Any "BACON MAKERS" in the Pensacola area?

Hi.

    I have been an inactive SMF member for a while.  Been very busy, but looks like things will slow down a bit.  Is there anybody in the Pensacola area that I can pick your brain?  Just getting started with bacon and ham.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi there and welcome!

I'm not in the Pensacola area but I can say there is a lot of info on this forum that can help you out.  I did my first 2 bacon smokes this year all with information I learned from this forum.  I also tried to provide answers for questions I had that I could not find answers about like skin on/off, can different wood smoke flavor be noticed, and is there a difference between taking the bacon to fully cooked Internal Temp (IT) of 145F vs something like 125F that is not fully cooked.

I put all of my information here for my 1st time smoke.  It is very detailed and feel free to check it out and ask any questions you have and I'm sure people will chime in.  Best of luck! :)

Hey Dave, thanks for the response.  Just a little hesitant to jump off into something new.  I have gleaned a little info so far, hopefully will pick up more.  I will be asking more questions and am looking forward to the responses.  Thank you.
