They are coming out of the smoker with in 30 minutes.
This is the 3rd batch that I’ve done this year with the heaviest weight for 5 half pork belly’s being 27 pounds.
I have 2 whole Berkshire and 3 Duroc halves coming out as we speak . Pics to follow from the phone soon.

@dennyo-s Your love for “it just takes time” is wonderful. Really like your cold smoke process. Keep it up. Especially with the great product you use.

First as a fellow Hawkeye: BIG OOF!
Curious have you ever done EQ method?
Also I will need to give the cold smoke a try once we get back to cold enough weather (IL) as I’ve only done hot smoke so far. Am curious any reason not to just be done after the cold smoke? Assuming you will cook it before eating anyways. Wondering the effect on end product.

I cannot give you a reason for the “BIG OOF!” worst game they both (men and women) played. Feel very sorry for the players.
“EQ method” no but I keep wanting to but my machine ain’t broken and is purring along nicely.
After cold smoke why not quit? Well hot smoke only is the way I started to do it and I added the 2 days of cold smoke to my hot smoking technique and again my machine ain’t broken and is purring along nicely.

Well they are sliced, packaged and vacced in 4 bags of 8 1/2 slices per bag each. I have to give back to the man that had the Berkshire hog approx 9 pounds of the 16 pounds I got. I have a couple more pounds of bacon that is asked for SO, WE have bacon once again in this house!!
Yeppie Skippie!!

I had to cut them in half though to slice. These are sandwich bags, the slices are easily half again as wide to nearly twice as wide as commercial bacon and still thicker than the store bought “thick sliced”!
