Bob Stehlik That is exactly what I was thinking, I think if I made bacon, after I tried a slice, it would be BLTs.

Bob Stehlik maybe. I don’t eat bread. But can do a keto version.

My initial thoughts are to leave this in the fridge overnight for better slicing.

lkrfletcher I actually vac mine again and leave for 3-4 days after smoking.

lkrfletcher I let mine sit wrapped in saran wrap in a ziplock bag for 24 hours after smoking. I think it helps with the flavor. It does look good, great job

On the 7th day.
Ok bacon has been brining for 7 days. I flipped it over every day. I hope it is ok. I see very little liquid in these bags.I will rinse and soak. Then dry. Pepper it up. Let sit for another 24 hours in fridge. Smoke tomorrow.
lkrfletcher bacon looks good so far. Good luck on the smoke.

lkrfletcher it’s go time. Good luck

lkrfletcher Looks really good Lynn, you got a good smoke on it. Make sure it is really cold when you go to slice it and keep it cool through the slicing especially if you hand slice it and clean your knife every so often. That’s how I hand slice. Enjoy your first taste!

Still not sure how I am going to get the slices into my chamber bags. Maybe I will set them on butcher paper and try and slide them in.

lkrfletcher you could toothpick a stack together and freeze slightly then slide them in your bags.

set them on butcher paper
When we finally cure our bellies, this is likely what we will do also unless someone else has an easier solution.

Great idea. I didn’t freeze mine but was able to slide into a 10" wide bag fairly easily. I just did six slices to a bag. Perfect for weekend breakfasts.

lkrfletcher I slice mine and just put them directly in the bags. I fold the tops of the bags over before I slide the sliced product in, I do fan it out a bit. I would send a picture, but the laptop crapped out this morning, so I have a project today to repair it.
