    1st time smoking bacon w qview and recipes

    I smoked mine at 50-70 degrees I have a propane smoker that I couldn't use on low the temp would have been too high so I turned the knob until it was almost off to keep a bit of heat in the smoker. If you have an electric smoker I imagine it can't go that low. I wonder if a sterno fuel can...

    1st time smoking bacon w qview and recipes

    I think I am doing the math right I used the calculator linked on one of the forums. See if this makes sense. 1 lbs of belly would use 1/4 tsp of cure which would be 156ppm. 156 x 2.5(1/4+1/4+1/8 tsp) = 390ppm I used 156X4(four 1/4's) = 624 ppm or 250ppm per lb. I know for the future to use...
