Buck Board Bacon
« on: January 05, 2011, 07:37:55 PM »
Well finally getting some time to do other projects.

I just got 12.5 pounds of BBB in the cure will flip on Monday, season the new smoker and wait to start smoking them.

In advance thank you Dogtuk, and WC Taxidermy for the tips.

Goodluck, it should turn out awesome!!! You definately want to soak it in water for 2hours, changing the water out at least 3 times (definately mellows out the salt)

I tried it on a couple hunks of pork belly over the Christmas break and they turned out awesome.  2.5 hour soak in water before drying and smoking (switched water twice) and the salt content was perfect.  One of the pieces I peppered the heck out of before smoking and I liked that one better.  Smoked at 140-145 until meat hit 138, 2 pans worth of chips in the process.  I have to admit this is some of the best bacon I have ever tasted. Sorry I forgot to take any pics.

got the new smoker all cured up just waiting until sat to start smoking.

Was kind of nice to throw some little wood pucks in, set the timers and walk away.

Nice smoker.  I just smoked a big pork loin tonight with garlic, chili powder, and brown sugar.  It is so good.  I cut the loin into four smaller roasts and smoked them in hickory.  This stuff will make great sandwiches!  Good luck smoking with that Bradley.  Those are great smokers.

ok what did I do wrong??

1. Rubbed it down and let it cure for the ten days.
2. Smoked it with maple wood.
3. Tastes like ham?? No bacon taste at all.

Dont get me wrong it came out great, tastes great I can cut it 1/8 inch thick but still tastes like ham?

Thanks

I've only done one batch of BBB, so I'm no expert, but from what others have said, is that the thicker you slice it
the more it tastes like ham, the thinner you slice it the more it tastes like bacon.
 
Now after only one batch of BBB under my belt, I found it thin or thick its more like really good ham with a hint of bacon in there.

I'm going to try using woods like Hickory or Mesquite on my next batch of BBB, and let it cure for 12-13 days.

That is what I came up with also.

I did try some over at WC Taxidermy and it was great, tasted exactly like bacon. Maybe will have to have him drive 400 miles to show me.

Joe how long did you soak it after the ten day cure may have been to long of a soak drawing out too much salt giving it more of a ham taste
