We may end up with a thumb in the bacon if he does that!

LOL---Rob, Not everybody can be a Professional Ninja Assassin. 

Hey scar,

That BBB looks outstanding. 

Not sure which you like the best?

Probably like we agree around here---BBB for eating with eggs & such, but belly Bacon for BLTs.

BBB is a bit chewy for BLTs, in our estimation.

Keep up the good work, and watch those finger tips,

 I have not had off the shelf bacon for over a year. I usually cure bellies. This was a first run with BB and I really think I like bellies better.

 I always start and finish with "a little vodka" no more than 8oz at a time

Just be careful, I heard that dog was a little "funny". 

 

 

[pokey]

Looks outstanding. I'm getting ready to start some of my own, only in the research stage at this point. How long did it cure? Did you use the Bass Pro BB cure straight or spice it up? What were the smoke details?

Thanks.

 

[scarbelly]

Used the BB straight out of the box and cured for 14 days as I was gone. I think it only needs 7-8. I smoked it for 6 hours using apple and maple with the AMS. no heat for 3 hours then 150 for 1hr then upped to 200 for 2 hrs - took it out at 165

i have been dropping my finished temps as of late and have been pleased with the results............also if you butterfly the butt you get more surface area for the smoke to penetrate.
