Makin' Bacon

Well my efforts for the past 12 days has paid off. First bacon attempt and I am quite pleased. This BBQ hobby is like a drug. First you start with steaks and charcoal. Then move up to ribs for 5 hours. From there your up to 12 hours for pulled pork. But you still need more. So to take it higher, you now have to move up to a 10 day cure and another couple for smoking and packaging. It's a drug I tell you!

Back to the bacon. Here we are just dropped onto the grate.

Finished product. I really miscalculated cook time. Chris's tutorial looked like he was done in 3 hours at 200* at the dome. I ran 200* at the grate (150* on dome) and took 8 hours. Finished up at midnight

That's some serious buck board bacon..man I wish I had some of that with my eggs this morning!
 
Excellent job Jeff, have only done a belly once, this is my next one. Thanks for posting.
 
Jeff your right it is an addiction but a good addiction. Not a gram a day addiction. Bacon looks delicious!!!
