Bacon ready
-
lkrfletcher never used the packaged stuff that you did so I’m not sure if it needs rinsed/soaked or not. If you use the eq method then there is no need to. What you can do is slice a piece off and fry it up to see if it is too salty. If it is then can rinse and soak it until it is to your desired saltiness. I let it rest in the fridge to dry the surface from overnight to 2 days depending on my work schedule.
Are you going to try to cold smoke or hot smoke? -
So - When I remove my bacon from the fridge after 7 days, I want to pepper one and jalapeno season the other. So - Rinse them well, Pat dry and season thoroughly - Then let sit in fridge overnight prior to smoking in the PK100?
lkrfletcher bocephus After I pull the bacon from the cure and soak/rinse I season and leave in the fridge to dry. This allows the additional seasoning to stick better. I typically use coarse black pepper and red pepper flakes. You will loose some during smoking, slicing and packaging

lkrfletcher Good luck, I hope it turns out good, like everything you try new for the first time there is apprehension.
