Applewood Smoked Bacon (EQ Method)
-
Been letting the bellies chill in garage fridge since smoking and this eve was slicing and packaging day. Entire garage smells of smoke. Water bottles in garage fridge crisper drawer smell like bacon. It is glorious. Each pack is 1lb and ended up with 18 packs plus a pound or so of off cuts I made this eve.
Jamieson22 Very nice looking bacon, now I want a BLT.

Curious to what pork bellies are going for around this community. Lowest price I can find right now is 4.49lb. This is from a local grocer. This is double from what I paid three months ago. Guess it’s still cheaper than the 10lb they’re getting for the commercial stuff. Butcher shops are $2lb higher.
My local Sam’s club doesn’t carry them and in fact are about $2lb higher on all there meat compared to local butchers and even grocery stores. Weird.
Anxious to try again using the EQ method this time but…

Jamieson22 I keep hoping I’ll run across a really good slicer for that great price, but no luck yet.
Maybe try to find a really good slicer for an okay price? I think I paid $550 for mine but due to the shape it was in I wasn’t too bothered by it. I think everyone keeps hearing “grab an old Berkel for $100” but those deals are rare and may end up needing a new blade or servicing, etc.
Jamieson22 I actually have had a chance or two at decent deals, but I’m cheap and looking for the steal.

PapaSop I made a bunch a while ago, so I have not bought any for a while, but I’m sure the price will shock me.

At Lancaster PA Costco, they were $3.89 on Thursday

These were $3.69/lb at Costco in Orland Park, IL.

PapaSop That is just about cheaper than what I have always had to pay for them around here, if I could ever even find them. Totally crazy! Hopefully they will go back down to reasonable soon for all you all & you can find them too.

Thanks all. Was wondering if it was just up my way.
