    I really wanted to make my sweet heat version but didn’t have sriracha. I might pick up some today and add it to one of the maple cures. Its pretty tasty! Crushed chili peppers and paprika go on top of that one before hitting the smoker.

        The bellies went in the smoker last night and are now bacon. Refrigerated overnight night. I will slice and package today. Smoked to IT of 140F. Sampled a piece off an end, salt and flavor was spot on. Should total to about 20lb of sliced bacon and a lb or two of lardons from the rough ends, considerably better tasting than store bought and less expensive than even the cheapest packages at the store.

                    This bad boy made short work of the 20 lbs of bacon slicing. Beautifully uniform. It took longer to clean than it did to slice it all.

                      RafterW Santa Brown brought mine from Walton’s for under the tree today. Was very surprised UPS actually got it here when promised.
