Hat tip to the Old Fat Guy

I’m not the sort that takes credit for other people’s work

I’ve known some here & there who were like that

we didn’t get along to well

so we’ll leave that there

did 3 smokes to season the box

blew a pump do to sub zero tempatures

during the testing stages I swear my nips could have cut glass

I wanted to make Bacon

first things yaknow

Break it in right with the all – American scent carrying on wind

most people handle bacon with one hand

well I ain’t most people , I have a slab of pork belly 14. 3 pounds

mine is bigger this example

Be a shame if the smoker didn’t perform up to my standards and waste such a beautiful chunk of meat

I don’t care if from the farm or the field

taking an animal

you treat with respect through the whole process

yeah, we were given dominion over them

don’t mean we gotta be assholes about it

this is where the Old Fat Guy comes in

looking around for a recipe that’s much cheaper and still contain BACON!

( of sorts )

you can make this in your oven it’s that easy

whatever you do, don’t use that junk in a plastic bottle that says maple syrup

as you can see I get the stuff down road by the half or full gallon

powdered milk restrurant grind black pepper, Kosher salt with a dash of green stuff ( sage) half cup of the maple syrup with an extra splash

chilled over night

started at 7 degrees below zero, finished up at -9

I must say Old Fat Guy I am surprized how bacony this stuff is

I did add some doodads

Bear claws

the OFG’s video that I followed

already written down in the book of BACON!

OFG sliced his like bacon

it’s sausage

so mine looks like proper sausage

Now I’m ready for the Main Event
