Pork Butt Bacon
Pork Butt Bacon
Well first time ever and it came out excellent. Used the "Sons of bees" recipe. Used apple wood and I am thankful for the help, recipes and support from everyone at the W B site. Thanks for all your generous time and effort to help Us novices continue traditions from all You master sausage makers online. I tip my hat. Much appreciated. Fred

Fred you ol' salty dog! That is incredible. Nicely done ol' pal. My mouth is watering and it isn't even breakfast time yet!
Tell us how it compares to the stuff you buy in the market. Did you get a nice smokey flavor? Did you see any little sons of bees hangin' around yer' skillet?
Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
Thanks so much CW. Yes Sir, NO COMPARISON with store bought. The Mrs had the first plate I made that is posted here. We both agree we will never BUY bacon again. She Thanks all also. Smokey flavor? Supreme and beyond compare to any other we ever had. HA, I still have the pork bellies brewing in the sons of bees. That is next in the smoker either Sunday or Monday. Thanks again Chuckwagon and ALL who contribute and help.

Sounds ideal.smoked cold and oven finished at 170°F for 4 hours. Until the IT was 138°F
I wonder how your maple will compare to hickory in intensity. Will the dark smoke produce a more subtle flavor than hickory?
I've got two of them going right now with another day to finish. Also making a "chipped" beef. On toast with gravy over the top is pretty good eatin'!

trimmed and taste tested
Maple smoke is quite pleasing not as distinct as hickory sweeter than pear makes for a dark brown color. Butts make nice bacon.

If they have the Harris Teeter grocery store chain in your area, be aware that they're selling Boston butt, normally $1.97 a pound, for $0.97 a pound, a dollar off with their "VIC" card. ...good stuff, too, not the overly fatty kind that you sometimes get at other discount grocery chains.
