Makin' Bacon!

October 27, 2023, 02:04 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. I rediscovered bbq last year after a life time of thinking it was all about fast and hot cooking. After two seasons of learning new techniques, I'm hooked and can't get enough. I tried my hand at smoking my first pork belly a few weeks ago and it turned out so well I'm doing it again tomorrow. So much better than store bought bacon! I have a 10+ pound piece of pork belly now drying in the fridge after a solid week of brining. Our bbq season is coming to an end, so I'll freeze much of what I cook tomorrow to enjoy during winter. Hope you can find something good to bbq this weekend too!

Welcome from Missouri! I am not what I would call a 'winter cooker', but I do try to catch the odd nice day throughout the winter that I can barbecue. And I do have a picture of me somewhere cooking wings in two feet of snow on superbowl sunday for guests! I should try to find that and post it somewhere....
