So I guess it's been a while since I've been on any other section than Charcoal Grills and WSM because I just noticed Charcuterie here this morning and I was moved by this new section that I had to say Something!
Because, when it comes down to it, anyone with a capable Weber on this site and the wherewithal to do so can make their own Bacon, Smoked sausages, Tasso, hams, ham hocks, pastrami, chipotles, etc., using the same basic principles that we already employ to put out tasty BBQ. And why not?
Example: Most run-of-the-mill "bacon" at the store costs anything from $4.99 to $13 per pound (plus tax) and runs the gamut of quality (from bland, watery strips to overpriced pieces of adjective-ridden price tags only suitable for your nicest breakfast occasion.
Here's the Rub though (some pun intended); tasty, delicious Artisan-quality Bacon can be done at home for as little as just over $3 per pound including Fresh Pork Belly, Seasonings, and smoke wood. Interested? More to come...
