needs to be cooler as well? Not like our recent PA temps of upper 80 degrees...

    Researching pork belly to bacon

    i have spent the past couple hours researching the forum about bacon.... hoping to prevent any costly mistakes with our first try. We have a Smoke Hallow 38202G Vertical. We purchased a nice pork belly (12 pound) at Costco we would like to turn into a simple bacon. Maybe a salt pepper garlic...

    Thought we should introduce ourselves ... Hubby and I have been lurking since we got our first Smoke Hallow propane upright smoker this spring. Followed the advice of several posters and got a digital temp pro also to better monitor IT and ET at the same time. So with that THANK YINZ ALL for the...
