Smoking Dogs and BB bacon

[SmokinEdge]

Yes, one little bottle for a gallon. Whatever they have at the grocery, probably McCormicks.
For what it's worth, I used the lower salt brine last time and the Maple really came through instead of salt.
Some may not like it but we really do.
Been thinking about cutting back on the sugar in the brine and using Maple syrup but I'm afraid it might not stay soluble....

Once the syrup, even 100% pure maple, is mixed in the brine, it’s just sugar at that point, not much other flavor than sweet. That’s the trouble with maple flavored bacon. It’s hard to achieve a clean maple finish. I don’t personally like it, but my hog producer absolutely loves it and wants to replicate store bought maple bacon. So far,,,,, very little luck.
