ok Trizzuthdaaaaaamn those are some fatties in the rear you got there, what tire size is that? those things stick like a foot out from the edge of the door!
but I don't see vacuum sealed bacon in the pic!
It went over 40 hours. I did not time all of it. i light the AMNPS and go to bed.Did you make it 20 hours? The bacon looks great!

I am using a knife. my slicer is not large enough for bacon.When you got Hoosiers on the back, you don't mess around!
Bacon looks amazing. Wish I had a slicer!
it is a 12" winware roast beef slicer. they sale them at restaurant supply or eBay. retail is 17.00. it has a very thin blade that is the same thickness all the way across the blade. they start out pretty sharp. spend a little time with a sharpener and it will get sharper. then i put it in the freezer and let it almost freeze.OK, I am slow today. Just looked at your pics again and I can clearly see the knife! Is that just a normal meat slicing knife? Is it really thin? I think that is where my chef's knife didn't help, in that it gets significantly thicker near the top.
I am pretty sure my butcher would slice it for me. I make it a point to take him a sample of a lot of what i do. I also call My order in the day before. I think I get better product that way. He knows i know what to do with a good piece of meat. I have a small slicer. But it is to small for a large belly. I'm not bad with a knife. It is a slicing knife. Not a cooks knife.Just something to think about, when I made a deal on the sow belly with the butcher, part of the deal is she's going to slice my bacon for me. I have knives, but I just can't justify a huge slicer just for bacon. Neighbor laughed at me about buying the fridge.......... well I needed a new one (and I am sticking to that story!).
You gotta appreciate a man who measures his smoke in pounds of pellets!
