The Smoking Thread

[bwana]

Put some back on the smoker after slicing and then fry it in a pan. Makes for a crispy extra smokey bacon.

The Traeger is back under it's cover until it's next adventure.

This batch (my first try with the Traeger) came out better than anticipated - probably thanks in no small part to the [temu] smoke tube I used.

Where my invite.

I fear it will all be gone by the time you got here - I only made 1.5kg worth...

I also have one of those temu smoke tubes for when I use my pizza oven instead of my bullet smoker. They do make a good difference.
Bacon is one of the easier things to smoke and you dont have all that brine water they seems to use in all store bacon these days.

And if I give a weeks notice when I come to PE?

I'm loving the Traegar - it's insanely easy to use. The only downside is it doesn't produce enough smoke for my tastes.

Bacon is easy but time consuming. Eight days curing before it even saw the inside of the smoker and then another agonising 24 hours in the fridge before I even cut into it.

See above - I'd need at least 10 days.

It's going to taste even better on Thursday's pizza...

I'm still sour I missed that special. It was a really good one.

Still can't get over it. I was out of the country at the time so my wife had to drive to Jeffrey's Bay in order to secure ours. No one in PE had stock.

Pellets are a little pricey but I'm keeping my eyes out for specials

Nicely done Bwana. I've done a few batches myself - its hard to explain to others who have not had homemade bacon (done right) how much better it is than store bought.

Two weeks notice it is then.
