Bacon on the Smokin'-It#3

[dert]

Second batch I've done....been in pops brine for two weeks.

This time I only added 1/2 cup of salt per gallon as the first batch was too salty.

Will be watching for the results.

I didn't actually do them on the smoking it number three and putting them on my Brinkmann gourmet electric smoker....


I had two full bellies and cut them into three pieces each...

After brining I dried for several hours in front of a fan and then put four of the thirds on bacon hangers.

I hung those from 18 1/2 inch rack on the Brinkmann gourmet electric smoker.

The other two shitty ends I skinned and hit with pepper and placed on top of the rack, I had issues trying to skin those and pieces with the folds on my last batch.

I used Todd's amazing pellet smoker with Traeger apple pellets lip from both ends.

The AMPS jumped tracks and was burning in 4 directions! Got a little hot on the bottom.

I smoked for 4 hours a returned to the fridge.

Into the Smokin'-It from now on...with only one side lit!

I smoked for another 10 hours, the next day it rained, a total of 14 as of Sunday July 5th.

It stopped raining yesterday July 6th, so they went back into the Smolin'-It with one side lit from 4:00 PM until this morning...still going at 8:00 AM...total of 30 hours so far.

Reloaded and ready to burn again...
