It's bacon time !

[Southernshiver]

I'm gonna have to give this a shot! Looks really good

You need to let it dry, probably best to let it hang in the fridge one day and then smoke, it'll take the smoke so much better than trying to smoke while wet. I made that mistake when I did mine.

Correct, you are only smoking the bacon, not trying to cook it.

Thank you!

Ok, so I have done this several times and my bags always leak and get expensive. I have steamer trays. Any reason I couldn't use them with plastic wrap over it?

What is the price at costco?

I paid $2.99/# a month ago, and that is without the rhine. I'm planning on stopping in this weekend to pick up at least 4 more so I'll see if the price has changed. I can get it for $1.99 at my local Mexican meat market with rhine on, but I tend to waste a lot of meat when I trim it off by hand. I do enjoy the fried chicharrons, but already have a stockpile in the freezer.

I just picked up a pork belly at Costco today and going to give bacon making a go. Hope it will turn out good.

I'm sure it will turn it fine...really not much to it. I picked up 3 bellies at Costco this week and I'm also trying some buckboard bacon.

Just finished vacuum packing my last batch. Started with 3 pork bellies and made half black pepper and half Chipotle. Also made some buckboard bacon for the first time.
