Beef brisket bacon

[Nefarious]

Inspired by @TNJAKE I tried my hand at making some beef brisket bacon. I got a piece already trimmed, most fat gone, from Costco.

I cured for 14 days, let it rest naked for 1 1/2 days. Cold smoked with apple for about 6 hours, then let it rest for two more days naked in the refrigerator.

After the cure

After the smoke

I cut it in the middle, haven't ordered slicer yet, busy with wife's birthday, she celebrates for a week which includes thanksgiving.

Nice work on that Ray. You will need some fat in the skillet when you fry some up!

She thinks it is too dangerous, even if all she does is look at it.
