Bacon time

[irishteabear]

Picked up a belly while out shopping at an Amish market a while ago.  Trimmed it up and rubbed it with buckboard bacon mix.  In the fridge it went.

Also did three 2lb pieces of CB in a mixture of TQ and my rub minus the salt.  No pics though.

Today they will be going in the smokers, plus a couple of meatloaves.  The belly bacon is in the Bandera now being smoked with a mix of apple and hickory. 

Later today the CB and meatloaves will go in the Brinkmann.  I'll try to remember to take pics then.

It looks like a good start and I look forward to more Qview later

Bellies are looking great!  Temps are fairly easy to keep around 120 now that I put an umbrella up to shade the smoker.  Was getting false high readings from the sun beating down on it.  They've been cold smoking since 7 am.

Pulled the CB at 155.  Smells yummy!

Lookin' Great Dawn,

But I knew it would. You're one of the ones who taught me CB way back when you were just a kid----Ooops, you still are.

Seems somebody at your house eats a lot of outstanding Bacon!

Thanks for showing---I await the slicing pics,

Bear

Canadian bacon, sliced. The younger vultures were swarming as I was starting to bag it up and pronounced it delicious.
 

 

[irishteabear]

The belly bacon was frozen when I sliced it, worked great that way! Cooked up a couple of slices for the vultures to try. The younger one said it was the best bacon he's ever had. The older one wouldn't even try it. When I asked him why his reply was "Because I can". Teenagers! 

  

 

[pineywoods]

It looks gook looks like your set for awhile on bacon!!  If the older one doesn't try it thats not all bad it means more for the rest of you
