BERKSHIRE HOG BELLY BACON

Yep, Johnny is right.
Every once in a while I turn the smoker on just to get the smoke flowing a little faster.
But I set it at 100, & only run it for a couple of minutes.

GREAT post!!!!

You said you wanna try Berkie babybacks and I've had them and they are great. But, if I were to show somebody the magic of Berkshire pigs I would DEFINITELY tell them to get cuts that people usually complain about drying out. Let me tell you. If you get a bone-in pork loin(frenched looks pretty) and cook it like a prime rib you will NEVER forget it. Annnnnnd now that's WHAT I WANT. LOL!!!

Impressive. I would like to try this but do not own a smoker to do it with.

What happened to your Traeger pellet grill? Use a pellet tray.

Heck you can use a cardboard box & an Amazen tray.

I have it still. The auger jammed for the 3rd time and is just sitting in my yard now.

Well that would still work for cold smoking bacon with an Amazen tray.
