Great looking sides Alex. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Thanks again for inspiring me to give this one a shot Brother.

 

I've still got a belly in the freezer. Trying to get one more before I mix up the brine.

 

Once you've tried this bacon you wonder how they get away with calling that stuff you get at the store BACON. No comparison.

Thanks Bryan. I owe Alex the thanks for turning me on to curing and cold smoking bacon. Like he says, "It's not very difficult and is real rewarding".

The slices look fantastic Alex. :thumbsup:

 

How many pounds did you get out of it?

I didn't weight the total poundage after slicing. I figure gotta be around 11.5 or so. I'll have to remember to do that next time.

Hey guys got a little change of pace from smoking... But I couldn't think of a better place to share it than with a bunch of guys that like to eat! Made 3 "shooter" sandwiches at work last night. Really easy and some great flavor! Ingredients used were ham, turkey, hard salami, muenster, colby jack, pepper jack, provolone cheese, italian sausage and of course bacon! Picked up 3 whole loaves of bread as well.

First step hollow out the bread and save the top

Next start layering the goods. We did meat, cheese, meat, cheese etc.

Italian sausage

MORE CHEESE! We did not use any mayo or mustard. I didn't think it needed it after trying it. Honestly we forgot to put it in though lol

Final layer of bacon and cheese

The other 2 we made

wrapped em up in foil and grabbed as much weight as we could find to put on top of them. Let the weight sit on top of them for about 3 hours and then tossed them in the oven... Went in at 400°F for 20 mins. (coulda used about 10-15 more minutes to get everything a tad bit hotter)

Everything out of the over and ready to be cut

Final product. Look at all those layers!!!

Great googly moogly! Now that is a MANWHICH. If that's what you all do at work I am ready to relocate and beg for a job.

 

Pretty work Alex. I could probably only manage about a 1/4 of one of those but I'll bet they were good.

Do we need to start a grilling section? T-bones going down shortly served with baked potato... Keeping it simple tonight...

You may be right about needing a grilling section Bryan. Those T-bones look real good and a baked tater on the side would be all I'd need. :thumbsup:

Smoked some spare pork ribs with a simple salt and pepper rub. Not bad for $13.00

 

Nice pull back on the rib bones Jesse. The simple approach is often the best way to go.

Today's smoke started Saturday when I took some elbow Mac over to my GF's barn to cold smoke while I worked on a couple projects.
