    got a whole pork belly last week, so made a couple styles of bacon.

    I tweaked a couple of Ruhlman's recipes to my taste, the left being the pancetta inspired savory pepper bacon from the Charcuterie book (or maybe Twenty). The right is the Maple Cure bacon (from the other of Char or Twenty), with pepper added. Into the bag, into the minifridge for 9 days (he does 7, but timing didn't work for me, so it sat in the cure for longer), flipping every day or every other day.

    Rinsed of cures, into the fridge for 12 hours to air dry. Set up the Genesis with a water pan above the left burner and a water pan below the right grill grate. Filled with the sous vide water from the short ribs above, which was a nice stable 131 before being heated on the grill. Genesis held a stable 220 by the dome thermometer better than it ever has... Damn that setup is smooth. I might have to tweak one of my pans, as it lifts the grate up. Smoke from the A-Maze-N tube, with Mixon Competition pellets, to an IT of 150.

    Smokin' after work... Wife and I sampled thin bits from the ends. She has a preference for the maple one. I see the charm in both. Pancetta is most likely destined to be used as lardons for pastas and quiches. Maple is likely to be sliced to 1/8th inch or so for pan fry or baking.

    Ain't no party like a bacon party.

ID:	213488 Just cooked up the logo for our competition team with LakeviewBBQ and our Dad for BBQ on the Bow in Calgary, Alberta www.bbqonthebow.com.

    The logo is inspired by this ridiculous ghost story my Dad used to tell us when we were kids about a logger whose legs were crushed by a tree one day, so he killed a goat and sewed the goat legs onto himself. Obviously the legs worked perfectly and the goat blood mixed with the human blood which turned him into the psychotic and murderous Goat Man. The Goat Man then roamed the mountains of Western Canada killing innocent children on camping trips with his ax. Of course, he was always last seen right wherever we happened to be....

      You'll be tough to miss! Yep, we'll be there as well. #AllMeatsMatter is our team name.

    Last nights dinner Greek sausage, hoppyluv sausage and bratwurst. Salad and edamame fettuccini
    So my wife says the sausage is still pink are you sure it's done? I said its pink on the outside, that's a smoke ring. If it were pink in the middle it would be a really good smoke ring.

      Lol....Are you sure its done is a common question from the wives i bet

    Hot smoked salmon. Made in the Rec Tec at 180F for about 90 minutes using a maple/hickory/cherry blend pellet. I also used the 6" Amaze-n-tube, filled halfway with the same pellets. Much better and deeper smoke flavor than just with the Rec Tec alone.

    The salmon was dry-brined with just salt. I intended to baste with honey at about an hour into the cook, but I forgot! The salmon was fine without it. Served with steamed Brussels Sprouts and salad.

      Nice presentation. iPhone shot? Even better. Nice photo.

    I'm overdue for a BBQ session, Labor Day weekend coming up. But for now, while I'm on the road, this beef cheeks and mushrooms will do.....

      You are living the low carb life to the fullest.

    Third time is the charm! Best batch of canadian bacon yet! Weber kettle with SnS, Cowboy lump with a chunk of apple for smoke. This is MH recipe, except that I used brown sugar in the cure.

      Pork butt and brisket. I'm also trying burnt ends for the first time. I'll post a finished picture but I'm hoping that talking about it now will keep me from gorging on brisket at 7:30am. Click image for larger version

        Burn't ends... The caviar of BBQ.👍

      My first attempt at bacon. I used Meathead's maple bacon recipe and cured for 10 days. Smoked over apple and cherry a couple of days ago. Sliced and fried it up this morning.

        Thanks. And the best part... I had already prepared myself for the reality that it won't be crispy like the store bought kind. But I discovered that if you get it hot enough to form the dark edges, it's plenty crispy. Just not the crumbling apart crispy that I'm used to.

        Once I had the edges black, it was plenty crispy for my taste

        Made breakfast this morning. Fresh eggs from our chickens, blackberries are off the vines out back, and I just smoked the bacon yesterday. Only the bread is from the store.

          Nice! I frequently had homemade bacon as a kid, since both sets of grandparents were farmers, but I'm just getting started doing it myself.

          It was good Steve R. .... loved that bacon. Reminds me of when I was a kid. I grew up on a farm and we ate fresh eggs daily, plus we always had our own steers and hogs butchered locally.

        Tri-tip, cooked SV at 127F for 8 hours then seared with a torch. Rubbed with a blend of salt, turbinado sugar and dill seeds. Served with mashed cauliflower with chives, homemade wheat bread and salad.

          When I first saw the pic, I was expecting to hear that it was pastrami .... that color is crazy

          The power of SV baby! And not over searing because of the torch.

          But tri-tip pastrami sounds interesting...

          I'm tempted to do tri-tip pastrami now

        Flank steak for lunch today.
