Very nice! Good call on the apples one of the most underused and tasty ingredients around. I make grilled cheese and bacon with thin slices of apples. I also just came across a bacon wrapped hot dog that also uses diced apples which is climbing up my list! How did you bacon come out and how are you slicing it?

This one is still on the smoker. First one a couple weeks ago came out good, slicing thin and across the grain. Got a new knife: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You will love that Victoronix slicer dsohmer I've had mine for several years and have sliced many a brisket, ham and prime rib and it performs great. Victoronix is the best bang for your buck when it comes to knives.

Looks amazing! I have a 12lb Kurbota belly in the freezer that's been calling my name but I am still without my smoker so it will have to keep calling me for awhile longer.
