They went in the MES with hickory pellets in the AMNPS. No heat - this is a cold smoke.

Looking Great! How many hours you shooting for?

Thanks Case 

  I give them a full 12 hours to start with then I go from there - a lot depends on the color & what wood I'm using. This batch is getting hickory.

Looking Great Jeremy!!!

Was going to ask how you like the tumbler but I think you already answered. I've been wanting one for speeding up my jerky making.

Thanks Dave 

  Yeah I like the tumbler a lot - I use it a lot more than I thought I would. It would speed up your jerky making for sure if you got one & it's great for marinating things - especially for last minute ideas. And best of all.........  You can use it to make BACON!

So Eric is making me buy a dehydrator to dry RBP's and blueberries and now you are going to make me buy a vac tumbler, this forum is costing me a lot of $, but I Love It!!!!!

I was think a lot about that tumbler while I was working today. Are you sure that is not cheating some how?

Lol 

  We wouldn't steer you wrong Dave! I remember you being on the fence for awhile about a grinder & stuffer but you're glad you got them now 

  But if you do end up getting a tumbler sometime let me know

I don't think it's cheating  

 I just consider it a tool to make things quicker & easier - sort of like an electric grinder making things way faster than a manual one, injecting & vacuum tumbling with brine is way faster than just letting it sit in the brine.  

   I still dry cure all my belly bacon but this is my preferred method for BBB. It's just too fast & easy for me not to like it

I just read them, this is definitely cheating!!! Might as well throw liquid smoke in the tumbler and skip one more step!
