RadRuss if you are starting out, you may want to take a look at the Walton’s Learning Center , which can be found at the Meatgistics home page. Scroll to “How to Make Homemade Dry Rub Bacon-Recipe” it has all you will need to get started. There is a video attached that may help out.

lkrfletcher ok, curious on you thoughts using the pk100. How much sawdust did you end up using (and type) and how did the smoke flavor end up?
Randie N - I used 1 bowl heavily soaked sawdust (Apple). Smoked based on smoke schedule posted
120 - 1 hour no smoke
135 1 hour w/ smoke
145 1 hour w/ smoke
155 1 hour w/smoke
185 til internal temp hit 145 - no smoke
You saw the pics - it got a great smoke on it.
The PK100 rocks -

Did anyone use bacon taste booster on their dry rub bacon.
-
cdavis l have. I am going to do a test with my next bacon project and do one with and w/o. I am thinking it adds a bit more saltiness than I like. I never did a comparison and the opportunity is approaching.

YooperDog let us know what the big difference is. I did not use it on my last batch, but did add a little brown sugar and coarse black pepper prior to the smoke. I was happy with how it came out, but have wondered how the booster would have made it taste.

GWG8541 I have no basis for comparison as this was my first batch. I added amounts per Jonathan and Austin’s video on dry rub bacon, The taste is great. I also added a large amount of ground up dehydrated jalepeno flakes and black pepper which further layered the taste. Maybe next time I will just do the rub and bacon flavor enhancer.

I have not tried it. Here is a list of the ingredients. Not sure I see any magic flavor bullets listed there.
There is another version of bacon flavor booster that includes the same ingredients plus MSG, which we all know enhances the flavor of anything that it is added to.
Sugar, Salt, Dextrose, Spice Extractives (Including Celery).

Although I’ve only done one round of bacon, why would you add a bacon enhancer to what ultimately is…bacon?
I can see doing that if you’re trying to add bacon flavor to something other than…bacon. Hmm. -
