I've only used Todd's. I keep meaning to see if Wilco or Coastal has Cobb pellets.

The shipping from Tractor when I checked was a deal breaker for me.

The nearest Tractor Supply is 120 miles from me...  They don't ship either...

You could try a warm smoke like Bearcarver and I do. No need to worry about the outside temperature with that technique.

Continue with your "normal" method and judge the results...  You may have a new method for "Improved" bacon flavor...

That's been my plan. unfortunately I won't be able to do the 5 day drying process. The next several days would be good for smoking. Highs in the 60's lows in the upper thirties. I may try and get them in the smoke tonight.

FYI : Tractor Supply has 100% pure cob in pellet form, they call it horse bedding made by BestCob, and it is in a 40lb bag. No additives or anything. Inexpensive too about 10 bucks.

Smelled fine. Zero liquid in the bag. Seasoned on the rack air drying in smoker. Good breeze blowing, 52 degrees and dumping rain!!! I'll fire up the smoke before bed and let it go all night.

And???

How was the smoke? Have you tried yet or are still drying?

 

[dirtsailor2003]

Smokes for 16 hours. Vac packed and into the freezer.
Not enough space to do my normal thing. So we'll see how it goes.

Thanks DS!

All I use is either my 8" or 10" Dexter. A good sharp knife like this makes slicing easy!
