Congrats on the success!
Yep a slicer is in the future for you for sure. To save you the hassle I highly recommend the Chef's Choice 615. It is AWESOME. It does the job well and cleans up super easily.
Many say to buy the non-serrated blade to get super thin slices with it so you may want to do that as well. With bacon, I'm sure you could get away with the regular blade it comes with but it never hurts to be prepared and have both blades :)

Keep it up and best of luck!

Yup---We use the Chef's Choice 645.
It's smaller, but we love it---Works Great.
Bear Jr bought it more than 10 years ago.
