Bacon Salty
-
All sliced and ready to go. Long as I’m going to sample, might as well make a meal out of it.

So. This is much less salty than the first one. Still a bit more salty than I’d like but very good. Conclusion.
Five days curing and three rinses made a difference. Perhaps the next one will get four rinses. That would probably bring it to where I want it.
lkrfletcher. Lynn, I hope you decide to try again. Perhaps doing one pound runs until you get what you’re looking for.
BTW, the cracked pepper is really good.
PapaSop thats a perfect picture right there.

Bacon time. Round three. Used the EQ method again. Seven day cure. Some hickory smoke today. Perfect morning, temps in the mid 40’s.

Well the bacon is out. Will let it cool awhile. Anxious to try it though.

As long as the smoker is going might just as well do some baby backs. Hmm, late supper tonight.

Thanks all. Couldn’t have done all this without this community. So much knowledge here.
Final taste is wonderful. I backed off the salt percentage by . 25% from the last run. Think I hit my sweet spot.
All sliced and packaged.

Really happy to hear that you got this nailed down.
