First Try at Bacon

[KellyM]

Finally finished my first try at bacon. Used the Bacon Made Easy method (thanks to this forum).

On the WSM


Ready to be pulled.


Some sliced up.


I fried up a couple pieces and WOW, it was the best bacon I've ever had. No more store bought bacon in this house.
Used apple wood for smoke. Only took a little over 2 hours at 195 to get 145 internal. The hardest part was waiting a week for it to cure.

Nice looking bacon Kelly. I've made about four batches so far using Bob's easy bacon method and you're right no more store bought bacon for us either.

Very nice Kelly. You shouldn't run out for a while!

Kelly outstanding job on the bacon. Like Rich said once you do your own you can't go back to store bacon. You will have to try it with brown sugar that's awesome also.
Great job for sure enjoy.
