I just use the diggingdog calculator. I don't do any special to it except brown sugar, salt and cure. I have 2 MES 40's and a 40" Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite cabinet smoker using AMZNTS and oak pellets. After slicing, I offer black pepper, chipotle, habanero and Carolina Reaper flavorings.

They'd all leave. :eek::D

"offer black pepper, chipotle, habanero and Carolina Reaper flavorings."

If you don't mind tossing a tip or two my way. What should I look for if I wanted to incorporate the Chipotle, have, or Carolina reaper flavor?

I recently made a Carolina repaer sauce and it was super disappointing. :-(

Nothing special, I buy habanero, chipotle and reaper powder and sprinkle it on the sliced bacon before packaging

95lbs, that's quite a pile of pork.
So you're a cottage industry, is the norm for you or you ramping up for Thanksgiving??

 

[gmc2003]

Well that explains the huge jump in bacon prices around here. It went from 4.99 to 7.99 a pound in two weeks.

Bacon looks great are you selling it or is it for personal consumption?

It's a small business. I don't advertise, word of mouth through friends and friends of friends. I have 12 standing orders every month and add-ins to make up 18-19 orders a month. They get 8 pounds of sliced bacon and a pound of trimmings for each order.

Looks to me like you might have a storage problem. I would be pleased to store some for you. It would be safe here. You can trust me.
