    Cold Smoking bacon, some turning grey?

    They were in five gallon buckets, laid on top of each other, filled and then shaking each day. Most of the ones with color were on one side of the smoker and when I wiped it with a paper towel it did have a brownish, almost dirty color on the towel.

    Cold Smoking bacon, some turning grey?

    The black spots are from the rack above it and yes there some moisture which must have dripped from the ceiling. Maybe I should take a knife and trim it off before slicing and packaging?

    Cold Smoking bacon, some turning grey?

    I do add pepper on these so while there is some black pieces on these it happened when I slammed the rack in when it got stuck.

    Fathers day BBQ

    I would keep it wrapped up and bump the temp to 250. The key is going to be is keeping that door closed. I know you are going to want to check the temp but I would wait two hours before hand. That big bone is not helping the temp but it will help the flavor so keep at it and good luck!

    Pork pricing?

    I paid $1.84 a pound on a case at Sam's Club here in La Crosse. That was actually down from $2.04 two weeks prior, the twin packs not in a case were $2.50. Last year at this time I was still paying right around a dollar a pound.
