Bacon Day

rob g · Jun 19, 2021

Got my back bacon finished today. Probably the last batch until fall and it cools down a bit. Cured with Morton's Tenderquick and garlic, black pepper, onion, paprika, brown sugar for flavor. Cold smoked for 8 hours with a pellet tray of half apple and half cob pellets.

That looks very good, almost a production line

I kind of got a little carried away. The loins were on sale for $1.88/lb so I bought 3. I smoked it overnight when it was cooler and had to do it in 2 batches.

Have never seen bacon with so much lean meat! You mentioned loins but does not look like a pork loin at all. What gives?

Same thoughts here.
Doesn't look like loins or bellies.
Looks great though.

These were pork loins about 7-8lb each. I cut them in half to fit the zip lock bags plus they would have been too long to fit the cheap propane smoker box I use for cold smoking. They had a nice layer of fat on the one side. They may have been towards the thick end of the loins. With the fat they fry up nice. At $1.88/lb vs $5+/lb for pork belly I'm not going to squawk. It doesn't hurt so much when I give a bunch away to friends and family lol

At least half of the bacon is destined to be given to friends. The Dr gives me way more grief over my sweet tooth than the bacon lol
