O Canadian Bacon!
-
Stage 2 has begun. Add Smoke increase to 135. I actually didn’t increase temp as its creeping up on its own and once the coal ignites to higher temps getting it down isn’t really possible during a cook.
-
Stage 3 here we come. I set to 145 as to not overshoot to much hopefully.
-
Well so far one thing is clear. “Stages” are not very seamless when it comes to the gravity feed operation. I am getting more of a gradual increase in temp, but I hope the final product is unaffected.
-
As you can see from the graph stages 3, 4, & 5 kind of ran together , but we finally hit 180. Now just waiting for that internal 145. As you can see I have about a 10 degree disparity between the two thermometers so when one hits 145 I will probably do some probing with a thermapen.
-
So I am past the point of lethality, Cooking at these low temps really takes time.

pr0wlunwoof More time to sit back, enjoy other’s company, have a drink or two.

It is finished.
It’s in the fridge for the night. All in a good experience. I should have prepped the smoker better. It needs a good deep cleaning, but I think it is going to be great. I will weigh it tomorrow to see where I am and probably slice it up and vacuum seal it for future use. Stay tuned!

I have made some good things and most things I make people think are very good. I however have only had a true moment of pure satisfaction a few times when cooking. This has turned out to be one.
Jonathon thanks for the tutorial. I followed as close as possible and I cannot think of what I could have done to make it any better.
I suggest everyone with the tooling to pull this off to give it a try. Completely justified that injector if I never do anything with it again.

Chef Its a Cuisinart. Part of a block we got as a wedding present forever ago. The slicer is a 240W BESWOOD250. I’ve been buying stainless Dexter knives the last few years as their commercial grade and dishwasher safe.

So we had our son at 4am this morning. I told my wife that canadian bacon was good enough to enduce labor. She believes me know.

pr0wlunwoof Good job, future meat processor!

He has got allot of fun things to learn if he so chooses. I won’t begrudge him if he rather read a book all day. Sometimes I think a book wouldn’t kill me…, but it might so i will steer clear.
