Some Cold Smoked Back and Side Bacon...

cowgirl · Dec 12, 2011

This is the side and some of the back bacon from one of my Spot pigs..

dry curing the slabs...

some of the back bacon..

brine curing the back bacon...

ready for the smokehouse..

I made some Steakhouse Canadian bacon, pepper rolled bacon, jalapeno side bacon, maple cayenne bacon, garlic pepper onion bacons... I can't remember what else. lol

used my smokehouse to cold smoke the bacons...

I used a lot of the bacon during deer season but still have enough to last until the next butchering.

more about the bacon ... http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2011/12/smokehouse-cold-smoked-bacon.html

I smoked some bacon wrapped bacon during deer season too...

I'm up to my eyeballs in bacon... but it won't last long enough.

Thanks for looking!

My lord you are just perfect. Raising hogs, Smoking cooking, camping fishing. That is really nice looking pork.

What feed method on the hogs? Grain fed, restaurant leavings etc. How large were the hogs before they hit the smoke house?

Wow Jeanie... :shocked::shocked::shocked:

Thank you Phrasty! I used a combo of apple and pecan. I have used it in the past and really liked the outcome.

Thank you Rick...you're way too kind! I feed a grain mixture, and they get some scraps and some of the extra eggs from my hens.
I usually like to butcher them between 225 and 250lbs but I had so much going on that I didn't get to them until they were probably 275... we didn't weigh them before butchering.

Thanks again everyone!

Great, now I have to put 2 more things on my Christmas list, a smokehouse and Cowgirl and her bacon. Does anyone know if they sell those on Amazon? I think I still have a couple bucks left on my credit card after all that Christmas shopping. :thumb:
