!st attempt at makin bacon

[babysmokologist]

Well after 2 weeks in the curing brine and 2 days in front of a fan, my pork bellies are ready to be smoked. I'm cold smoking w/ cob/pecan pellets in my Amaze-N-Smoker trays for 48 hrs. The burner in the pic is off for cold smoking and bacon is on the top shelf. So far so good.

Can't wait to see some pics of the bacon. That is one nice looking smoker you have there. I was planning on building one similar to it in the next year or so. What are its dimensions? Do you have a thread on its build? If so I'd love to see it if not I would like to know some more about to.

Hi Dave:

The smokehouse is built on a 3' X 3' reinforced pallet, the front panel is 6'-9". I'm including a few pics of the build in chronological order. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
