Easter Smoke Sesh - Beef Bacon and Sausage

[Astralogics]

Happy belated Easter ya'll! Had some beef belly that got done curing in time for Easter, as well as some sweet and spicy beef sausage.

Some nice wagyu beef belly from Pacific Rogue Wagyu, rubbed and bagged on the 3rd. Giving one to a buddy so he can try it out (excited for him since it'll be his first bacon, and doing it with kiawe wood)

Been awhile since I used Cookinpellets, but used two rows of their perfect blend, went for 10 hours. Belly is on second grate.

Cleaned up the links, bloomed for an hour. Bacon ready to wrap and rest a few days. Will have sliced and fried shots when ready!

Really happy I got some! PRW was having a sale at the time so I got 3 slabs, roughly 29 lbs for about $150! Sucks that they aren't listed on the site anymore.
Wanted to go back and get more.

That is some nice looking beef bacon. I haven't done one with belly yet but I do make beef bacon from brisket.

Thank you! I actually think it was your post that had me wanting to make beef bacon! Was gonna try it with a point cut, but saw that sale on the bellies.

And here is the sliced and fried shot. Absolutely loving it. Since it is wagyu, I can really only do 2 or 3 slices and I'm happy. Definitely gonna make some sammies with it soon.

Awesome Aaron! Great color.

That's looks great. Never have done it with wagyu beef before but I bet that flavor is amazing on it.

Looks amazing! Sounds like there's a couple enablers out in Hawaii!

Haha, if they still had it on their site, I'd be talking about it for a loooong time. $55 for a 10lb slab of wagyu? That's a no-brainer!

That is some really nice looking bacon. Fried up really nice.

I cannot buy regular beef navel for that price.

Thanks! And honestly, that's true. Sometimes it's hard to even find it at all.

Damn Aaron that looks so gooooood!!! I hear you on only a few pieces. I bet that is so rich!

Yessir, incredibly rich. But the good thing is, wagyu bacon fat has got to be a huge game changer I'm excited to try out.

Very nice Aaron,
I could go for a nice big BBLT ( beef bacon lettuce and tomato ) on a long sub bun.
