First bacon... Not so good

[daveomak]

Here is what the rest of the bacon looks like. As you can see the colour doesn't look too bad. The inside meat is a lot lighter of a colour and it is the outside that has the bad taste. If I cut the outside off it didnt taste bad. I just rinsed it under warm water and now my whole kitchen smells like camp fire.

That should help the flavor... rinsing it, that is..

Maybe by December when I can maintain low temp in a smoker.

With the AMNPS, you can cold smoke 'most" of the year.... in a cardboard box, or a smoker with no heat... Just smoke at night when temps are low.... That's how I overcome living in the desert.... I do need to look at the weather forecast and check night time temps...

That is where moisture forms on the top then drips down on the food. It will leave black drops.

I examined the smoker and there are black liquid drops on the wall and the roof so maybe it was raining in it.
