Thanks guys! It came out to 6lbs sliced and 2lbs of ends. One thing I might try is to slice the slabs at a lower temperature. Seems that at a warmer temp, the slab is softer and I get more ends. Perhaps I should put the slabs in the freezer for 15mins before slicing?

15 minutes won't do much good.

I put all of my various Bacons, and anything I want to slice thin, in my freezer for 3 hours, before slicing, and my freezer holds a constant "Zero".

Hmmm. I'll have to give that a try. I've always heard that slicing bacon is easier when its almost frozen solid. I've been slicing "warm" and that's where I think I'm going wrong.

Yup, my bacon that I just sliced was in freezer for 3 hours and it sliced real nice.

You guys were right as always! Just sliced a semi frozen slab and came out with nearly no ends..
