I did my first bacon cook this past weekend, following Meathead maple recipe. Bacon could have used a little more smoke but I was admittedly reserved not wanting to over power it with smoke. Otherwise my wife and daughter loved it so all is well.
My question is, looking at the attached photo should I sliced it long ways or across the width for shorter pieces? I thought I read somewhere that they got approx 75ish slices to a 3ish lb belly. This was 4.5 lbs and I got a little more than 30 slicing longwise. Did I slice the correct direction? Does it matter which direction?
