Can I cold smoke vs regular smoking procedure
-
I’ve got a pork side I’ve injected/ covered with blue ribbon bacon cure. It’s been injected for 24hrs now. Can I cold smoke my bacon without any repercussions? Growing up that’s how my dad did everthing in our smoke house? I got the smoker to do it either way just thought the cold smoke would be the easiest way to do it.

bubba_mcnabb When you say cold smoking, do you also mean that it would be left out to “dry cure”? Because that cure has Nitrite and not any Nitrate, it wouldn’t be correct for not thermal processing at all. Cold smoking bacon out of the cooler won’t really let it pick up any smoke but you could do it if you wanted for a short period of time.
I’d recommend you just follow normal thermal processing that we laid out here (https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/385/how-to-make-homemade-bacon-recipe) though
