First Dry Rub Bacon Attempt
-
wdaly PapaSop the only think better than one is two. johnsbrewhouse I think I got the same UPS crew you have. Check out the box with the Fragile sticker on it. Its like they intentionally drop kicked it. The box without the Fragile label came in pretty good shape. Go figure.
GWG8541 I think some of the drivers think Fragile is Italian. Looks like they could figure which end was up either from the tag because it looks like it was sitting on the ends.

johnsbrewhouse Is it the drivers or the loaders? I am not sure which some days.

calldoctoday More than likely the one unloading and loading the trailers. UPS pushes them to get them done on a schedule and stuff as much in a trailer as they can get even if the trailer is overweight.

Do they even notice the stickers anymore?

Pulled the trigger today. Asked if they’d do better on price if I took the whole side. Yep. From $4.49 to $3.99. Never hurts to ask.
I’ll consider this a win win with the prices now.
Besides, I really want to try this.

Dr_Pain lost two of the 3 jams I ordered. I let Walton’s customer service know via their email. I checked my emails a few minutes later and had a new order email pop up to replace.the two jars. Talk about great customer service.

I finished up my first dry rub bacon tonight. I used Walton’s dry rub bacon cure and followed the directions on the site. I gave mine one extra soak after reading some comments about being too salty. I did add some Walton’s course black pepper to about 2/3 of the belly before smoking. Everything turned out fantastic. I had to sample a little before vacuum packing and it was great. It is a little time consuming, but worth it.
GWG8541 That looks like some Awesome!!! Bacon. Man you can’t beat Bacon from scratch. Glad you took pictures, it won’t last long.

That is a great price and looks like some nice bellies. Making bacon is easy, it’s the waiting that is difficult. I almost always make two bellies, cut them in half and make four varieties. Good luck. You can dooit!!!

Busy morning. Decided to start with a half in case I screw it up.
25lb in the smoker. 10lb butt for some pulled pork later.
As usual, no one to help with dishes.

PapaSop I have two sitting in the fridge right now doing a brine cure, one maple the other a pastrami bacon. There is also a boneless butt in there with a wet brine ham cure. They will be ready to smoke in a week or so. Got to go down and turn them again today. That is one thing to remember to do everyday.

PapaSop I think you’re going to be very happy with the results. Not a doubt in my mind that you’re not going to screw it up.

PapaSop good luck on the bacon
. I’ll be trying it soon. -
Just realized the hardest part about doing bacon. Especially the first time. Waiting! Not used to this. Every time I open the fridge that belly is staring at me. And then, a Carly Simon song comes to mind… And I think about… Ketchup???

PapaSop The end result is worth waiting. I cut a sample after soaking and fry it is to check the saltines level
