    Bacon!!

    Been putting the new smoker through its paces. This time Pepper Crusted Maple Bacon
    This was done with my process vs Meathead's. But after reading his excellent page on curing will be switching up.

    Used WV pure Maple Syrup in the brine and brushed on before going into smoker. Not as much maple flavor as I would like. But it is there.

      NCSmokin I hear you. I've made homemade bacon maybe 3 times and it's been a few years because I can't find belly anymore.

      Yep, luckily have a local butcher so I check with him from time to time. Most I see at big box stores are thin. Looked at ordering one online but super expensive.

    Only thing wrong with that is there should be more.

    On finding belly - obviously a butcher can order it but I also see it pretty regularly at Whole Foods and it's not terribly expensive.

      I need to go to Costco. We typically go to BJs. Costco is just a further drive.
