Hey all! I haven't posted in a long time but still love smoking. I recently picked up a Gravity Series 560 and I LOVE it!! I did a test batch of bacon a month ago, just to make sure it was capable of producing good results and turns out I get much better flavor with this unit than I ever have with my Cajun Injector electric. This time I ran a full load of 20lbs of fresh pork loin, done with a maple, brown sugar and cracked pepper cure. (This particular cure recipe is a family fav.)
Cured for 15 days, then rinsed and dried prior to applying smoke.
20 lbs in resulted in 17 lbs out, which is pretty good yield.
We are resting in the fridge for 24-48 hours then will slice and vacuum pack.
While I smoke and or grill many different things on the MBGS560, this bacon is definitely my favorite thing to do. What can I say, life is better with bacon! :-).
Edit to add sliced pic. Ended up with 14.5 lbs sliced +2 lbs of ends and pieces for use in soups and beans.
