Great looking Bacon, after you took if off smoker and put in fridge for a couple days, did you wrap it or cover it for those .couple days prior to slicing?

 

[realtorterry]

Thanks guys!

DS, yes all I used was the AMPS no other heat. Its hot in AZ so I didn't need any other heat

WAZZ, I did wrap it loosely as the smoke can overwhelm
