Think I am going to pull my two sides tomorrow to smoke. The weather is so crappy here right now with the rain and wind, I need something to do, why not fire off the smoker since it’s under cover and free from the winds. Right now we are under flood watch until Saturday night for some of the rivers, they just had to release water off one dam to increase the availability to hold additional flood waters from the mountains. I have no worries since we are on high ground above our creek which is full and a couple of miles from the river.

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

How long did you let this cure? Site says 5-7 days. Some let it sit for up to 14 days. Curious. Bacon makin stuff arrives tomorrow.PapaSop You are going to be totally hooked on homemade bacon once you try it.

Think I’m already hooked. Already planning for the other half of this. Perhaps some cracked pepper.

Well. Kicking myself for never trying this before. It is as easy as everyone says. A few pics.
Tried a couple different thicknesses.
Done! Some sample packs for the kids to try.
Not going to lie. Papa is rather pleased with himself right now.
Next one will be with cracked pepper. processhead you’re right. It is a nice break from grinding and stuffing. -
You guys are making it so hard not to get a dedicated smoker

I did about half the belly with black pepper on top before putting it in the smoker. I kind of wished I would have done it all. Either way, its fun and rewarding to get it done. Yours looks awesome.

Dr_Pain You don’t need a dedicated smoker, you can do it on your pellet smoker. I do all mine on my Traeger.

That’s good to know. I’ll have to look into the time/temp for the pellet

Explain to to your lovely bride that a smoker is just a curing cabinet with smoke coming out of it. She’s ok with curing cabinets, right?
