If you read the pkg. Morton's Tender Quick specifically states Do not use for curing bacon. In your video, you state it's ok to use it.

Good video John. I make bacon about the same way you do. My preference is to keep the temp under 80 degrees in grill. We prefer our bacon without any additional spices and we cure for between 7 and 10 days. But the rest of the process is right there including the vacuum seal and the curing salt guide you use.

I tried cold smoking some store bought bacon for just 30 mins and the taste was insane. I can't imagine how good your bacon must taste. Looks fantastic!

I’ve been doing home cured bacon for a while now. I’ve got my cure exactly where I want it with a slight sweet from brown sugar. I’ve always struggled to get good smoke on it. I have a pellet smoker now that’ll smoke at 150 and even that all day isn’t what I’m after. I may try your vacuum seal idea to help the smoke set. I’ve been wrapping in syran wrap but that may just not be enough. Great stuff as usual.

Thank John, great video on making cured bacon and cold smoking it. I just did my first bacon using your process. Family loved it.

Going to try this soon tried a wet brine hot smoked bacon and wasn't crazy about it. Tasted like ham instead of bacon. Looks great hoping for better results this time

Looks really good John!

Looks beautiful. It's cooling down now, so it'll be easier to keep the smoking cool. Good timing!

You don't have to worry about keeping the smoke cool. The higher temps you encounter with cold smokers aren't high enough to give you a problem with this.

Thanks for the inspiration. Just got a UFO cold smoker and about to start playing. I already make biltong and serious chilli sauces. Cheers from New Zealand.

Thank you John for the very clear explanation. What do you think about other method - to make soft hot smoking, around 150 F degrees vs cold smoking? I did cold smoking and I like it.

@ManCaveMeals Жыл бұрын

Both work but I don't see any advantage in smoking at the warmer temps

I will try soft hot smoking, I will tell you then )) I think hot bacon smoking is good when you want to have something softer but less interesting taste. Will see. Thank you for answering ))

I like to add all of my spices before i vaccum seal it for 7 days. I think you get more flavor

Looks great John. Love my Lodge Blacklock pan too. I found some Finex on sale and am tempted to add their 8, 10 and 12” pans to my collection too.

I bought a lot of expensive finex. Iy looks great in photos but i prefer this lodge blacklock in terms of usability

Definitely going to try this. How long will it keep in the fridge after making it?

@ManCaveMeals 2 жыл бұрын

I dunno... i freeze mine. I would not expect it to keep any longer than grocery store bacon in the fridge.

I was just talking to my wife about homemade bacon the other day. Thanks for the share. Just curious, what kind of storage time do you have. Fridge and freezer/ if recommended to be frozen.

@ManCaveMeals 2 жыл бұрын

I dont' know what the fridge shelf life of this stuff would be but I would not expect it to last longer in the fridge than grocery store bacon. I parcel this out into smaller packages and put it in the freezer. With a good vacuum seal it will keep in the freezer for at least 8 to 12 months.
