And, you can add some Jalapeņo juice to the brine. MAN that is great tasting!
Not sure if it is just my age but I see so much equipment that I have owned over the years on this site. Have the same chamber vacuum sealer, actually have the same 'old' slicer under my counter for the small run 'house' unit. Sold my big Hobart slicer and other equipment in the shop as we were seldom using it any more.
We used to have a line on 'rescue piglets' from farmers that we would raise up to 130-180 lbs and then butcher them. Good times!
Those look very good!
Cuterebra are NOT cute!

Ok forgive my ignorance, have never tried to do bacon.

How does making your own bacon work out compared to buying?
Obviously buying bacon is not by any means cheap.
What cost per pound do you think you are are getting doing your own bacon?

I love bacon, if the cost or taste is remotely close to buying from a store, it would be worth it.

My Grandpa use to have an old one car garage, that was converted into a constant smoker. He would hang everything from turkeys, hogs, and beef. He had the best bacon I ever tasted.
Never thought about trying it myself!

The taste is superior to store-bought, as is the texture and I can slice any thickness.   I raise the hogs myself so if I account for what it costs to have a butcher do it,the savings is significant.  I have done all my own processing from slaughter to cured hams.

I have a pair of hams curing now.

That is awesome!

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1
