Almost time...

[JW IN VA]

Your going to need a big smoke house. I hope you don't wait to late and get your meat frozen. From my experience if it gets to cold the meat want take salt and will rot in a smoke house.

My smoke house is only 4x4x6 I hope it handles it well. Yea your right about the salt aspect I will go ahead before that happens though.

Might want to wait until after this weekend from the looks of the weather.

They say money can't buy happiness but it can buy bacon which is pretty much the same thing.

How do you like your bacon? I like thick sliced and not fried extremely hard.

I like mine soft but still have a little crunch.
Or anyway I can get it!
Anyone ever try hillbilly bacon? Its bacon made from the shoulder. Its amazing! Like bacon and ham combined into one! How can you get much better than that.

 

[Jogeephus]

We call it butt bacon and you are right, its good stuff.

Hog jowl bacon is pretty great too.

I like mine soft or lil hard but prefer it soft fatty and salty... I bought the worst bacon ever in the store it had no flavor or salt it seemed.

Never tried either but I am going to try.
