Ham is pork, so is bacon...

[poopypuss]

I've double smoked store bought hams for all occasions for the last 15 years, and I've tried numerous variations of wood, injections, basting, etc.

But this year, a 9 lb. Sugarland Smoked (unknown wood, probably hickory.oak blend) meets 1 lb of Hatfield Applewood Smoked bacon!

I put my fatty weaving skills to work.

About 4 AM EDT, that's hitting the MES on low with some bourbon soaked Applewood chips for a nice 8 or 9 hour smoke.

I'll be sure to wear gloves when I handle the chips, because I have to drive to work for a while in the morning, and I don't think the New Jersey State Police would believe why I reek of cheap whiskey. The Pennsylvania State Police probably would, and the local police would want a plate for sandwiches.

More pics to come as this experiment progresses.
