    19lbs of belly in progress

    Will be interesting to see how the cold smoke works out in that temp - I am in Arkansas and at this point with the rain and temp pretty much conceded to wait until fall to cold smoke anything else.  Also does the cure work well in a vacuum seal?

    Bacon Cure Sanity Check

    As always thanks for the great responses guys! Well looks like I will get it out of the brine and bags and prep them for some smoke this weekend. Will make sure I snap some pics of the process and post them here to this thread.

    New build question(s)

    Thanks for the response Dave. I know its a lot of personal preference I was just trying to find out if most folks were good with pellets for flavor or if it was not as good I would have figured out a semi temp way to cold smoke but still use logs.

    New build question(s)

    Hey guys - first off great community! So when the weather gets a little warmer out I plan on starting a cedar smokehouse build. I want this to be a cold smoker. The problem I have is I am not sure I want to make something as permanent as some of the builds folks on here have done. By that I...
