    Salty Bacon

    ]Made my first batch of Bacon. It has been in the fridge now for just two weeks after smoking. But I tried a few slices before resting and it is quite salty. Is there any way that I can soak it in water to draw somemore of the salt out. Or just learn from my mistake?

    Smoked giant turkey legs

    They look wonderful. I live around a huge turkey farmer in northwest Ohio and all they have are the standard size legs. I have been looking for legs that size. Would love to know where I could get some of them.

    Cleaning racks for your smoker.

    I use Pam also on everything that I smoke. But never thought about the power washer. I will give it a try this weekend. Am going to try some tilapia fillets and then some jerky so my racks should be pretty dirty by then. Thanks.
