Bacon is first on the list. As for the process. Still researching.
I want to smoke it but not cook it. People mentioned curing with salt on my search

Welcome,nice looking build so far.

Have not had the opportunity to do bacon or any cool smoke stuff. Let me know when you are ready for brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, you get the picture. I have a RF and smoke around 225º wood and sometimes charcoal & wood.

Read up on curing with Cure #1..... curing with salt alone is not safe... smoke below 80 deg F for 4 - 24 hours.... that's personal preference..

I had a UDS a long time ago about the time I had a ECB. The first smoker I had that was made out of plate was in about 1983 I had a welder who worked for me (who was a great fabricator) build me a pit I designed. It was a combination off-set, straight flow smokes and charcoal grill. Cooked and smoked many a meal on that thing.
