Bacon time

[pc farmer]

I had see that. Which would be exponentially easier than me adding some smoking chips to my coffee can every 30 minutes.

​Most of us use the amazin products in some way.   I have every tray and tube they make I think.

I hope Todd sends me a bag of beech pellets for talking up his product.

Thanks guys. Pretty sure I'm sold! I did read a post while researching that a guy was having problems with the tray, and could only get the tube to work for him. He was at higher altitude. Said 5000. I'm a little above that about 5500. Has anybody else experienced that?

Got to thinking...I should probably start my own thread on that last question...Sorry about that

I'm sure you're fine posting that question here, we are all pretty easy going.

I would call Todd Johnson at Amazen and talk to him about your smoker, location, elevation, etc...  He won't steer you wrong nor will he try and upsell you.  Great guy for sure.

Thanks Crankybuzzard, I'll call him this afternoon and see what he says. Getting more and more impressed by this forum and it's users everyday.

Atomic, how long do we have to wait?  I'm in the mood for bacon!  

 

[atomicsmoke]

Me too. But it needs its beauty rest. I will probably slice it tomorrow and cook a bacon and and eggs Sat breakfast.

I don't own a slicer so prepare to be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure that disappointment won't be forthcoming!

Looking forward to the sliced shots!

My setup is nothing fancy. A 2 door masterbuilt smoker connected to an aluminum box with a dryer duct. The aluminum box houses the amazen pellet smoker tray (mailbox mod style).

I will take some pictures , but you won't be impressed.

Not trying to send Dave's thread off course, Nothing fancy and dryer duct, you must be my Brother from the other Mother ? 

 I think I could show you a few pics of my operation with pics of the finished product and everything turned out just fine.

IMO A person don't need need store bought commercial equipment, as long as a person understands the process and does what it takes along the way to achieve it!

 

I am currently in the middle of my 2nd batch of pork bellies as we speak and I have a piece of the dryer duct running through an open window in the garage.

If it's ok with Dave, I could try and post a few pics and we could compare? I am no expert at this whole meat cold smoking process, I have yet to hear any of my friends complain about any of it. LOL
