MacKenzie Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 I was hoping to do this on my KK but next time Here is a 5 pound slab of pork belly ready for smoking after being cured for 5 days, rinsed and allowed to dry for 24 hours in the fridge. Doesn't look like much but the end product will Smoked to internal temp of 150 F. Looks like candy to me:) Sliced and ready vacuum seal and freeze.
tony b Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 Let there be BACON!!!! Looks like meat candy to me, too! Simply gorgeous, MacKenzie!!! On my "to do" list. I have several pieces of skin-on belly in the freezer that I need to brine and smoke. Along with a corned beef brisket to convert to pastrami. Just so many other cooks keep getting in the way!!!
dstr8 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 Maybe it tastes like candy...but I think you should send me some just to be sure we agree I love mak'n bacon :D
MacKenzie Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks, guys. Can't wait for breakfast Once you start making bacon there is no going back to buying it!
ckreef Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 You used a slicer for that? Yea stupid question.
tinyfish Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I would have gone to sleep early just to get up early to try that bacon.
DennisLinkletter Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 I have a BIG one cured ready to smoke this weekend.. My butcher left the rib bones in.. torn wether to remove them now or yank them later in the process..

CeramicChef Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 MacKenzie - that is one beautiful slab of bacon. Wonderfully done. Attagirl!
mguerra Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Making your own bacon is really easy. "Charcuterie" has instructions and they are all over the net. I buy a pig from the 4H show and tell the processor to let me make the bacon! All foodies should make it once. Well, at LEAST once.
mguerra Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Here. I'll bump this thread from a while back: http://komodokamado.com/forum/topic/4590-bacon-cook-video/
