Title: Round 2 for BB bacon updated
Post by: Blacklab on October 12, 2011, 02:21:40 PM: Just got done vacuum sealing it and forgot pics of sliceing. Anyway I cured 17.9lbs with hi mt bacon for 13 days. Yesterday I soaked and rinsed as directed and air dryed for 2hrs. Smoked it up with hickory and refridgerated it till today. Here we go ;)

Mossy I've only used hic. I'll try sugar maple. I have a bag from a long time ago and just never used it :dunno:

I gotta say, there really isn't a bad smoke for bacon....apple is pretty good as well.
