BBB - Again! Part 1

[tromaron]

Looks great!  Where do you put your AMNPS to keep it from getting dripped on?  Or doesn't that happen with cold smoking?

 

[tjohnson]

Usually I throw in the water pan

No dripping when you cold smoke

Here's a pic of my New AMNPS inside my MES

 

[SmokinAl]

Looks great so far Todd! Can't wait to see the final result. I just finished a batch. Cold smoked them like you. I used 2 of the dust units, lit one end on each & they smoked for 11 hours. I've said this 100 times before. Your AMNS is just so easy to use & gets such good results.

Todd, that's just sweet looking.  Mine is 8 days and counting.  If I'm lucky, my new bacon hooks I ordered too long ago will be here in time then I can go your route of hanging the meat.  Gotta love that AMNPS.  Anyone who doesn't have one is really missing out on a very simple method of generating smoke.  And the photo instructions Todd showed you above is the way to do get it going.

Looks great Todd. Gonna have to get the pellet smoker one day. 

 

[gotarace]

Great looking bb bacon smoking there Todd...can't wait to see those money shots...

 

[tjohnson]

Dave,

I use cheapie BBQ utensil hooks I got on sale for $.79ea.

Should have said something, and i would sent them in the care package.

3 hours left on a 10 hour smoke.

Here's a few pics of my progress

Some Very Fine TBS!

Open Says Me!

Enough Smoke For Ya?

After The Smoke Clears!

Look At The Color On This One Boys!

 

[jak757]

Man oh man Todd that looks awesome!  Such deep rich color.  I need to go get some bellies and start the cure so I can use my AMNPS for bacon.  Like the hooks too!

I've only done belly bacon -- is there much difference with the BBB?

 

[tjohnson]

BBB tastes very much like Belly Bacon, but has the texture of ham.

I've never got this great color unless I added heat.

The thermo is bouncing right around 100° in the smoker

Hooks are BBQ Utensil Hooks I got an Menards for $.79 on sale.  They work GREAT!

Test Fry at 8 hours, but needs 2 or so.

[nwdave]

That's OK Todd.  I've got some stainless Kabob rods I put a hook bend into and opened the eye and that'll work.  It's just frustrating to order 3 sets of Bacon hooks from Grizzly back in May and we're still waiting. 

I used the apple you sent me and I gotta say, that is the finest burning apple I've used yet.

That is some great looking color on the bacon.  Truly inspiring.

Butcher Packer have the SS bacon hooks at reasonable price with no back order, I just wash them in the dishwasher and they come out like brand new!

btw - great color! are you getting more smoke with the pelets?

 

[nwdave]

That's a much better deal than the order I did with Grizzly.  Wonder where the wife put the charge card?

Yes, Pellets produce more smoke, but it's still very sweet.

I ended up pulling my bacon at 11 1/2 hours

Great Color and Awesome Flavor

I've only had this this color when I used heat.

Todd

 

[tjohnson]

Smoked for 11 1/2 hours.

Out of the smoker and into the fridge for a little nap

The color is awesome!

Stay tuned, another batch of Maple and TQ/Brown Sugar Today!

Looks great Todd!

 

[sunman76]

man that looks great

 

[daveomak]

That makes me hungry !! It is beautiful !!!  Now I'll have to go to the store wearing a bib just thinking about "makin' bacon". (the edible kind)

I am thinking I need to order an AMNPS that will keep smoke for 10-11 hours too.

Todd, you are so cruel. Pavlov syndrome in progress as I type. Wipe the keys, wipe the chin, get a bib and reread this thread again.

It reminds me of the days when "rereading" a Pl*yb*y magazine 6 times was in vogue.
