    First batch of bacon is in the smoker

    9 lb poek belly from costco. Cut into three chucks and marinated according to meatheads article. Just doing the standard this time, no maple or jalepeno or anything yet.

    It spent 4 days in the fridge turning and squishing etc. currently smoking it with maple wood.

      Yea, but it’s so easy to make more! And the more you do it, the easier it gets. Enjoy!

          I cut it into 1 lb portions and give some to friends. They love it. The hardest part is going to Costco!

            I am heading to Costco soon to pick up 5 bellies to get curing. Will smoke them next Friday. And since I started smoking bacon a year and a half ago I think I have only bought bacon from the store once. Homemade is delicious and much cheaper.
