 You must have some serious bulbs in that tanning booth!

Really nice color for a cold smoke, I had decided my next bacon (and I think I might have one pack left in the freezer) I was going to take cold smoke seriously!

I sure wish I had one of those sweet Hobart slicers!
 
Looks great. I need to try cold smoking bacons again.
Thanks man

  I've done it every which way in the past & cold smoking is the only way I will do my bacon now...

Keep your eyes & ears open if you're looking for a good slicer - if you can be patient you'll find a good deal on one. I wasn't in a rush & ended up scoring mine for 200 bucks. They're handy to have around...

I didn't like the texture of the cold smoked. So I went too warm smoke like Bear does.

Ha! That's the same reason I cold smoke all mine. Even a warm smoke changes the texture somewhat - not as much but it does change it a little bit. I've found that I prefer the cold smoke beyond any shadow of a doubt so that's how I do all mine now. My pap always cold smoked his & that's what I grew up on so I'm sure that factors in...
 
I am looking to buy bellies for my first bacon. At what price would you say NO to buying? I am going to call around locally and would like an idea on price. Thanks! --Rich

Hi Rich - I pay $2.60/lb. for belly. It used to be $2.39 for a good while but the last 2 times I bought bellies that's what they were up to...
